Well, it didn't actually go "bump".

In fact, it didn't make any sound at all.

Nothing.

Total silence.

And, no pain.

No "stinging-burning-itching-irritating-painful-sensation" at all.

At least not until two or three days later.  Then everything exploded.  And what began as a tiny red bump became an extremely huge, irritated, painful, red and black volcano.

That was two weeks ago.  This morning, the crater left from the volcano is well on it's way to recovery and after being released by the doctor, I was able to enjoy a very long, hot shower.  After two weeks of sponge-baths.  I hate sponge baths.

The culprit in all of this?  A tiny little critter better known as a Brown Recluse Spider. How or where our paths crossed, I still have no idea.  I'm fairly sure it wasn't outside in the yard nor was it on the patio or in the car.  How can I be sure of this?

Because it bit me on the butt.  I suppose it could have crawled up (or down) inside my pants, but I hope I would have felt that.

If not, I'm signing up for sensitivity training. Soon.
