and got bit on the shoulder.
weird because i came in from the studio and said something to Noel
about how we need to clear out the black widow webs on the basement steps.
it's so lucky it didn't bite Ursen, he was sleeping next to me.
brutally painful. childbirth being ten, this is a strong eight/nine.
tried to meditate on the pain, i can see how people get good at it,
i think if you meditate a lot you could probably turn on a switch,
the pain could be a neutral. you'd have to be in the habbit.
anyway i couldn't sit still long enough. drugs, a new cloud.
i always feel mushy at the hospital, ER professional helpers,
except the occasional burn out cranky helper.
ursen working the crowd in his jammies.
SPIDER FACTS FOR YOU i will share while i am still fixated:
the female doesn't usually kill the mate after mating, just sometimes.
black widow and brown recluse are the two most poisonous spiders in north america.
hardly anyone dies from bw bites.
the venom is way stronger than rattlesnake venom but spiders can't inject much into you.
there's an antivenin (why isn't it called anti venom? but it's not)
made from horse serum (?) but it's not given to healthy adults because it's too risky and
usually the bite isn't life threatening to healthy adults.
kids and old people are most vulnerable.
it can hurt for two or three days, weeks, months, but the bite itself doesn't hurt.
& doesn't swell up much.
