A Confession
Yesterday evening was nice.
No wind, so calm. I sat outside, alone, working on my art for the next big show. Not a care in the world.
The moon appeared to be full. Just hanging out in the sky, alone. So quiet, peaceful. If there's a heaven, that was it, floating by. I thought about going there, someday.
Then She Came to Join Me
I wasn't bothered at first, but this quickly turned into an interruption.
I'm not sure if she knew, but I needed to stay focused. I have a lot on my plate. So much to do and a twenty-four hour day isn't long enough. I tried to tell her with my body language, now isn't a good time. She didn't pick up on it.
I hate it when I lose my cool.
She knew I was busy, she had to know. There's no way she couldn't know.
I should have turned the computer off. It's strange. She knows I'm working, but every time I turn it on and especially at night, she's suddenly drawn to me. Just hangs out. It's fine when she's there, busy, doing her thing, keeping quiet, keeping her distance, leaving me be.
I guess she didn't like my attitude last night. I didn't feel like dealing with drama and I was far too busy. I just got up, left without a word, went inside the house, settled in at the desk.
Finally
I could think again. Must stay focused at all times. Have to remain in the zone or the results end up being sloppy. Started to have fun again, but it didn't last.
I had about thirty minutes. One half of an hour. I just don't get it. I thought the message was clear. I'm busy. I need to finish this. Stop bothering me.
I have bills to pay. Don't start giving me shit because I'm spending time doing the things I do so I'm able to pay the bills.
I Now Put a Roof Over Your Head
A shared space. Respect goes a long way. You wanted my attention now you have my attention. Why are you bothering me here, now. I need to get this done. First you're in my ear outside, breaking the silence, now you're here in my ear and getting all up in my face! What is the point of all this?
My thoughts raced like that, but I said nothing. I didn't want to fight, but now she seemed like she was out for blood. No point in arguing. How do you even argue with that? They can't seem to understand anything and win by default, every time.
Again, I walked away. This time, to give up on my entire day.
Time to Go to Sleep
I nicely got comfortable. Started to relax. Time to unwind. Time to lose touch with this reality and wander into the next, for a few hours.
Probably for the best. Sleep early, wake up early, finish when it's quiet again. Nothing wrong with that.
She then entered the room.
I probably slept for ten minutes, if that. She didn't make any effort to be quiet, no. She got right back up in my face and in my ear. Flying around the room, having a mental fit. Poking at me, screaming at me!
If they haul you into mosquito court, at least you can plead self defense.

This is true, and if that doesn't work, I'll just go for insanity. I mean, what judge and jury won't go crazy with bugs flying around their heads! They'll understand...

If this is your first day waking up as a murderer, and we define murder as swatting a mosquito, then you my friend are a saint!
I do my utmost to avoid killing all living creatures. If a spider tries to make its home in my house, I calmly capture the spider and put it back outside to find a new home. This goes for everything....except mosquitos and flies! There is a strick no trespassing policy for those particular two, and the penalty for it is DEATH.

I lured you all into a mosquito trap. They work every time!
Ants usually have to be wiped out to stop more from coming. They seem to know what danger is. Catch and release typically means you'll soon see hundreds.

Oh my god ! I can't believe you've done this man... HOW COULD YOU :( You're a murderer... yet still, I haven't hit the unfollow button, I guess because I love your art, you know ?

I've used that before. You'd need a bathtub full of the wax and a blazing bonfire on top to be able to put a dent in the Canadian swarm. A few on the deck do help though, I agree.
Purple Martins. Incredibly hungry birds that like to live in special houses built just for them. They'll eat about 2500 mosquitos in a day, they say.

You know what is also good? I used to make a homemade mosquitoes and sandflies repellent mixing Baby oil and Dettol and a bit of eucalyptus essence.
Yeah... you might smell like hospital but it really works. Good for fishing and general outdoors activities!

Mosquitoes and fleas are the only animals that I will intentionally kill, because they actually attack, so it's self defense. 'Assault' is what the law calls it. They bug me to death.

I used to warn people about my blog after they'd let me know they followed. This isn't the first time I've put something together like this, but it has been awhile. It's usually something creative, but I'm incredibly random. Many have followed for months and still don't know what to expect.

Those good looking bloodsucking mosquitoes would suck you dry if they could. Always trying to touch your arm oh so lightly then they stick their mosquito fang into you and suck your blood. The next day then they do it all over again. This is not a good relationship. All one sided blood sucking is not good.
