When credit is due…

Maybe in the past I might have been just a teensy bit critical of USCIS.  But I’ve got to say that today I’m loving them.  I just made a run to get fingerprintted (is that a word?) and door to door it took me an hour.  And I don’t work anywhere near their office in San Jose.  When I had to do this before, they were just as efficient.  Love that office.  So there.  I just proved that I’m not entirely anti-CIS.  Now I’m off to tell my local CIS office to look out for my print results and that I need to switch countries.

Now, I have a question for you.  I have a ton of little bites on me.  They feel like mosquito bites, but they don’t really look like them.  They’re tiny, but they’re incredibly itchy.  I have them from my ankles up into my scalp.  The only place I can imagine I got them was at this little playground I took Oscar to on our way back from music class.  There was some sand that I stood in to push him on the swing.   He has no bites (and he wasn’t standing in the sand).  We have a playground near our house and I’ve never been bitten like this.  Is this normal?

  1. Are the chigger bites? Usually those come from grass but who knows. I’ve heard that taking a dip in chlorinated water gets rid of them right away which would be the easiest if they’re all over. Just thinking about bites all over me makes me itch!

  2. sounds like chiggers or fleas. paint over a few of them with clear nail polish and see if that helps.

  3. Thanks for responding! Turns out they weren’t bites at all – it was a viral rash. Yuck. Better than chigger bites, I think, though.
