Good morning!!
I'm awake and sauteed working on a complete bake. I feel much better today.
At the sound of the beep it will be 65 degrees F ... (beep).
dude....what kind of spider?
I don't know. I was getting rid of a pile of Vetiver grass clippings and maybe three handfuls later I thought I was cut by the grass (it happens). I honestly paid no mind since I'm used to that sort of stuff.
It started slowly and after 10 minutes I could not ignore that something had happened. I tried to call up my Congressman to see if there was a Govt. bailout for just such a thing but I was informed he was on a 5 week cruise in the Indian Ocean with several gun, tobacco and oil lobbyists. I hung up the phone with my swollen hand and said, "At least I've got that going for me".
.
I'm still waiting to see if the tell tale blister of the "Brown Recluse" shows up. barring that outcome, I'm betting on a Black Widow or a Velvet Ant. The pain was massive in intensity and may have killed a lesser man...... (just kidding). It hurt like a deep ache down in the meat of the hand which lasted for about 18 hours.
I've ruled out Coral Snake ( i do have plenty and we wave to each other all the time) just cuz I know it's not.
I'm still in limbo land with it....just watching it
Extra bake today....
out.
