Those danged sand fleas
Hi all. I'm in Daytona Beach, have been here on "vacation" since Sunday. This has been a collosally "bad" vacation. We are staying in a condo/resort that is new to us (our fave place for the past 10 years almost tripled their price, I just didn't feel it was worth it); and the place is inhabited by creatures. I've seen moths (no biggie), a tadpole (how did it get up to the fifth floor?), but mostly I've been bitten by invisible flea, nits, or something which are inhabiting the recliner in the livingroom. The place is genteel seedy, if you know what I mean. First glance makes you think it is quite nice, but the more you delve into the furnishings, using the facilities, etc., the more obvious it becomes that it is past its heyday. I have red welts on the back of my neck, in the creases behind my knees, over my elbows, and around my ankles where invisible beasties have feasted on me. My husband suspected the recliner; he ended up putting a clean sheet over the entire chair (like a shroud, which I found morbidly amusing); the beasts apparently can't chew through the cloth, and I'm not getting any new welts.
We've decided to leave early. Tomorrow (Friday) is my birfday and I just would rather be home, enjoying the Punk dog and the familiarity of my own home, warts and all (however, sans biting critters). We've paid through until Saturday, there is no hope of getting a refund, but I do plan to at least tell the management team they need to thoroughly vacuum that offensive chair so the next guests will not be eaten alive.
It's really too cool here to sun bathe much, to boot. A fizzled week at the beach .
Later yall.
