What made you miserable today?

I was bitten by a jumping spider! awh, it's awful.. They're poisonous but not deadly, give you really bad joint and muscle pain which i'm definitely feeling, can last up to 4 days.. There's other symptoms like vomiting etc, but I don't have many of them apart from on and off fevers.

Do you have a lot of spiders like that there, Mel? The results of that bite sound awful. Hope you're okay soon.

Yep, lots and lots of spiders like that and worse over this side of the world. No 1 rule always check your shoes before you put them on..... and no putting your hands down dark holes and wood piles

Hope you feel better very soon Mel.

LIfe is safer around here - the only thing making me miserable today is the 36 degree (F) weather and damp rainy day.

Thanks guys, I'm already feeling better.
That same day my friend lifted up some firewood to just escape the bite of a red belly black snake hahah!
Crazy Australia. We live in the outback more than a city or town haha.

Just watching the reports coming in from Boston - absolutely awful. My deepest sympathy to everyone there

Couldn't believe it. I turned on the tv this pm and was immediately hit by the bombings in Boston. So sad for the people in the marathon and those who came to watch.

Yes, this is awful.

Horrible scenes on the TV from Boston, all too familiar cowardly acts causing pain and suffering.

There are nice people here, I promise.

OK, so my mother always said the weather was a nice safe topic.
It has been raining really hard all day and it is getting chilly again so that is miserable.
Although actually we had a bad drought last summer so we needed this, because to tell the truth there wasn't a lot of corn here last year.
