Damn You Cactus! pt. 2

Monday, April 16th, 2007 | Life

Part 2?  Where is part 1?  I wrote that in my mind nearly a week ago… geeze, pay attention will ya!

So as I was telling you in part 1, I was a bit over zealous going down South Mountain and slid into a cactus.  Today I noticed bumps on my legs and fingers from that experience still so I decided to stick it to the same mountain and conquer it so that It could no longer torture me.  So I went to the mountain and went straight up it.  On the way up I only once touched a cactus and that was just on my middle finger while gripping a rock….   Hmm… yeah…

Well I got to the top of the mountain and decided to go down the trail.  This would do 2 things.  1) My shoes suck for climbing down a steep hill.  They are thin, have no traction and are very flexible.  Great for running, but not climbing.  2) It was much further to go down the path.  The path leads away from my house and in going that way I would also have to go back once I got to the ground.

So I did that.  I figure by being “big enough” to not need to go after the same original path the fudged up my leg, I am there4 beating it, since I am no longer concerned with getting revenge against a cactus. 

Of course now that I am back I can say that my leg really is messed up.  I have lots of little itchy bumps on it.  I haven’t scratched them at all but it has not gone away in over a week.  If anything it has become more noticeable which is very annoying.  Oh well, I don’t think a cactus is poisonous so they will go away eventually.
