Starting May off not feeling too great, I'm having
some kind of stomach problem and have been nauseous
and tired for the last four days. I'm pretty sure
it's NOT the swine flu. I was expecting a friend from
Japan to come for a visit but she cancelled her plans
because of concerns about catching the flu. I'm very
disappointed but I understand.
The bugs are starting to come out in my small apartment. I saw a house centipede in my bathroom which is the relatively harmless cousin to the Japanese centipede which I've seen in my house in Japan. The Japanese centipede is much scarier and more like a poisonous snake. I didn't actually know what it was when I saw it but googled centipede iowa to see what would come up and this picture from Iowa State University, which is just down the road from me, popped right up. I have not told my daughter about seeing this bug, she would freak out so if she reads this.... sorry sweet potato. I only saw it once.

I will be returning to Japan this summer and am not looking forward to seeing and killing this bug which I most certainly will have to do. It's me or them.
I have had a bug bite on my leg for about a month, it doesn't seem to be going away. I'm assuming it's a spider bite since I have a lot of spiders in my apartment. The red rash around it does seem to be lightening a bit.
Spider bite???
I went out and bought a can of bug spray appropriately called "Spider Killer". I was amused because it also kills Scorpions, thank god we don't have any of those in Iowa. Is that a picture of a dead Spider or Scorpion on the can?
