I was going to blog tonight.

But I decided to shower instead. Which was all find and good because I needed to shave the arm pits according to my twitter friend who reminded me.

Which was all fine and good except I found a tick stuck on my cheek.

No…not that one.

The other one.

Yeah. I know.

It freaked me out too.

So now I will be up all night long running to the bathroom, stripping off my clothes and standing in front of the mirror scanning for ticks that I will swear I just felt crawling all over me but are now nowhere to be found.

We have been through this before. Many times. We live in the woods.

Also, I suddenly have an extraordinary wave of exhaustion sweeping over me which probably means that my ass kissing tick was some sort of rare exotic superhero tick with mutant supertickpowers and I already have a rare case of mutant lyme disease.

Or maybe I have the swine flu?

Or I might just be dehydrated and tired from trying to read the campus map this morning while Aaron drove me around looking for the buildings I will need to find on Monday.

I really can’t read maps. Even when I hold them upright.

So tonight I am not going to blog. Sorry.

Aw Daune!
This was fascinating for a non-blog-post! Even made me giggle a time or two! :) I’d be peeking in the mirror all evening too!

As it turned out, I only did 3 strip searches. Not too bad, I’d say :)

I tried, but then I was hallucinating ticks all over the mirror. It gets tricky.
