Last night I was invaded by the Arizona Bark Scorpion. Besides nearly squishing him with my big foot, he brought a few other friends with him. Silly me I thought these guys were black/brown like our ugly Florida roaches…but nooooo they are the same freaking color of the carpet. Prior to our uninvited meeting I was just getting ready to doze off into sleepy land, the sounds of the sunshade waking the porch railing is what first drove me out of bed. Thank goodness I thought to turn on the light first, otherwise I’d not only be freaked out but in a lot of pain.
All the amounts of Lavender DoTerra oil couldn’t get me back to sleep, even tried a sleeping pill. My body was amped and of course every little thing I felt had me jumping. 4AM was the last time I looked at the clock. Then up about 0830. Had a great breakfast, did a bunch of work and then thought I’d lay down to take a nap before working out..great plan, minus the fact I woke up at 6:45. I went for a walk around my complex, had dinner, and now back to sleep at 8:30pm. I’m still edgy and I’ve been sporting my “Chucks” since 10:30pm last night..you got it..I’m sleeping in them baby!
Apparently these awesome creatures glow with a black light so in my wide awake state I did a little online shopping and got a light and some Scorpion spray. Should be interesting camping this weekend..I’m sure I’ll be introduced to more of Arizona’s amazing and gross creatures.
Tomorrow is a big day..so extra DoTerra oil and some Arbonne Lavender Spray and hopefully no uninvited guests!
It’s like “Where’s Waldo” they blend in…apparently the smaller the more bang for the sting!
Eeek! And to think I thought little spiders were creepy…
