i've been gardening in the jungle. the jungle in my backyard.
apparently, since it's like always warm here and there is no winter season, all the bugs have had a chance to adapt and mutate and develop defense mechanisms which enable them to prolong life indefinitely.
which means, i must protect myself from very old, very poisonous bugs in my knee-high grass.
and that's difficult to do when you must clip the grass blade-by-blade with hand scissors. (no, really, that's how jungle grass is cut. I'm thinking, though, that I might prefer a machete.)
ya, so, a bug got me yesterday, and now i have a very itchy, very swollen left foot.

Hi Katie,
Bugs! Yikes! I hate bugs crawling on me. I hope you're almost done with your yardwork. Sounds like long tedious work- or is it relaxing like gardening here is (or at least is supposed to be!). Hope the foot is better.
Helen
