The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
What happened this week?
This week started off not so good, but got a bit better as it progressed. I was quite tired from my period migraine and slept a bit more at the start of the week. I spent most of this week in pain as I managed to hurt something in my back and then probably moved weirdly and managed to hurt my shoulder and neck as well. Then a lot of muscles got stiff and painful, painkillers didn’t really do much and it took days before I felt better. I think something with my muscles just isn’t right as this happens sometimes and I have to visit the doctor about it, but I have a few other important appointments in the coming few weeks, so it will have to wait till after that as I can’t handle too many things at once.
Despite having our new mosquito screen up we still had a few mosquitos in the house. About 2-3 or every day so far. I got bitten a few times too and have several bites on my hands now. I always have quite bad reactions to the bites. I still had some anti-histamine pill leftover from last year which helped a bit at least.
At first we thought maybe they got in while we were installing the newest screen or in another way, but after a few days we still had mosquitos. So then we considered they might be coming in through the ventilation grilles on our new windows as the gaps are larger than the previous ones. So I added some mosquito netting in front of those to test the theory, so far this seems to be working to keep them out. I ordered some velcro so I can fasten them more securely than with the tape I currently used.
I finished up prooflistening to the audiobook I was working on and then started on the next one. I also did some other work for the same author as I had some newsletters, blog posts and social media posts to schedule for the next few months and wanted to get most of that done, which I did.

I’m sorry you had pain and mosquitos. My daughter goes to PT once a month to help with her muscle issues. We never seem to have mosquitos. I think because we live near a golf course and they spray for them. I hope you have a better week!

That sounds helpful your daughter has PT for her muscle issues, I mostly try to do some stretches and such for my muscles, but sometimes that doesn’t help enough.
Sorry to hear about the pain and headaches. Hopefully the mosquitoes are stopped from the screens in the future.
I really hope this is the last we’ve seen from the mosquitos and the new interventions work.
Those mosquitoes sure are giving you a run for your money. Hopefully the vents were the issue and you have that covered now. Sorry you hurt your back, too.
Trust this week will be better for you, Lola!
It’s annoying to be dealing with them this much again. And I don’t get why the ventilation grilles are large enough for them to get through. It seems the vents were the issues probably as we’ve seen only a few after that and those were likely already in the house.
