So here I am at home, casually going about my own business and working on thesis stuff... I decided that I was happy *enough* with the conclusion I wrote last night and have moved on to making corrections in my earlier chapters from Carl's comments.
Suddenly, I hear a little 'click' as something fall on to my keyboard from somewhere... The ceiling? Maybe? I look at it more closely and... it s a *tick*!!! There was a tick in my house, on my ceiling and if it had slightly better aim it could have fallen on my head! I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
I don't like ticks, but I can handle them if I expect them. I did not expect a tick on my keyboard and now I'm all paranoid about where it came from, and that maybe there are other ticks in my ceiling and they will find a way to get me. Hooray for irrationality!
I am going to make some lunch. And check for ticks.
(PS it was a dog tick, For The Google Tells Me So.)

I can't handle ticks. Our riding instructor in jamaica used to pull them off the horses. I may have had to do it also when grooming them, I can't clearly remember. I think I blocked it out.
I sometimes have to pull them off Smudge, but very rarely. Thank god.

When I got back from my little holiday at Christmas, I was met by a "Head lice!" at work. We actually had to send three kids home. Yuck. I was scratching my head for weeks.
