Is it a funk or mosquito bites

I have been in a funk lately - just going through the motions without much emotion. Maybe it is a allergic reaction from all the mosquito bites and not a funk. I am telling you those dang bugs attacked me like I was their only meal available. They just all ganged up on me while I was weeding the garden. I have mosquito bites in places that I can't itch in public! (maybe I should say shouldn't and not can't) You would laugh watching me squirm around in my chair at work trying to itch them without actually scratching. And I must tell you that I have OCD with mosquito bites. I can not stop itching them and believe me when I say I have tried every remedy to make them stop itching. The only thing that sometimes works is when I make a cross in the bite with my finger nail. Please don't ask me why I think that works or where I got the idea cause I have no clue. I am now bathing in "OFF" before I step outside. So, instead of my signature smell of Chanel 5 perfume I am sporting the fresh scent "OFF" for the summer. Wow I completely veered off from my original subject of this post. And now Back to the possible funk I brought up at the beginning. I have been feeling this way for a while now just going through the motions of doing what needs to be done without much emotional involvement. This past Sunday while sitting on the porch having coffee I realized that the summer is going to slip by me and I am going to miss the fun if I don't snap out of this funky mood and start enjoying it. That thought caused me to go slip on my sandals, grab the leash, and take my little man for a walk on the beach. (my dog not my husband)(ha ha I just pictured hubby on a leash) The sand on my feet, the wind in my hair, and watching my puppy run along the beach line is just what I needed to remind to check back in and shake the funky mood off. We walked along the water edge for two hours just enjoying the day - well I walked and he ran back and forth attempting to catch a seagull as they landed on the beach. I found a few pieces of sea glass that I brought home as a reminder to strive for serenity and watch out for that funky mood.

Hi there. Believe it or not, when I got my new Mac, I lost your email address (along with a bunch of others). I want to email you what's going on, so could you send me a private email with your address? I'm kicking myself here!
