Spring Break is in full swing. I’ve been doing a little reading, but now that weather has turned a bit rainy I hope to get more reading in. You know how it is when it’s sunny… you just can’t get any reading in.
Of course when I was younger I could lay on the beach all day with a book in my hand, but I certainly can’t do that now. The Boy and The Girl won’t let me. They are “see and do” types and get really antsy if I am just sitting there reading.
On another note…
At about 1am this morning, I woke to a very large bug on my face. I am not squeamish but when there is something of weight, sitting on your chin, and you are half asleep, you tend to lose it a little bit. I knocked it off and then couldn’t find it (which did not comfort me). The Otter Pup came to my rescue but then ran away with her tail between her legs so I am thinking it was a rather large bug. All I know is that it had a shell. Ick.
I am going to take a break from the bugs and spend the night reading. I brought a tall stack of books with me (some dystopian, some literary fiction) and will make camp in the large recliner. We’ll see how my forty-something body reacts to a night in a recliner.

That sounds like a palmetto bug, which inhabit the South. Those suckers are huge and they can fly.
How utterly creepy! Don’t blame you for sleeping in the recliner!
Aaaacccck!!! Oh my, that would have totally freaked me out! I would be sleeping in the chair for a while. lol.
I’m sorry I couldn’t help but LOL. But I know how you feel. We have these huge bugs called water bugs that come out in damp weather. I can’t stand those things. I cannot rest until I find that sucker.
That would have done some serious damage to my psyche. Maybe a palmetto, maybe a beetle. Whatever bug, it is bad. I have nightmares about bugs crawling on me, never mind reality. How horrible. Hope you get more satisfying reading done than I did during Spring Break!
I was once woken up when a bee stung me. Nowmim going to have nightmares about your bug!!!
It’s Spring Break here too and the weather has been horrible so I’ve actually been able to read a lot!! Hopefully the bugs stay away!!
Enjoy the rest of your time 😀
Okay…I thought they just had big hard shelled bugs that invaded your home in FL and down South?? Ewww Hope you sleep better tonight.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That would totally creep me out!
Other than the bug experience… I hope you are enjoying spring break.
I haven’t read at all this week… I’m looking forward to curling up on the sofa and finished Sweet Relief this weekend.
Enjoy!
Oh my goodness that is horrific! I had that happen once with a large spider and it still makes my skin crawl to think about it.
How creepy! I remember having a spider drop in on me at night! Almost had a heart attack although I didn’t know what the critter actually was until morning when I saw its body. Horrid experience. Hope you enjoyed your books.
Ohhhhh my gosh. My neighbors would have had to call the police if that had happened to me because I would have been screaming so loud.
Here’s hoping for a good reading, comfortable reclining, no bug night. 🙂
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww! I just got the heebie-jeebies reading that.
My very close to big 4 body surely can’t take a night in a recliner very good. I hope you have a productive reading night though!
I’m not scare of bugs, but I’m frighten of lizards!
