I've got a booboo!  :(  

Last night I managed to scratch my shin pretty badly with a nail. A rusty nail. It hurt at the time and bled for a while, but I sort of forgot about it by this morning.  Until I managed to bang it against the tub, and then I went off to get peroxide and bandages.  I just called my Mom about it, because hey, isn't there a shot you're supposed to get if you're cut by a rusty piece of metal?  Eep.  Mom said keep an eye on it for any weird swelling and redness, and if it's causing any problems by the morning, then head on over to the clinic.  I might just call Health Links in the morning anyways and see what they say.

I hope I don't have to get a shot, because omg shots, and also I'm supposed to go to the Quilt Show tomorrow.  I don't want to be sitting in a clinic for hours instead, waiting to be stabbed by another piece of metal.  *grumps*

Am having a gross convo with a couple of peeps on twitter about ghetto bugs (aka house centipedes).  I'd post a link to a pic, but they are seriously disgusting and I'll leave you to google it yourself (but trust me don't do it, because ew).

Man, that is one think I do not miss from living in Kingston, because warm southern Canadian climate + short winters + basement apartment meant lots of ghetto bugs and giant-ass spiders!  *eebie jeebie dance of horror*

Seriously, I had random big books stashed in stratigetic places so that if I saw one of these bastards, I could drop a book on it.  I bought those book specifically for killing creepy crawley things!

Although I was proud of myself.  I had a deal with the little spiders (because basement apartment; there's going to be spiders).  If they stayed in the corners of the room and left me alone, I wouldn't smoosh them. And if I happened to sweep one up which cleaning, I'd give him a little nudge toward the walls with my broom.  It worked out well, because these guys ate the other little bugs that would invade my apartment. Except the ghetto bugs and giant red spiders: I think my little spider friends hid from those fuckers.

Not that I blame them.
