May 15, 2026 Monday I noticed an itchy spot on my upper back. By Tuesday, there was a hard bump where I’d been scratching it. Wednesday it was still itchy, and because of the bump I had Lisa take a look at it. Turns out it was a tick bite. It also had a red circle around it a little bigger than a quarter. I knew that wasn’t a good sign, so I made a doctor’s appointment. I went this morning and the doctor said Lisa did get the tick out, but the bite is now infected. So now I’m on a two-week round of antibiotics to clear it up. We have a lot of deer ticks around our property, so I’m usually pretty conscious of them, especially when I’m working outside. Most of the time I notice them right away and get them off before they become a problem, but I missed this one. Hate those little fuckers.
