7 day itch

Ah yes another Monday. I regret to inform you that today I have nothing. It is sad. I sit before you and stare, yet nothing funny, freaky or the least bit creative is flowing. Instead I will bore you with current events.

This weekend Mike decided that he would take advantage of the recent nice weather and head out into the forest for some alone time and set up camp some where in the great state of Michigan. Now Mike is not the guy who takes a lot when he camps, nor does he utilize the posted, public campgrounds. No Mike likes to venture. To go beyond the paved road and put his four wheel drive skills to use and head out where no man has been. At least this is the theory. So away he went and did find that spot in the great state of Michigan where the road ended but the adventure in him did not. Mike set up camp, built his fire and enjoyed that which is nature. Mike being the woodsman he is however managed to find himself with a case of poison ivy or poison oak, not sure, but it itches all the same. It is not so much that he was exposed to it, but where (Note to self, always pack TP).
Mike also for the first time in his life “Trusted” the local weather dude and found himself in a major “Thunder and Lightning” storm at and around eleven thirty at night. Not the typical one where you count the seconds after hearing the Thunder to determine how far away the Lightning would strike. The kind where you actually saw the Lightning hit before the Thunder ever sounded. Then there was the rain. Mike’s trusty “Water Proof” tent turned out to be not so water proof. Needless to say Mike scrambled for the vehicle and spent an uncomfortable night trying to sleep.

Sunday I did head to the Pharmacy to get the lotion recommended to me and tested by “Pooter” (The hot little belly to the left) and I was lucky enough to have a friend come over (A gorgeous female “friend”, but that is another story) and apply the said lotion to the itch. She also took me to dinner. So it didn’t turn out all bad.
And last but not least, today I went home for lunch and noticed that I have new neighbors. Two women were moving into the apartment next door. I only saw the one, but let’s just say I hope that they run out of sugar and come over to borrow some, soon!
Peace Out Homies
