"Women in White, And Sturdy Young Men at the Oar..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

To-day I put on my shoe. Two minutes later, I realised something was wriggling inside it. Two seconds later, I was tearing off my shoe and bleeding. *pauses dramatically* Okay, fine, so there wasn't that much blood. At any rate, the exciting climax--

I had been bitten by a spider.

There was a lot of noise, and my toe turned red, and da' asked should I go to the emergency room, and Mum went and got the book of poisonous spiders of PA, but five minutes later I was suffering no real pain anywhere besides the little bite on my toe, which was no worse than the two pieces of glass I stepped on yesterday, so I went and played tennis anyway. Mum thinks it was a wolf spider.

Also, I called Kinkora Nusing Home and I'm to call again on Monday to see about volunteering.

I guess I was just thinking about how lonely it must be to be in a nursing home, and I thought maybe the people would like having a young person voluntarily doing work and being there. So I'm going to get a summer occupation at a nursing home. Yes.

It's arguable how long it will take me to regret this decision.

Am finally beginning 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, as Waen has relinquished it.

Ahhh! I hope the bite was nothing serious. :-(

Didn't turn out to be! Not a brown recluse or anything like that. ^_^ Thanks.

Nope! Toe is still bright red, but otherwise no ill effects. *snugs*
