Get the kids off to school, put on a video for Penny (I am so thankful for my friends Dora and Kai Lan who entertain my Penny so that I can exercise and shower most mornings. I don't even have to pay them!). I rocked the treadmill and then showered. I had to move this morning because I have Bible Study. While drying my hair I gasped and then got all prickly all over. There was a tick. On my head. Attached to my head and drinking my blood! I began to cry and ran to the phone.
My sweet Gary. . . who drives all over every day between all points lakeshore. . . he was only 10 minutes away. God is so very good!!! I cried and snotted all over the phone and begged him to come home and help me. He did. He did. I'm consider myself to be a pretty strong woman and can handle all sorts of things, but ticks on me--this I find a hard time handling.
While waiting for Gary I called the doctor's office, folded the boys laundry while on hold, and paced all over the house while waving my left arm. (Don't know why, but it is what I did.) The nurse told me to get it out and that I probably wouldn't get Lyme Disease. Probably. I should watch for a rash and for fever for the next two weeks. I'm familiar with someone who has Lyme Disease and from what I can tell. . . it is horrible.
Gary got it out for me (I fell more in love with him as he took it out, killed it, and then hugged me while I cried again on his shoulder and snotted again). I'm so thankful for a man who will come to my rescue.
Down with ticks.
