Send a Swat Team

Last night I was watching tv in bed, which I love to do, it helps me feel drowsy. When Hubbs is here, it keeps him awake. So it's a solitary indulgence.

JUST as I’m starting to doze off… a fly.

A super huge, loud, extremely hyper fly.

Bzzzzzzz, back and forth, back and forth. 

There’s no sleeping with THAT. 

So I got out of bed, got the swatter and went after him. I swatted him 3 times on the tv, 4 times on the curtains, 5 or 6 times on the furniture. Once he landed on my water glass. He was making me so deranged I was even leaping around trying to swat him in mid-flight. Which I KNOW never works. When has that EVER worked? But he was driving me insane. 

He was completely immortal! What kind of fly IS this? It was crazy. Apparently I'm trying to annihilate the fly of Legends. Will there will be odes and songs to this fly in my bedroom? How far am I willing to go to kill this fly? Am I going to end up destroying the bedroom?

All I really wanted him to do was leave the bedroom. I figured all those attacks, he’d leave, right? How much more unwelcome can I make him feel? There’s 10 other rooms he could go to.

But no, he wanted to be in MY space. He kept circling back to exactly where I was. It was like he was taunting me. What is this? Some kind of indestructible Bruce Willis fly? Finally, as I’m standing there thinking about alternate weapons, he lands. Right in the middle of my pillow.

And I got him. 

But that’s a lot of adrenaline before bed.
