An Itchy Update

Image
I'm sure everyone's excited to hear about my bug bites  *crickets* I was awoken at 5am this morning by the itch and found myself scratching at my ankles. Guess you could say I scratched myself awake. Before I slept, I put on antibiotic cream and tried some bedak sejuk to relief the itch. None of it worked. I even rubbed a tea bag over my ankles (read it online), I was afraid that my annoyed, groggy scratching would make them bleed so I hobbled around half asleep looking for calamine lotion and slathered it on before diving under the covers again. Woke up a few hours after because of the itch again! I was so annoyed! Ran down the stairs, still half asleep, half blind because I couldn't find my glasses, threw salt and baking soda into a pail of hot water ( I read it online, a stinging yet relieving feeling.

There were tonnes of leather couches, cleaned up and in really great condition, there was a whole fleet of sewing machines, ice cream makers, lamps, even hospital beds, heck! we even saw a boat. That's right a BOAT.  We were pretty impressed with how well run the place was, it was very organized and everything looked really cleaned well. Too bad we didn't find anything to bring home. When we left, I saw some tiny tiny leaves sticking to my feet and ankles and brushed them off... and they started hopping. FML! WHY DO
