you, me, and the meth head makes three
There's a "neighborhood meeting" happening on Wednesday evening, and I was thinking of attending out of sheer curiosity, but I keep picturing the whole meeting being me, the head of the neighborhood council, a crazy cat lady, and possibly a meth head who wandered in off the street.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I'M UP FOR THAT SORT OF NONSENSE.
ALSO
I went downstairs to do my laundry a day or two ago.
The washing machine was already open, so I grabbed a handful of clothes and made a free-throw into the tub AND A SWARM OF MOSQUITOES FLEW OUT.
A SWARM. OF MOSQUITOES.
I have lived in the desert since I was three years old. I have never seen that many mosquitoes in one place before in my life. HOLY SHIT A SWARM I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY DO THAT I guess it makes sense that they would but HOLY SHIT.
I jumped away and hit the back of my head on the electrical meter, and through the grace of some sort of deity I came out of that nightmare with ZERO mosquito bites. Usually if there is one mosquito in a square mile of me he will find me and I will end up with 13 bites, but I face down a whole swarm and NOTHING.
(And yes, I am sure they were mosquitoes, but my hyper-vigilance in the face of a swarm meant that they could not land to get a bite while I was rubbing every part of my body down like... like a meth head with bugs under his skin.)
Merry Laundry Day!
