Mosquitoes: 45, Felix: 0
After my bachelor party this weekend, I came home to find I had been dinged by mosquitoes. I knew I had been bitten a few times, but more bites seemed to appear a day or two afterwards.
Liz and I tried to count every bite, and we lost track somewhere around 45.
I have 11 – 12 bites on my right elbow area, alone. Insert joke about Chinese food and always feeling hungry here.
I now spend most of my time dreaming about sandpaper.
224. Linda can vouch for it. Calamine lotion helps.
