    Oh dear.... I don't think I could waste it on the birdies.... I rendered it myself from local organic leaf lard.... too much work just to feed the birdies.

    Dear Self,
    Please don't be mad at the 13 year old boy who will only talk to you when you are hiking in the woods. As in, the woods which were full of tics last week. First, I came home on Monday, stripped in my entry way and inspected myself. DH thought I had gone nuts.
    I thought I found one attached to me the next morning, but no sign of any problems. When I was going to bed Thursday night, DH says, "What is that big black thing on your back?" Ahhh, a nice tic, firmly embedded .Got it out.
    I went to the doc yesterday at lunch time. She said there's no sign of the "bulls eye," but I am taking 2-3 days of the horrible antibiotic to make sure. If nothing appears, I can stop. If I start getting symptoms, I have to take them for 3 weeks. Sure, I don't want Lyme Disease, but my stomach already feels puky after one dose.
    I think the errant tic was in my running shoes which I wore on the hike, and wore Thursday morning to the gym.

    Oh, I see! Didn't realize it had been so much work. Can it be frozen?

    Oh Pax, that is so sad. I'm so sorry.


    Crankin, wow, I didn't realize Lyme was so prevalent there that they'd treat without symptoms. Hope it turns out fine.

    Pax and CC, sorry for your losses.
    Oak, Lyme is extremely prevalent here. And with the warm winter, the doc told me that they have been treating cases all winter. We have 2 neighbors who had significant neurological damage from Lyme disease from the era when people didn't often get treated until it was too late. I think I'm fine, no symptoms, so today will be my last day of the meds.

    Dear people who came to the AMC Bike Workshop,
    Get a better night's sleep. So many of you were nodding off and we were not boring!
    I've done this for 5 years and this was a very unusual group; I hope you don't fall asleep if you come to the New Member's Ride .
