Every Wednesday, we have Jackpot Bingo...everyone (staff and residents) buy bingo tickets for $1/each. There are two prizes, and 1/3 goes into the Residence Council for our activities. I volunteered to help sell the tickets...so, I've been scooting around all morning. This is a "tuff crowd".
I did pretty well...probably sold a bit more than 1/3 of the total. I didn't win, but two of the people who bought from me did. It really felt as good as if I had won myself. One of them was a nurse I just am crazy about...she was the first to take care of me when I came here. I wasn't happy with the way the furniture was laid out in my room; and, instead of waiting for Housekeeping to come over and rearrange it, she said, "Oh, the hell with it...and, moved everything around herself."

When she won today, she came looking for me, and actually forced me to take half of her winnings. I nearly broke down and cried!

You need a mosquito net over your bed. Probably the WHO could ship you an extra they have left over from sub-Saharan Africa!

Aussie Mozzie Repellents

OK Boston Luv.....

I've heard a lot of ideas - from drinking vinegar, to eating garlic, to rubbing baby oil mixed with dettol (antiseptic), to rubbing methylated spirits on you

but vitamin B seems to work - whether in supplements or the good old Aussie vegemite

LOL of course that'll only stop them biting you LOL not buzzing - maybe citronella will work...either the plant or candles...

or a bug zapper (they have silent ones now I hear LOL)

the castor bean plant is meant to be good too - whatever that is LMAO

Am on a second antibiotic now and drinking gallons of gatorade. Am to call doctor tomorrow with progress or problems. Did feel ok enough to walk the dogs today, so that's good.

That's cool about the Jackpot Bingo, and that nurse is a real treasure!

Where can you find a mosquito net in the US? Nice and soaked with potent bug repellant? It's like just because we can't get malaria from skeeters, we are denied adequate protection! The San Francisco region seems to need emergency supplies. Screw WHO, let's get in touch with USAID. We need to help our own before we go giving all the nets to Thailand and South Africa.

Will tell them this when I call tomorrow morning.

Ok, mr rock and roll guy... what comes after "see me feel me"? Is it "touch me heal me"? I haven't heard that album in a dog's age!

LOL it's nearly 40 years old (1969) so I had to check to be sure but yep - kinda spiritual really

See me, feel me,
Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me,
Touch me, heal me

Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory,
From you, I get opinions,
From you, I get the story.

Dee - I was reading about that. Good idea. However, it's the buzzing that really bothers me. I just looked at my sticky tape and there is 1 already in there!!!! Hooray.

I think it's time to invest ina bug zapper. I wouldn't mind the noise really. I sleep like a cat and wake up several times a night anyway.

Katie - a net is also a good idea (Amazon.com here) but I don't think would be very attractive - I just redecorated my room and it's quite beautiful now. I'd lose points on HGTV Rate My Space if I did that!!!

Thanks for the tips guys.

It's funny, Dee, how the lyrics never really go away, all I have to do is hear the music and the words just flow along! I think you could say I have a 'phonographic' memory! Too bad my rock and roll memory can't earn money for me.

No whines as of yet. Just hello and :ghug2 for everyone. Hope you're feeling better Least and Ananda. Is the bug problem taken care of Kathleen? For some reason that doesn't sound right. I mean the bed bugs. I mean the mosquitos. Move to New Mexico. Its too dry for those things. We do have rattlesnakes though. Ta!

Will be calling doctor and crying the blues. Terrible headache all last night, kept waking up to it, still there, and having strange scary dreams of being chased and captured. So woke up late this AM feeling worse than when I went to bed. This is ridiculous. Sober for 74 days now and feeling absolutely awful.
