Happy birthday, Jen and Meara. Just had a battle of wills with my cat about not playing with computer parts. Very stupid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Any word from the Empress? Or is she in lock-up because police had to break up the Bride's Maids Brawl of Ought-Five?
I AM NOT IN JAIL! I am typing up more and will post in a bit. All in all, it wasn't as bad as it could be and I actually had a good time. Mostly.

whee, glad you had a good time, Aimee. Also glad that you are not in jail.

Heh. I use the scroll bar as I'm reading. When your name appeared at the bottom of my screen, my first thought was, "Well, at least she's not in jail!" I'm glad it sounds like it was at least decent, and that it's over for you, Aimee.

Because books.
Hivemind question: So I woke up yesterday with a small, flat red bite-type thing on the inside of my arm, about the diameter of a pencil's eraser. It had a darker red dot inside it, but it didn't itch, wasn't raised, and I decided to ignore it. By last night, it had raised, was itchy, and is now somewhere between the diameter of a quarter and a half dollar. It hurts a little bit if I push on it. Any clue what it could be?
It can't be a tic -- I wasn't outside at all that day, except for in the car, and it's not in a place where I wouldn't have noticed a tic burrowing in. Spider bite, you think? Can I ignore it, or just put some caladryl lotion on it and *then* ignore it?

Well, that's good news.

If it feels warmer than the surrounding ok skin, prolly spider bite.

We have no idea where/when/why/how Scott got his tick bite.
That said, it sounds like it could be either a spider bite, or a reaction to a moquito bite. Do you have a doctor in your new area, yet? If not, can you call your old doctor? /gunshy

Hey. New board.
Well, I'm glad NOLA looks mostly okay, but now I'm worried for Biloxi/Gulfport. That's even closer to home for me, and I definitely have friends there, and friends with family there.

The reports on NOLA look really mixed (at least they do through my Buffista filter). It was spared the huge storm that was expected last night, but there seems to be significant flooding and damage in some areas, and I can't quite make out if the time of the storm surge has passed, or is yet to come.

Scott's Lyme Disease (which the Dr.'s office confirmed this morning)
Oh, damn. Truth to tell, that's what made me question this, but I just can't imagine that I wouldn't have noticed a tick (which I just realized I was misspelling) on my arm, below my elbow. Hmmm.
Could be a spide bite, I guess, although it's not hot. And I am a mosquito's favorite meal, apparently -- I get bitten all the time, and I've never had a reaction like this one.

I know. The thing about it missing NOLA is that it has to go elsewhere, and Biloxi/Gulfport are getting hit hard. {{{vibes}}} for your friends there.
