• sand fleas?!

  netflix movies last night included a weird one called 'the perfect host'.  it was pretty twisted...I liked it! then, another Donnie Yen movie.

  jeez!  I go outside for a good half an hour, and get bitten a billion times by what looks like a tiny fly.  sand fleas maybe?  good gawd, they bite hard!! i was doing touch up painting on the outside of the wood-panel submarine (the small bolts that frame the windows look mighty rusty, and I thought if I simply painted over 'em that'd look better...and it does), but couldn't stand gettin' so bit up.  I had to quit early. I like being outside, but the bugs are horrendous today.  that may be what attacked me the other week (see earlier post) when I fell asleep out on the porch  it doesn't feel like bedbugs, so I think I'm good in that sense...here's hopin' I'm not bringin' 'em into the shack.  oh well.  the critters are flea dipped, so no worries...

  cleaned the bathroom, kitchen, did the dishes, swept the floor, changed the kitty litter, vacuumed, used the cat hair brush on the sofa (pledge's cat hair picker upper).  the sink, once again, got clogged. I didn't have any drain cleaner (which always seemed to be a waste of money, anyway), so i used a half bottle of dish soap and some leftover 'Krud Kleaner'.  surprisingly, these two products worked fast!! (the krud kleaner is for pre-washing whatever surface you're going to repaint. in my case, it was to pre-treat the outside walls of the wood-panel submarine...it says "biodegradable", so why not?

  I'm thinkin' it's a good time for a power-nap.  ready, go!!
