I imagine they are small, cockroach/mosquito crosses with red eyes.

The anger bug....
Seems that with the heat, mosquitoes aren't as prevalent, fleas are exactly the same as always and the anger bug comes out in droves.
Normally, anything that lowers the mosquito population is OK with me.
But the anger bug is irritating - which I guess is one of it's job descriptions.
I don't like being angry... but when it's hot, I have a harder time dealing with frustrations.
For instance, I am frustrated because I am a big fat idiot and I left the keys in my ignition last night and the car battery was dead this morning.
And I am angry that I still don't have the insulation up on the windows - or the screens built to keep out the sun.
I am angry that people who I consider to be smart and capable can be so stupid - for instance, who the hell doesn't know to write a thank you note for an interview and send it that same day. Hand written. Hand addressed. Done.
I am angry that the previous roommate took advantage of what he knew was a sore situation and did real damage to my home. His dog shit on the floor every day and instead of cleaning up the smears, he just let them dry. So I scrubbed and scrubbed and I still have to scrub. And the room still stinks.
I am angry that my rib is still out and I can't get it back in and it hurts and I am gaining weight or at least flab and I don't know what to do about it but wait it out.
I am angry that the hot tub I just bought now has an issue and will need "fixing."
I am angry that Red is so sick and I can't get there faster.
I am angry that I can't get the pilot light on my oven lit. The stovetop pilot lights lit just fine.
I am angry that Ralph is in Mexico and I can't have him just come fix shit and that he's the only one I trust and like enough to ask.
I am angry that my cats are gone and I can't figure out why they slipped away and how I became such an irresponsible kitty mommy.
I am angry at how much things cost and how bad my dried up yard looks and that I am never, ever done working on the house.
I am shaking my head. I am almost never like this... today, however, I just needed the impetus to get some shit done - so apparently the universe gave me anger bugs... and they just keep biting.
