I was sitting in my bedroom, working away on my laptop, resting my left hand on my bed. I started to type something with both hands and noticed something moving on said hand. Assuming it was a fruit fly ('tis the season ), I took a closer look, and literally could not believe my eyes. It was a FLEA!!!!! I don't hold with killing things, but make an exception for things that bite me (mosquitoes, blackflies and FLEAS!!!) Squooshed it immediately.
But oh man, A FLEA!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, I immediately went over James with a fine tooth comb but couldn't find any flea dirt, never mind a flea, on him. I haven't had a flea in the house in probably 20 years. Maxe got them on her occasionally, but they didn't like Alex, and I've never seen one on the last 3.
Until now...my skin is literally crawling, and I'm not crazy about getting into bed. Just plain *ick*. What are the odds that it was a one-off?
