You know that dramatic moment in sci fi movies where the person is on a futuristic operating table, and a person driven to the edge of madness is wielding a scalpel, laughing maniacally as they cut into the poor victim's back and extract a wicked alien looking claw? The music swells and usually, we cut to commercial.
Minus the commercial, this is almost what happened in my kitchen today. I was the patient and Joseph the scalpel wielding madman (the fact that he actually has a doctor's license just enhances the image). His scalpel was a sharp needle . . . and I was on a chair instead of an operating table. Okay, maybe it wasn't EXACTLY like the movies, but I am absolutely positive I heard menacing music playing in the background, and I could swear Joseph was chuckling.
He poked. He prodded . . then he picked up the needle . . . Snicker. Sorry, couldn't resist. The tiny black spot on my back was lifted, as I sat there going ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, (and OF COURSE it is on my RIGHT side) and I heard him say, WHOA.
Whoa?
Then he dashed off for some paper towels.
The tiny little black spot turned out a tad bit larger, hence the "whoa". In fact, after PULLING the damn thing out, Joseph measured it at 1/8 inch. And upon examination, we still do not know what it is. We have had several suggestions and I am still dedicating all of my energy to walling off any suggestions that involve the words "cocoon", and "larva".
It's out. It's healing.
And if they make another "Alien" movie, I will at least be able to better empathize with the actors. Cue maniacal laughter . . .

Ewwww! Sounds like something you hear from someone sailing down the Amazon. Got your letter today and thought I would check out your blog immediately before I forget, AGAIN.
It's me, Tracy from Indiana
Hey Tracy! Thanks for coming by. I agree that this sounds like a Saturday nite creature feature type movie. I still shudder when I think about it.
