Ticks/ Baby sweaters mailed./ No Africa.

disgusting tick detached

Yesterday while driving in the car I touched my hair for no particular reason and suddenly felt this small bump . Damn- I knew it was a gross tick and sped another half hour home knowing that sucker was attached to my head. The Boy was not home so I had to get 2 mirrors to be able to actually see it and pluck it out. Ticks totally gross me out - it makes me sick just thinking of them. I was gardening yesterday or possibly it came from the Pugs although they use Frontline religiously. I need some to put on me too.




Good news besides the tick dilemma . I am happy to report the baby sweaters for my nephew's twins were mailed out today! Twins

Bitter-sweet news this morning we called and cancelled our trip to Africa. First of all -they messed up our flights having my husband and I travel on different airlines at different times. They had me going from Newark to Dulles and then back to Boston then go to Amsterdam while my husband would get a direct flight from Newark. This is absolutely crazy considering that the cost of this trip could buy a car ( good used one).
Secondly- all the Us Government travel to Kenya advisories are scaring me half to death.
So we are not going and I am losing more than a $1,200 but hope the rest is refunded in travel vouchers/ cash of balance. We have forms to fill out and the Red Tape will be complicated. Still, I am relieved .

Sorry about your trip. But I think better safe than sorry. I remember when I was a kid a classmate had a tick on his ear and they had to burn it off with a match. Yuck! And double yuck!
