So here's an interesting thing, you guys remember me complaining about my calloused heels? Well, last night, they served a great purpose. You see, I decided to sit in my doorway to take a phone call and unknowingly, my calloused heel accidentally brushes past a black widow web and the little fucker bites me (I saw this too...)! So no really concerned, I get up and get a glass of water and call 911 and have a little time to IM people while the paramedics get to my house (mind you, all the while, I can see the flesh on my hell turn this dark purple hue). Well, the medics give me this antivenom and monitor my vitals and I get into the hospital and the doctor tells me that the callous actually slowed down the flow of venom into my blood stream. Funny how things work like that. I mean, I could have been in far worse shape than having only a bandaged up foot and a little (okay, a lot) of pain. All I gotta say is thank god for callouses!

yes, we have AC at work... and then i leave and go for a six mile bike ride and finally end up in my hot apartment... even the plumbing is hot, it takes about 10 minutes of running water to get cold!
