ITCH ITCH ITCH

Notice that was with an "I" not a "B". Problem is, I have hives all over my body. I took a Benadryl as soon as I got home, but that doesn't help me at work because they put me to sleep. I think my body has revolted. I've been in almost constant pain for the last four years, endured sciatica injections, physical therapy, chiropractors, pain pills and epidurals.

If that isn't enough, I'm having to do the work of three people (I'm too stupid to say no), writing a book or I should say editing a book, and reading five books at one time (I even read at stop lights.) And let's not forget my Master Gardening class on Mondays. The heat is on at work to get the store in Biloxi, MS and Beaumont, TX reopened. And I have three revisions on other stores waiting for me. That's not including the 51 cost tracking reports I have to do the fifteenth of every month.

I was a little ticked this afternoon when I asked if one of my co-workers could help me out a little. They were both too busy. Next time they ask me to take one of their projects...I'll probably just say yes. I told you I was too stupid to say no.

Worse yet, I haven't been able to blog or check anyone else's. I'm being deprived.

I think the real clincher was that stupid fund raiser Saturday night. It was a whole bunch of phonies parading around trying to look important. The young ones reminded me of one of Karyn's characters (I'm so rich and beautiful). The old ones wandered around trying to look like the young ones. I've never seen so much makeup in one place.

On another note, some of you may remember me saying I pulled two dead rats out of the garden pond back in July. Well, I was sitting in the family room the other day when I saw one at the bird feeder. Jimbob called Terminex and they supposedly came out (while we weren't home) and baited and old trap.

A few days later I saw first one rat going up the side of the house and a short time later two more. Jiimbob called Terminex again and they reluctantly sent a man out four days later. This guy swore the damage we had in the garage was from a rabbit. At Jimbob's insistence, he finally set numerous traps in the garage and attic. The first day we caught 7, the next day seven more. Six adults and 8 babies. If we hadn't killeed them, before long there would have been thousands.

Oh well, I think I'll take my hive covered derrier and go sit on something soft.
