So I almost died. Yep, you heard right. I was bit by a spider in my room last weekend and thought nothing of it. I actually didn't know it was a spider until it dawned on me in the shower today. It bit my chin and it swelled up like a mutherfucker. I finally went to the doctor today and she just about crapped her pants. I was bit pretty bad I guess, and I've just let it sit. It swelled up my chin and lymphnodes, plus it gave me a lisp because it fucked with my bottom lip. She put me on Keflex and I got a shot in my butt. Fun times 'eh. It really hurts like a mutherfucker. My mom saw it when I came home and she had a shit fit. We've been telling my dad to call an exterminator for over a year about the spiders here. Of course, men don't listen. I am now forbidden to sleep in my room until we get someone out here to tent the house. As Chris said today, "Brain infection? Only you Amanda, only you." Plus I started my period. That just made the day even more enjoyable.

Dare to look (warning: these are grodie): One, two, three. Notice how my lips aren't aligned because of the swelling.

On to a lighter note, Chris and I headed down to the El Dorado Nature Reserve and took some shots. For the most part they turned out well. If it wasn't for the freaking LB Grand Prix, I would have headed Downtown. Oh well, next weekend. Those pictures will go up later. I'm too tired to resize them. That and I'm about ready to pass out.
