Lice and Clams
I absolutely hate it when I hit the wrong key and it erases my whole thing. Stupid computers. Here we go, round 2.
So I spent all morning checking heads at all the county elementary schools. I come from a little backwater place where lice run rampant. You've heard of people who come from one-stoplight towns? I come from a whole county without a single stoplight. SO THERE!
Anyway, normally I come out with just a handful of kids with nits. No such luck today. Two girls, both with BUGS. Big black ugly things. Give me the willies just looking at them.
First girl had two. Had to go looking for them. Second girl only had one, but it decided to save me the trouble. Popped right out on the crown of her head with a song-and-dance routine, introducing himself with a wave and a "Hi, my name is Jimmy!"
Lousy bugs. Ha. Ha. Ha. /sarcasm.
So bug vent over, finally got to go home and pack for my training tonight. I come across the room with a stack of clothes to put in the bag and proceed to run my big toe under the green armchair in the living room.
You know what it's like, when you bend your fingernail backwards? YeahNO. I swear, this felt like popping a clam open. The front half of my toenail came squelching off the flesh and my whole leg felt like it was on fire. And now it's bleeding.
What a day.
