9 mo PO I’m standing in line at the ice cream stand with my daughter tonight. The teenager waiting on my line is the slowest scooper ever to scoop ice cream in the history of all scooping, and while we’re waiting, the mosquitos are starting to gather around our ankles, except I can’t feel the first few bites because they’ve landed on my surgical side calf, right where it’s still a little numb. Ms. Bloodsucker had herself a couple scoops of Hamster blood tonight. Upside: I can’t feel any itching yet, either.
