So I had a good day today.

Spent some time my my in-laws cat Loki.

Played some golf with a friend in the rain.

Had some gumbo.  Had a banh mi.  Good stuff.

So why am I buggin?

Fleas! Fleas!  Fleas!

Used the flea comb on Loki for a few minutes, no fleas on him, dozens on me.

Tried to brush them off before I drived to Freeport, nope biting me on 295. 

Let the cat back in.  Flea combed him again.  More fleas on me.  Fleas! Fleas! Fleas!

Feel like I killed one just inside my door.  Sprayed the floor and the stairs with bug spray.  Already put Frontline on Lenny and Squiggy.  I really, really don’t want fleas in the house.

Time to do a 3rd fogger round on Saturday.  Going to release 2 at once this time.

I really, really, really don’t want any more fleas.  Even when I am pretty sure there gone and I showered and I threw away my socks, I still feel like they are there.

Fleas! Fleas! Fleas!

I am officially in flea brain.

Went to the urgent care with Lanna for her bites, got a steroid cream.

Did a bug bomb to get them out of the mother-in-law’s place, still fleas, going to do a 2nd one tomorrow.

Also have to give her cat Loki, a 2nd treatment of Frontline tomorrow.

Really, really sick of fleas. They are terrible. Not much worse. Although I hear bedbugs are much, much worse.

May the fleas be gone soon, and this be something we can laugh about soon.

For now it’s time of Benadryl and wearing white socks above my pants when I visit the Hamlet.

O Fleas

O Benadryl how tired you make me,
Dealing with fleas, hopping, biting, mating.

Flea powder, natural and useless flea products, insecticides.
Still you hop.

Tomorrow I drop the bug bomb, the fogger.
I love animals but won’t miss you.

O fleas, you bite. O fleas you hop.

O fleas may you not revisit.  And please stay at Dottie’s, Lenny and Squiggy don’t want to meet you.

So there’s fleas in my mother-in-law’s place and now my wife’s car.

I hope they go away soon.

Really don’t want have to deal with it in the house or on our cats.

My co-worker suggested a flea collar. Might not be a bad idea but I don’t think Lenny and Squiggy are going to like it.

Hoping the fleas disappear soon. I know Lanna is too from her Saturday post, she got bit hard.

Anyone else have any flea stories?
