I'm almost certain I have lyme disease. Stupid ticks. I'm all but sure it is from the stupid Middle School course.
Yesterday I had a headache and was cold all morning in the office. I decided it must just be cold in the building. I went over the the Cafe to get some lunch, decided it was too cold there to eat. Got my lunch and ate outside. Still cold, head hurting, I went home.
From around 3-6-ish I passed out on my couch. Then I got up, struggled to make something for dinner, ate, and decided, around 8, that I should go back to bed. Besides waking up a couple times to go to the restroom, I slept until 7:30 AM.
Realizing this is way too much sleep for a normal person, I looked up lyme disease. Well, in order to have that I should have a tick bite with a rash around it. I had pulled a full-grown tick off of my neck about two days ago. It was just crawling around, but I was worried I would have to check my scalp for the bite (which would be...difficult...to say the least. My reward for not getting a hair cut in over a year.)
Well, three days ago, I had found a very small black insect somewhere, well, where you couldn't see it just about no matter what I was wearing. I pulled it off and tried to throw it on my coffee table, but I lost it somewhere. Low-and-behold, this morning when I locked myself into a bathroom stall I found the tick and rash. Panicked, I tore the tick off and put it in the toilet.
Thankfully my usual doctor has an opening at 2:40 PM today. Now I just have to try to stay awake for it.
