The real lights can make you heavy, but never really empty.

Before 9 am this morning I found myself bundling Aislin up barefoot and tossing her in the car to run her over to my mom's for an emergency "mom look at this; what is wrong?" session.

When I saw her this morning, Aislin's leg was completely covered in ALOT of blood. I would guess that it had been bleeding all night long as some of it was so thick and caked on that it was nearly black. There are bloody footprints all over the bathroom and her sheets are covered in blood, too. After 30 minutes of trying to stop the bleeding we ran to my mom's.

Mosquito bite, my ass.

As far as I can tell it is still oozing blood. My mom said that the pressure had built up so much that the wound is draining itself. She said there is no way it could be a mosquito bite and it is most definitely a spider bite of some sort. Even she was leaning towards the Brown Recluse angle. It has been exactly a week since she got bit and I would have thought that if it was indeed a brown recluse bite that it would have started ulcerating by now. She told me that a friend of her's was bit and it was over two weeks before her wound was bad enough to go to the doctor and that Aislin's looks similar. She cleaned it up with polysporin and guaze which absorbs more blood than a band-aid. Need to remember to change the bandage twice a day...

Otherwise things are eerily quiet here. Everyone is off in their own space doing their own thing. It's refreshing. Going to get a few more household things done today and perhaps a bit of rearranging. Was looking for a tv on craigslist today and found a few potential bargains but they all ended up being located in Davis. After I pay for the gas the tv's aren't cheap anymore. I don't really need a tv, but I need to do something with this fucking entertainment center that has been sitting in a corner of my bedroom for months now. It's fucking up my feng shui.

Almost done uploading all the photo albums.

Sorry to hear that she is so much pain. I certainly hope it's not a brown recluse bite, but if it is you should demand to see a doctor about it immediately.

Glad you have some peace right now...
