My cat, as you may recall, is allergic to fleas, so you can imagine my
horror at seeing a flea jump from her to me on my bed! Oh no--not
again. Oh yes, again. All the bed linens will be washed today, as well
as any other exposed clothing. Daisy gets a bath and a trip to the vet
as well. (That is probably where she got them!) All the dishes will go'
outside in boxes--as well as any boxed foodstuff. Cans can stay indoors.
Yes, it is time to bomb again.
And we are having company next weekend, so had planned to do some
cleaning, but not quite this much. My partner's mother, brother and his
kids are coming to visit. I am actually looking forward to that part--just
not to the flea intensive house cleaning. Oh well, the price of owning a
cat. I think she owns us really. And she is such a well-behaved and
loving cat. I am changing from Advantage 2 to Revolution for flea control.
I think it will give me, or rather Daisy, better coverage.
I did get sick again. I was sort of out of it for past 2 days; I'm feeling
better this morning despite little sleep. Still bug-phobic. This time,
though the symptoms were nearly the same, antibiotic was changed.
This time I am on Keflex for 10 days. My grandson became ill also,
with exactly the same set of symptoms. We are both on 10 days of
antibiotics--which will get me through to my "real" doctor's appointment.
The hummingbirds are still here--more numbers than ever. I have had to
clean and fill one of the three feeders already, and the other two are
getting low. For such little birds, they are surely eating a great deal.
Speaking of eating well, Frankie the Friendly Marsupial is eating quite
well. She/he especially enjoys left over pancakes with syrup. Frankie
definitely has a sweet tooth!
Wish me loads of fun as I go through the deflea process again.
All for now.
