Bitey

Something is living in our bedroom and biting us at night. It's definitely not bedbugs--the bites are only on areas of skin that are sticking up out of the covers. I've got six or seven bites on my arms and upper chest; poor Chuckro has a row along his cheeks and some behind both ears and the inside of one wrist.

It's been a couple days of this. I don't think I have any new ones this morning--hopefully whatever it was flew away or died or something?

Sounds like mosquitos, actually.

That was my guess. I haven't seen any while we're awake, which makes hunting down a source for them problematic.

Erg. And I suspect most mosquito traps are not safe for Jethrien to be around.

Bitey? Omigosh, your apartment is infested with unicorns!

Goddamn unicorns.

Boo. :( Hopefully they are gone. I recently went to a conference and stayed at a very nice hotel and when I came back, I realized that my legs were covered in bedbug bites. Not fun.

Gah!
