I was watching a TV show where a psychic medium said that the personalities of people stay the same even after they cross over. Ouch. I was hoping the suckiness of my circumstances contributed to my awful personality, but now it looks like it may be organic. I guess I won’t be able to stand my own company in the next world either.

Really? You’re taking life advice from TV shows?

My poor puppies. They have been so bored lately…only getting into trouble inside my head instead of on paper.
It’s my fault the puppies are so bored. I ended up getting Lyme disease again, and it totally wrecked my summer. I was surprised to find out I had it because my symptoms didn’t match the warning signs you are supposed to watch out for. Plus, the blasted tick was only on me for a few minutes. My understanding was that you couldn’t catch the disease in that short of a period of time. Well, it looks like you can if you’re immunocompromised.
When the doctor told me she thought I had Lyme, I said I was surprised. I told her this didn’t feel anything like it did the last time. She asked what it felt like last time. When I told her, her eyes got big, and she looked noticeably taken aback. “Wow,” she said, “you had a really bad case last time.” (Ha! I knew it. I knew I was sick even if no one wanted to take me seriously!)
I’ve been taking medication for the past several weeks, but I still have a bit to go. These antibiotics are so hard on me I feel like I might not make it to the end of the treatment. If you don’t hear from us for a while, it’s because the boys are keeping me company while I whine to them about how lousy I feel.
Better you than me!
You’re right, little puppy. Much better me than you.

The other night I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep. Suddenly there was a thump and a bump from under my bed. Rather than being afraid, it made me smile. I had forgotten that when Geordie would sleep under the bed, he would bonk his head as he moved around. My little boy had come to visit and had given me exactly what I needed to find peace.
Thank you, stinky man.

Shh…you’re not supposed to see me!

I apologize if any of you were eating when you opened this. (Eww! Gross old lady legs!)
I use Bitey Dog as sort of a personal journal. This post is for myself so later I can look back and remember what this stupid tick bite was like.
What does it feel like? It is like having a deep tissue bruise on top of a giant mosquito bite. When I’m reclining it feels better. Standing makes it ache. It nearly always itches. Heat makes everything much worse. (Hard to avoid heat in the summer! 😆)
Why don’t I take antihistamines? There are very few antihistamines I can take. When I’ve tried them in the past, they made me sleepy and gave me dry mouth, but they didn’t really affect the allergic reaction.
What about steroids? Topical ones make things worse (increased itching). I don’t know about oral steroids. There are none that I can take because they all contain corn.
Would you get that thing out of my face already?!? I told you how we dogs feel about ticks.
Years ago I was bitten by several spiders. If I remember correctly, it took around eight weeks for the symptoms to fade. It looks like I have close to three weeks more of this to go. ☹️.
I wish I could use my experience to pressure pharma companies to diversify the bases for products. I know I’m not the only person in a situation where we would likely benefit from medication but can’t take it.
It’s tough to take a picture of the back of your leg.
About 3 1/2 weeks ago I was bitten by a tick. Since then the bite has been itchy and red like a huge mosquito bite. I feel sure I’m fine because I got the tick off minutes after it attached, but still, it’s miserable.
It makes me wonder. Back when I was bitten by a tick and developed Lyme Disease, how on earth did I miss something this big and red and itchy? I never suspected I had the disease because I was unaware I’d been used as a dinner service by a gross insect.
Just keep that thing away from me, will ya? Dogs really don’t like the “T” word.
For some reason I am especially fond of hoarding failure.

After my last post I got a notice from WP telling me that it was my 1,000th post. I wish I had realized that and made it more festive!
Festive or otherwise, biscuits are the only suitable things to hoard.
