Bug Bites

 The fight I had with the office ladies was due to bug bites. Tiny flies. The sunroom is filled with plants. Two walls have windows. Maybe 4 feet from floor, going up to ceiling, creating a Greenhouse of sorts. There is a door leading to the garden and another door leading from parking lot into to the building. Pre COVID, Branda asked Julio if he could get a bug zapper. I do not remember if he told her to put in a request at the office.

He got a zapper. It did absolutely nothing. The wall outlet is too far from the table. Brenda, Francisco and I all got bit. Teresa never did. I am the only one who got cellulitis, requiring a visit to doctor or Urgent care. Brenda and I made traps; Dawn dish detergent & vinegar. He traps caught more than mine did. Julio must have seen our bug traps.

After COVID Brenda got the office to put our puzzle table back in place. That bug zappers is gone. Clarence, Fitness Instructor holds "Happy Feet" classes in Sunroom He used to have them in the West Community Room. But a hassle for him to transport all the stuff from Fitness Center to the Community Room. There is a door from the Fitness Center into the Sunporch. He used to move the stuff back and forth. Now he leaves a table, and supplies on the floor next to it, right in front of the outlet the bug zapper used to be. Did he remove it?  

I have this sticky paper to put in plants to catch plant fungus flies. Since my Dawn traps are not working, I put those sticky traps in styrofoam to stand them up. Caught many, many of those pesky flies. I still got bit. The last time, I decided to walk around the corner down the block, to the Hospital Emergency Room, rather than ask daughter to take me to Urgent Care. Mistake. Four hours later.

Doctor ordered blood test; wait on results; said I might get admitted to hospital ~ not this hospital, the one on Cedar Crest Blvd. WTH? I texted daughter; she came to sit with me. Blah, blah, blah.
