I got my second TB shots to-day. It was an excruciating experience. :)

Nurse: *sticks in needle* *sticks in needle again*

Soujin: *panicking*

Nurse: *sticks in needle again* Boy, your skin is thick! *jams in needle*

Soujin: *whimpering and crushing her father's fingers*

Now, of course, it's rather amusing, but at the time I remember thinking something along the lines of Oh my god, I'm going to die. I'm going to die. O_O

Anyway, this morning da' and Mum and I fixed the fence. And the other thing that's coming in that I forgot are the little green apples that randomly drop out of trees and onto people's heads.

While we were fixing the fence, some fellow who is apparently our neighbour drove up on his snazzy tractor and starting talking about skunks and how he's been trying to shoot them late at night because he's afraid of getting sprayed. Um. Yes. The skunks have been living around here for years and years, and the only thing that's ever happened is that once before our dog knew better, he got sprayed and smelled for about six months. Apart from that, they seem to be harmless and relatively uninterested.

Now I shall strike my "backwoods girl with loathing for city people" pose and mention that he only moved here last year.

Greenhorn.

I, country gal to the core, shall share in your score. Moron. He's too much of a coward to learn how to live with the beasties (which isn't hard) so he figures it's okay to shoot them? Jerk.

*snuggles* I'm sorry about the nasty shots. I hope your arm doesn't ache too much.

It's really very annoying. He always tries to shoot them late at night, too; he says that's when they're out. But really, the skunks here aren't a problem. I hardly know they exist. Obviously, he's doing something wrong. *goes into elitist mode* Probably keeps his trash next to the house or something.

*glomps* Thanks. It's feeling much better now, but at the time it was rather swollen, which was sort of scary.

Acck! I HATE shots. Last time I was at the doctor I was freaking out and sobbing into my mom's shirt and then the nurse AMBUSHED me and stabbed it into my arm and then while she's still jabbing it into my arm she's like, "There! All done!" and then I screamed, "So take it out of me, then!"
I hate shots.

And I'm such a city person. Does that mean you loathe me? ;-;

I hate them too! I'm so bad at dealing with pain. *snuggles* You poor thing. They're so evil when they try to spring it on you or rush it or pretend they're doing something else. ("Now, I'm pinching you, okay? Does that hurt? No? Good. I'm still pinching, okay?" *screams are heard* "Still pinching!")

No, no. I only loathe stupid city people who move in where our sweet neighbour used to live and then wake us up in the wee hours taking pot shot at harmless animals. :)

*giggles* You tell him.

(Skunks are related to weasels! One should never take potshots at mustelids.)

*offers tricolor bandaids, because shots are Teh Suck*

(That's so true! By the way, do you like prarie dogs? Ezra got some great prarie dog images when he went to Yellowstone, and I could get some for you if you want.)

*thanks profusely and yays over tricolour!*
