Traumatized again....
My PTMJCSD flared again today. I was sitting outside the laundrymat waiting for my clothes to dry, quietly reading a book on solar electric homes. Across the table sat a young man, also reading, when a moving object entered my field of vision. My brain first processed it as a mouse, and I screamed and picked my feet up off the ground. I focused in on it and realized it was some sort of salamander or lizard or something, as the young man asked me if I'd been bitten. I said "no, there's something under the table". He looked down, and said "oh, it's a lizard!" in the tone of voice that told me he thought it was cute. Resisting the urge to squint at him like he was some kind of icky boy, I confessed that I'd thought it was a mouse at first, then put my feet up on the legs of the table and my head back down in my book, and pretended I wasn't embarrassed.

You would never make it in South Florida.

I think I could peacefully co-exist with nature if it didn't make any sudden moves!
