I did a really really stupid thing yesterday and let me tell you, I learned my lesson.
I pulled the sheets off of my bed to laundry and in doing so I pulled the mosquito net off as well…and just let it hang above the bed, I planned on putting the net back on with the clean sheets. This was the big mistake. You can see how mosquito nets fit around the bed here…
When I came home from Marks last night (we had a golf tournament on his playstation) I made the bed, tucked in the netting and settled in for a warm nights mosquito free rest. Wow…was I wrong. I never felt any of the mosquitoes biting me but I started itching all over. I wasn’t really sleeping anyway, like a kid the night before Disney World, Summer arrives late tonight so I was just kinda staring at the ceiling waiting for sleep to fast forward the next 8 hours. Well…it got to the point where there was no way I would be able to fall asleep with how much I was itching. I turned on the flashlight and looked around the netting but couldn’t find any mosquitoes and I didn’t hear any buzzing around my ears so I figured the bites must have been from earlier in the day and the itching was just kicking in because I wasn’t preoccupied with other things.
This morning when I woke up, the first thing I saw was about 30 pillsbury dough boy mosquitoes chilling on the net right above my head. The more I looked around the more I saw. My mosquito netting trapped the little buggers in there instead of keeping them out…and I am covered with itchy red bumps.
What’s the lesson? ALWAYS ALWAYS KEEP YOUR NETTING TUCKED UNDER THE BED. Lesson learned.
Did I mention Summer flies in late tonight?
