In the beginning of July this year, i was able to go on a missions trip to Seattle Washington with a youth group i attend. The second day into the trip, we were in Vancouver BC. As a group outing we thought it would be great to go to the ocean and wade around. So we had a great time wading way out into the ocean as it was low tide, chasing crabs, finding shells and whatnot. It was a great day! but much to my discontent, three days later, i started to develop big itchy red bumps on my legs from the knee down! Also known as swimmers itch. Now, one thing about swimmers itch is it's only supposed to last for a week at the longest. So i was a little relieved thinking it would go away in a week. After all, they were about the size of quarters and unbelievably itchy! anyways, Here i am, on November first with these ridiculous swimmers itch bites on my legs still! Why didn't i go to the doctor's you ask? oh but i did! about a month ago! that's the funny part of my story. So i was sitting in the doctor's office that day waiting to get these bites or whatever checked out. When the doctor gave me my prescription, i went to the pharmacy next door and handed the pharmacist my paper. He looked at it, looked at me, gave me a really strange looked and asked "Is this for you?" and i looked at him a bit puzzled and told him that it was. And he said "Okay, i was just wondering because...it's also known as diaper rash creme." Talk about embarrassing! I found myself trying to explain to someone my swimmers itch, whom I'm pretty sure only thought that i made up the story to try to cover up my embarrassment. I hope it'll be a long while before i have to go in there again that's for sure!
So that's my opening story for this blog! as for something to close with? not a whole lot to really say! Toodles!
