For the record, I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow (even though I have to dip into savings now. Grrr.)

I fear I've been bitten by the much-feared brown recluse. I didn't think much of it at first, but it keeps getting worse. You know how your back feels when you sit in an uncomfortable chair for way too many hours? No matter how you adjust yourself, the discomfort has become inescapable. My whole body feels like that on Gradius hard mode. I feel like I just slept on a pile of cannonballs for two weeks. There's the muscle aches, dizziness, chills, loss of appetite (seriously, there's pizza on my plate that I just couldn't finish. Pizza!) I'll spare you the gory imagery, but if you're morbidly curious, do an image search of "brown recluse bite." It looks like one of the less extreme images. I don't have an oozing zombie leg, thankfully. In all likelihood this was a very mild bite with very little venom being injected, which leaves me in awe at how potent these tiny critters can be. Honestly, I would rather have been bitten by a large dog. Today is buns. I just feel off, like I've gotten nothing but bad RNG in this Sunday any% run. I don't know what I'm saying. Thank you for reading. I'm certain I'll be just fine and I'm doing my best to stay in high spirits.

TL;DR - Be mindful of the other creatures who share this planet, because they can and will ruin your day.
