Well, I want to give you bed bugs to show my love!
Actually, the bug dude came and said he could find no evidence of bed bugs here at all, so that's not what it is. I'm going to check the cats today and see if they have fleas. The cats don't go outside but they do go on the porch sometimes... and The Movie Thief's cats go outside so they could be bringing fleas in. Also, since we live up here in the roof, and the roof is full of squirrels, maybe somehow fleas are getting in. Otherwise the bug dude said maybe it was just mosquitos.
It's not that we're not both getting bitten (I have a couple of bites and they look a lot more like flea bites than mosquito bites, personally.) it's that Jen is having some sort of allergic reaction to whatever is biting her and she is getting these ginormous welts that itch way more than bug bites are supposed to itch. She gets an enhanced reaction from mosquito bites sometimes too so maybe she is just sensitive.
