The little bastards strike again.
Our back patio and slider door have become a refuge for fire ants. I've gotten a couple of toes on my left foot bitten/stung by the litte fuckers.
My middle toes are so swollen, they push the end toes apart. I've been going barefoot in the house and have my slider sandals to wear when I leave the house. I don't know what I am going to do when I have to wear shoes to work. That won't be until Wednesday at least, maybe I'll have a smaller foot by then.
And the pain... and the itch...I can't decide if it's an itchy pain or a painful itch. But sleeping was very difficult last night. It's like a sunburn over your whole body concentrated into a square inch.
And something stung my forearm a few days ago, leaving a stinger crater surrounded by a half-dollar size welt around it. That hurts and itches too.
And the dog fell on top of me yesterday, raking her toenails across my left inner thigh. So now I've got two long shallow scratches, with raised welts and now the deep bruising is starting to appear. I'm thinking the left leg's gotta go.
I started thinking last night about at least taking a cleaver to the toes, they were killing me so.
So it's been nothing but misery and malady around here for me lately. Hmmmm... Misery and Malady, Jane Austen should have written that one.
