So i haven't slept at home in three days. THREE.
And it's not because me and Sufjan Stevens have finally shacked up. Of course not. Instead, my aunt (yes the one who kicked me out of her house a year and a half ago) needs me to babysit my lovely and adorable cousin during the evenings while she works a Midnight-8 shift at her job this week.
While I love spending time with my cousin Michelle, I do not miss living with my aunt. The last three days have been hell. Though our relationship is much better than it was a some months ago, her house is not my home and I have not adjusted to being in that house again. Even though my stay in temporary (tomorrow will be my last day house/babysitting) I can not get over house unfamiliar everything is. How I don't fit into the space there.
I've slept a total of 12 hours in the last 72 hours and I now have a disgusting spider bite on my arm which I recieved while sleeping on my aunt's couch. The bite is bad. It's like my arm is giving birth to another arm. I came into work today and people were mortified by it. Everyone gave suggestions ('gurl you need to see a doctor' was my favorite) and then supplied me with drugs (the legal kind) before staring at the bite in disgust again.
The general consensus is that I need to see a doctor because clearly the bite on my arm is not normal...at all. It's fucking huge!
So not only am I irriated, drowsy, and giving birth to a mutant side arm but I have another night at my aunts house to bear. I stopped home first (big mistake) to take a shower, get some fresh clothes and hug my bed but now I am off to another night where the bugs will no doubt violate me in my sleep.
I think I am most irritated that she knows she can ask me to sleepover and watch michelle because I don't have anything else going on. That I am always the girl with the free time. And don't get me wrong I love being around my cousin but by the time I even get to the house she is asleep and I am sitting alone in the living room frustrated with being there.
Le sigh. I can't wait til things get back to normal. I need my sanity back. I need a propers days rest in my own damn bed.

Alrighty, I'm going to put on my Mom Hat, which I rarely do: go to the doctor. If you can't go to a doctor-doctor, go to one of those clinics that they have at places like Walgreen's, or to an urgent care that isn't too expensive. You'll probably need antibiotics. This isn't an OMG END OF THE WORLD situation, but Mom Hat says: get someone to look at it and give you some drugs to clear it up.
/lecture :)
Ha! Mom Hat advice is always awesome :)
The swelling has gone down some (when I say it was huge, I'm talking you could see the bump protruding from my long sleeve shirt. my boss almost threw up). I took some benadryl(sp) and anti itch medicine last.
It looks a lot better today but I've been told to keep a close eye on it. I've never seen so many mortified faces when they saw my arm. It was funny and kind of scary.
