Bite Me!

I'm incredibly frustrated. I really hope I don't end up with dengue fever from this. Every night this week, despite using bug repellent, I've woken up in the middle of the night covered in bites.

The house I've rented doesn't have any windows with proper screens on them, just wooden slats that let in every biting insect imaginable. 

Today, I'm itching like crazy everywhere. My legs are the worst, but my whole body is covered in bites. There was no mention of this in the Airbnb ad - if I had known I needed to sleep under a mosquito net, I would never have rented it. 

It's rare for me to get this annoyed, but being itchy and lack of sleep is turning me into what my kids call 'the dragon lady.' I'm ready for this to be over!
