ok i have to share a story:
on wednesday I got called to a large house fire in the afternoon. This poor family's house was entirely gutted.. i didn't even have to crawl through the burned house because there was only a skeleton left! they were already low-income, and one of the women had bone cancer and her medications had burned in the fire. While i was interviewing her about her medications, i suddenly felt SHARP pains in my legs... like something was biting me. I couldn't say anything because this poor woman was trying to talk to me... but the pain got worse until I had to say "i am soo sorry, i'll be right back!" I jumped into our Red Cross truck and basically had to completely derobe... only to find ANTS all up in my jeans!!
ants in my pants. haha. and very painful.
when i came out of the truck all of the victims were cracking up because they could see the truck shaking from me jumping around in there to try to get all the ants off of me. I was apparently standing on an ant hill.
sigh. at least i provided some comic relief in the midst of tragedy, i suppose.
