Weird Period Day 6

 Got up at 5:30 to go count dead birds. Made it out of bed by 600 (though I didn't really go back to sleep, I was just finding it hard to get out of bed) and was out the door by 6:30. Didn't find any dead birds. Just one more of these to go. Got McDs (I was hungry) and then headed over to the Arboretum for service. We were clearing out garlic mustard and dame's rocket and there were a lot of both. At least it was shady. 

Ate pizza with the ward and then got a ride to the baptism. Baptism was fine, I gave the closing prayer. Went home. Went to the festival. Hung out with people. Ate ice cream (very good) and played cornhole (won one, lost one. But we were making a good comeback at the end and just got unlucky that the other team got 21 perfectly their first try). Went home. 

Found a tick on my chest, which is a weird place for a tick to be. Not sure if I got it while clearing plants or from laying on the grass for 5 minutes at the festival. Probably service but why would it attach there? Looked like an American Dog Tick. Anyway, now I have to wait and see if I get sick in the next few days. It wasn't attached very long (8 hours at most probably) based on the lack of engorgement. I couldn't find tweezers and it was real stubborn getting out. Dental floss didn't work, the cotton swap trick didn't work. Eventually I got it out with my fingers, which is ill-advised but luckily I got the mouthpiece out too (or rather, got the tick out in one piece). Took a little chunk of flesh with it. 

Did the climbing party. Had fun playing random music, didn't climb much since I live here and can use the wall whenever I want. Good food. That went from 7 till after 10. Watched some Alone with roommate. Went up to my room to do this. Will probably watch the second episode of Unicorn Warriors Eternal after this, before finally sleeping.

I spent like 11 hours today with people, so that was pretty exhausting even if I enjoyed it (She was one of the few people I could stand to spend that much time with). Also I'm just tired in general, on account of lack of sleep and high amount of work/energy spent. Will exercise a lot in the next few days again just cause how the holiday weekend works. I'm glad I'm tired when I'm happy (am I happy? I think I am?). Means it's probably genuine happiness. I also made a bit of progress on the question, so yay? At least, I think I did.
