BEWARE THE BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS IN YOUR BACKYARD!!! I have just finished mowing, and am waiting for a little pain relief before I hit the shower. Already, I have removed one tick. Last week I had 1 on Tuesday, and 3 more on Thursday! Bumper crop of these little bloodsucking arachnids this year. Pain relief going to be sparse this weekend as I missed my Pain Dr. appointment this morning. I had every intention of going, trust me. Just that I thought today was Wednesday. Each Wednesday at noon they check the storm sirens, and I couldn't figure out WHY neither of ours went off. It dawned on me that it was Thursday a few minutes after that. Crap. Much to my continuing chagrin and embarrassment I have rescheduled for next week. hehehe [How fooking 'st00pid' is that]? Off to check for more ticks now... XOXO, "What day is it really?"
