Uncomfortable moment....

Heavens! What does one say about the skink in their underpants?

I was out in the garden and realized that....something was going on in my pants. My immediate suspicion was a spider.....a biiiiggg spider. It's not exactly like I'd be comfortable stripping outside, so I hustled back indoors, jogged to the bathroom and dropped trou.....dumping a very confused 4-5 inch long skink onto my bathroom floor in the process.

Once I wrangled the skink and got him back outdoors, it was time to cook lunch. But I assure you, a shower is in the offing later.

I had the same thought. I once had a hornet in my pants. I was stung 14 times. I was kept home from school, sick as a dog, for three days. A year or so later, I was in the nurse's office and noticed a note taped to the wall with my name on it, to the effect if I ever got stung, they must call the ambulance. The nearly fatal sting didn't happen for another two years, though.

I'd much rather have a skink. Not that that's an option here, where the forecast for Wednesday contains the S-word, daffodils not withstanding.

Skinks are far more benign...

It wasn't fun, not at all.
