Chiggers. No, it's not a new exclamation- it's a bug. A bug in Texas. I have chiggers. They don't itch yet, but I've been told that they will. I'm not going to write up a description for you, but they're fairly easy to research if you're interested in knowing more.
And, on a little brighter subject, I have my first day of work today. I have to leave just as soon as I finish this post. It's going to be interesting. I've never worked in a big chain restaurant like this before- so I'm kind of excited to see how they do things differently than a little Mom'n Pop store.
Oh, by the way, did I mention that I'll be riding my bike to work? It's five miles there and five miles back. Mostly downhill on the way there... and very windy on the way back... to say nothing of the uphill.
I'm currently watching the youngest one wrestle with his cat. She is such an easy going cat and now I know why. He's tossing her around like a rag doll and she quietly enduring it. She's so sweet. Her name is Dixie, there is a picture of her... here. I think we've kind of become buddies, we fell asleep on the floor together the day before yesterday... I'd show you the picture that Charity took with her cell phone, but it's not exactly flattering. :-)
Well, I should go get ready to go- Talk to y'all when I get back from work!

Complications:
Secondary infection may follow intense scratching as a complication.
DO NOT SCRATCH THEM! In addition, take Benadryl when you are not working or riding the bike 5 MILES (!) to work. Are you going to be a sweaty mess by the time you get to work?
Don't worry about me- I'm staying with a nurse and his family (his daughter is a geek when it comes to research) I'm in good hands.
And the ride to work is easy- it's all downhill... it's the ride home that wears me out!
Oh no! That's gross! But praise God you're working now! And hooray for riding your bike to work! You'll feel the difference in no time!
5 miles all down hill? It's GOTTA be horrible getting back up. But, like you said, at least its AFTER work that you will be all sweaty...and really tired. How WAS work? Oh - and how are your chicker bites (I have to think of them as bites and not something live imbedded [if that's what they are] into your skin); are they itching horribly? I'm glad you are in good hands and staying with geeks. I do better with people who are not considered normal by the people who think they are hip and normal. I live in my own little geekdom, and it's quite comfortable here. Enjoy your geekdom there with the sweet kitty and kind Christian people.
