Where do I even start with this one.....

Oh heya!

Yep..it's been a while. I am sure that some of you are annoyed with my sporatic posts..and that is fair :) Not to make any excuses, as there are many places that have wifi that I could have gone to, but the wifi at the Palace was shit! (yes..I said "was"....we will get there with that story shortly). Let's go over some of the craziness that has been taking place out here in Nelson NZ.

It was totally different in the room with Jess being gone. Jo and I had pushed our beds together to make a giant bed, but I kept getting bitten at night so Dave changed my bed (finally) and then our beds didn't line up properly anymore :( le sad face.

So the bites. After the bed bug incident I was so confused on how I was still getting bitten at night. And I mean BITTEN! There were bites ALL over me. Bites on my face, my neck...then my back and my hands....then on the third morning I woke up they were on my toes! Also, sidebar: I had been feeling really icky at work for those few days. I almost felt hungover...but I had gotten lots of sleep, ate well, and no booze. I was really confused, but sorta sluffed it off.
So the third day of bites I went to Dave...again....and said that something was biting me. He called the lady that had fumigated the room for the bed bugs and she said that there was no way in hell that it would be the bed bugs again. We were very confused. So Dave came down to our room and started to check the bed. I was standing behind him when he pulled the sheet back and in my absolute horror there before us was a huge...massive....spider. Dave's first words out of his mouth were "well that's a white tail spider....they are poisonous".  So you can only imagine how I felt after this. Basically I had been bitten and was being poisoned for those 3 days. That's why I felt so sick at work.

I went into work for my shift and was not feeling well at all. I showed my duty manager my bites and told her what had happened. She was pretty concerned for me and sent me to the pharmacy (or chemist as they call them out here). They gave me some anti histamines and cream and I went home to rest. Sweet...Jesus....

So our room has now had Bed bugs....and a White Tail Spider.....great.

Even though the spider was gone (Crazy Dave put it in a jar and walked around the hostel showing everyone....I am surprised he didn't name it and try and take it to the movies) I didn't sleep well.

So much more had happened...I will keep updating.


Oh...and here is the spider that I was sharing a bed with for 3 days. FML!
