Content warning: creepy crawlies
I had an Incident. Saturday afternoon I went for a hike with two of my friends. One of them insisted I let her spray me with tick repellent. After I got home I sat around for a couple of hours, ate dinner, relaxed, then discovered I had a tick attached to my calf in spite of the spray. I should have showered and taken off my hiking clothes as soon as I got home. I found another adult tick, unattached, while showering and then found a couple of pinpoint sized ones over the course of the next few hours because I sure as hell wasn’t sleeping. Besides I had to get the clothes in the dryer. But for some reason even though I’ve found ticks on me before, this one set off a full-body whole-life panic attack that is still ongoing. I’m crying at everything. Everyone is irritating me. And I just feel itchy and crawly all the time. I’ve examined crevices of my body I haven’t looked at in years. I shaved places I haven’t shaved in years. I’ve made my husband do several full body exams…he didn’t seem to mind somehow.
Apologies if I’ve now contaminated you with the creepies.
I just started Grand Hotel by Scott Kenemore. It has a pretty bad rating on Goodreads but I’m enjoying it so far, it’s giving AHS Hotel plus a little Chaucer with all the weird individual stories.
Hugs friend. I’m naturally introverted and nowadays I wish I could live like a hermit. I get everything you said. Remember that movie “The Net” with Sandra Bullock where she never left the house until she got tied up in some espionage scheme? I’ll take that minus the espionage.
It was an interesting listen but seemed like mostly things we’ve already talked about extensively here. But if it reaches an audience that doesn’t have the background we have, then I’m glad. I have my HRT appointment tomorrow and it helped me remember some of the minor symptoms I want to include when I discuss with my GYN.
She definitely will. At my appointment last fall she suggested I try an OTC supplement and call her back if I decide I want to go with HRT. So I feel certain she’s going to give me a scrip today. I’m not sure exactly what, I guess estrogen and progestin since I still have my uterus. But it’ll be an interesting experience I’m sure!
