Mosquito Bites and Massages


Poor Tyson always gets the tar bit out of him. I had gone for a walk the other day, and like always I sprayed us with bug spray, since Tyson and I are both very reactive to bites of any kind. The walk was wonderful for me, but not for my little buddy. A mosquito bit him right on his eye lid. By the time we got home he looked like the above picture. And then the next day it was swollen shut. He looked like he had gotten into a fight and been punched in the eye. That wasn't even the worst of it. Because he only had one eye to see out of, he was constantly running into every thing; the fridge, the door, the wall. Comical yes, but then not, at the same time.Besides Tyson's encounter with the very potent mosquito, Vaughn and I went to "The Good Life Spa" in Maho and had massages. We each bought the other a Wellness Massage for Mother's/Father's Day, and we haven't had time to get them. Finally we set aside an afternoon to have them and WOW!! It was heaven. The only funny thing about it is that in other massages that I have had, the sheet they place over you is usually dark, thus covering up your "parts". Well.........this one was basically a see through cheese cloth. I was glad for the dim lit room. That made me a bit squeamish, but the lady who gave me my massage was very professional and so I relaxed after a bit. I vow that one day I will be able to have one of these treatments at least once a month, to work out the stress in my body. Someday.........
