This is weird.

I have a scratch on my back. Reaching back to figure out why that spot was itchy, my hand encountered a slightly flaky scab. I got Piet to investigate, and he discovered it was a slightly-infected, inch-long scratch a bit to the left of centre between my shoulder blades.

I don't have the foggiest idea how I acquired it.

We cleaned it, polysporined it, and put a bandage on it.

But it's weird. How does one acquire a scratch in a spot one can barely reach, without being aware of it?

Yes, but you see . . I don't have cats. :)

This is a pity. They are warm and fuzzy and purr nicely and you get to blame everything on them. Very useful little beasts. *grins*

I'd get to blame my husband's inability to breathe, and his need for two boxes of tissues per day, on them, too. :)

I like cats, but not enough to ask Piet to get allergy shots when I realized I'd be the one required to clean up after them. I shouldn't be doing that anyway right now, and no one's ever home at our house, so - no kitties for us.
