Fleas! Having remained unaffected by the clouds of mosquitos that attacked us at Mosquito Lagoon, I returned home to find fleas. My ankles. I treated the cats, but it doesn't seem to have helped them much.

So, I did really well at the farmer's market before I left. Normally this would send me into a frenzy of making, but of course, I had to go on vacation. Now I'm back, I'm a bit stalled. I can't really afford to stall right now; I have retailers to supply, a big art show to get ready for. I don't even feel like working on my language project.

All I really want to do is get rid of these damn fleas.
