Ugh. Once again I wake up to bugs in my bed.... I think this is officially a sign that my puppy should not be sleeping with me no matter how cute it is when he cuddles up on top of my face. So the story is; I woke up in the middle of the night because I felt a bunch of small pinches all over my body and I thought it was just a bit strange since I sleep with a mosquito net.... so the idea of one bug biting me was pretty normal but all over was something entirely different. Early yesterday I had given Boludo a bath with some anti-tick and flea soap- well, it worked. However, it did not work in the way that I had hoped it would, I thought that the soap would kill all the little blood suckers, instead they all just fell off in my bed, very much alive. It was about 3:30 when I woke up to thousands of ticks in my bed ,and I normally get up at around 4:30 to walk with the pup before the sun comes up.... so what did I do? I decided to spend the next hour killing every last one of those little nuisances. They were too small to kill by pinching them so I just smushed each with one, with a satisfying *POP*. I mean, I know it is super gross and it caused a bloody mess of a massacre in my bed but it was ever so gratifying to kill every last one of those little shits. Granted when I came back from my walk there were thousands more so I don't know how effective my killing spree was but at least I killed a bunch of them right? ... whoops? So looks like I will be doing some serious cleaning tomorrow but no matter, it was an extraordinarily satisfying way to spend my early morning hours, and a very "Peace Corps" way to find some slight amusement in the foul circumstances in which I live.
