Owwie...
I weep for the victims of Katrina. I especially weep for selphish. I need to figure out exactly what I want to do to help in the relief effort. BlueCross BlueShield of SC is offering $2 for every $1 we donate to the American Red Cross. My brother is going to donate $100 so the Red Cross will get $300. I am going to help in any way I can, but I might be able to find a more direct method of helping.
My city, Columbia, has opened its arms to many evacuees from the hurricane. However, there's a possibility Hurricane Ophelia will smack into the coast of South Carolina next week. However, this will seem like nothing more than a thunderstorm to the people that went through Katrina. It may not even make landfall before it dissipates.
I am fairly certain I am going to buy thisshirt for $10 so $20 gets donated to the cause.
In other and more personal news (if anyone actually still reads this) I was bitten by a spider about two days ago. I wasn't aware of it until roughly 8 hours after it happened, and then I just thought it was a bug bite. However, now it has become apparent that it poisoned me and caused my foot to swell up to twice its size and develop of fever of its own. It throbs, it's red, and it hurts like hell. I can't wear a shoe on my right foot because
A) I can't get one on.
B) It hurts like hell if I do.
I went to the doctor and she hooked me up with some drugs and says it's most likely a spider bite and that I should monitor it closely. She also says I am not to return to work until Monday. Today I stayed home in bed playing Tales of Symphonia with Jared. The swelling has gone down, but it still hurts to walk on it and it itches like crazy.
Bleh.
More later.
