Last night was the night of the no-see-ums. They were out in force and they kept me from sleeping well. My regular mosquitoes I can hear and in most cases ward off with a mighty swipe of my hands but these critters sneak up on you, no warning, and then they bite. And I think they operate in swarms, but that is totally my idea. I really don't like them, in fact I like them so little that I went to the store and bought a bunch of nasty smelling ,insect repelling, slow burning spirals. It is about the only thing that can keep the buggers in check. I'll admit that if I were a no-see-um, I would go away too. Those spirals are lethal.
And at the store I got some more cheap wine too. Spirals for the outside, cheap wine for the inside.
Tonight I shall tumble in to the arms of Morpheus
I hope.
