This morning we were sitting in devotions and everyone was going around saying what their best and worst moments were from these past two weeks. Finally it gets to me, I begin with my worst which for me was the homesickness. Just missing Steve, friends, family, comforts, my bed.. etc. Then as I was saying that my best was trying new things that I wouldn't/couldn't in Canada I get bit by this bug. In the middle of my sentence I throw my bible off my lap, rip my croc (one of my shoes) off, yelp, and grab my second toe. Everyone is surprised, and I just burst into tears. It hurt so bad. But honestly it was the most random thing in my life. I am sitting in my room now. Just running over the events. It was the most random thing of my entire life. So anyways, after I freak out, Lily, the director's wife (sweetest lady ever) takes me into the kitchen and gives me a cloth and ice. We figure that it was a wasp who figured my crocs were a nice home because of the holes on top. I remember seeing a red, flying bug, a little longer than my thumb nail, and it landed on my shoe. A moment later I look back at it, only to see in crawling in one of the holes and biting me. Oh my goodness, I can't even explain how much it hurt. It was a sharp shooting pain. Everyone was so shocked when I actually burst into tears, full out, wow it hurt. Lily thinks its wasp, but she told me that if it was a red ant that it would hurt all day and swell up. Apparently a bite from those is as bad as a scorpions sting. She has had that twice, her arm and toe, swelled up and hurt all day. The red ant is a lot bigger though, they have regular red ants that bite as well, but that only hurts for a second. Anywho, walking how was a pain in the butt because every step felt like I was being bitten again. Twice I actually ripped off my shoe because I thought it was happening again. Everyone has been asking if I'm alright, Mr. K is worried because he thinks that its the red ant. Maybe I should tell him. :S haha maybe later. Now that its pretty much over I can laugh because that honestly was the most random event of my life. It could have bitten me before my turn came. It could have bitten someone else. It could have bitten me after. It had to bite me right when my turn came, right when I was about to talk about the good. And if anyone is still interested, as I said earlier the best was trying new things that I wouldn't/couldn't in Canada such as swimming in a pitch black cave, tarantula hunting, jumping in foreign water after one a few second thoughts, etc. For those who know me, they know that I am not the adventurous type... till now. Lol. Peace out peeps. This damsel in distress needs to lie down.
