Why O Why?

Monday was quite the productive day for me. My guest room started becoming my office and craft room. Measurements were taken. Furniture was moved. Power tools were used. Excitement abounded!

Then it started, I showered and headed to Church for a meeting. I had the chills, couldn't get warm. I live in the Desert. It's just not that cold here. Mind was kind of fuzzy. Well, more fuzzy than normal. By the time I arrived home I knew that the flu, yep the stupid FLU had invaded my body. Temperature pushing 101, chills, body aches. Why O Why did I not get a flu shot this year? And Lord, please let me not have infected the entire Church Leadership Committee!!

All my plans for the next day, ca put! Cancelled everything. Still running a fever and feeling achy. That means I am contagious. Germaphobes do not like to spread their germs anymore than they want to receive germs. I must now lay around all day watching TV and playing mindless facebook games while whining "I haaaaate being sick."

That night, lying in bed an itchy spot started annoying me. As my hand made it's way to said itchy spot, bumps were discovered....what the heck is this? Uh Oh....it all started sinking in, the fever, chills, body ache. This happened once before five years ago. Yep, sure enough. Upon further investigation, it was not the flu at all. I had been bitten by a black widow spider.

On my buttock, my rear end, my behind, my gall darn Butt! How the heck can a spider bite you on the butt and you not even know for 24 hours?? How did the spider get there in the first place and what the heck is a black widow spider doing hanging around my house?? And where is the spider now??? I Must find these answers! Anyone know a good P.I. for hire?

  1. That stinks! I had a spider bite when in Las Vegas too, right on my bum too. (Are we extra juicy or something, ha ha ha!) I hope you get feeling better soon!

    1. Sorry, but it makes me feel better knowing someone else has experienced that! I guess we just have irresitable bums:) I'm back to normal now.
