ohhh i didn't see the edit on your last entry! glad it's probably not that. you don't have the bullseye rash or anything like that do you? or is it just a fever and such? hope you feel better soon, at any rate.


it's always good to know what species of ticks carry what diseases in your area. here it's the deer ticks that carry lyme, lone star ticks carry rocky mountain spotted fever; where you are, it's sheep ticks that carry lyme.. though from what i've read it really doesn't seem prevalent over there.

well that's a relief. sounds like you should check back with the same doctor in a few weeks though, just to be sure.

Check back with the doctor next week and ask her out and for a referral to another doctor. She cannot date her patient.

yeah, i'm not just going to go off into the great white north by myself. where i'm going is actually a well-established camp and there will people there to teach and help etc.

i'd say so. i've known people who've had very good experiences there, so that helps. and my mom lives just a few hours away in wisconsin if i need to quit for some reason.

oh it's ok. you just want me to be safe, i understand.

i don't know if this makes sense, but as sad as i feel, but i'm not unhappy. don't know how else to say it.

and anyways, it's something i've thought about doing for quite a while. it's not a completely new plan that came out of nowhere. i might not have had the courage to do it before, though.

My sleep pattern is all fucked up. I get between 3 and 9 hours per night.

I don't think we are disagreeing at all!

I have less than a 6-pack per month.

Not so much. Just caught a head cold, and next week I'm traveling - with job stuff on the horizon. So yeah.

(But I'm pretty mended now.)

Good! And better!

GOD did I fuck up in that thread. That joke was a feeble attempt to distract. PHEW!
