My Actifit Report Card: August 5 2026

Hey Actifitters,

Yesterday didn't go as planned at all! It started normally with a busy day at work. But in the afternoon, I was taking a short break with an espresso in front of the TV, all good so far. My leg was itchy, so naturally I scratched without paying attention. But I ended up with a tiny black thing on my finger. When I took a zoomed in photo, I realized it was a tick! And in Michigan, the quantity of infected deer is significant, including with Lyme disease. It didn't look like it burrowed itself deep, just on the top of the skin, which is why it came off just by scratching. So probably no big deal. But just in case, I quickly went to urgent care. They checked it and confirmed it was probably fine but also prescribed an antibiotics, to reduce the chances of infections even further. So, in the end, probably no harm, but it wasted quite a few hours. As if I wasn't late enough in preparing my trip!
Of course, with all that, it was dark when we went for a short walk with Kaia.

After the tick episode, I really didn't feel like going in the forest, so after Kaia went in by herself for a few minutes, we went into the neighborhood instead. That doesn't mean we didn't see wildlife. This deer with her two fawns was pretty cool. I hope it's not the same one I saw a few days ago, because that previous one had 3 fawns in tow, not two.

Once again, in total darkness, it's pretty challenging to snap photos of wild animal in motion. But a few ones turned out okay.

Since we didn't really walk in the forest, we walked a bit more in the streets.

Back home, we finally found Le Chat just relaxing as usual. Seems my light was a bit too bright for her little eyes.

And that was it. After that my body kind of shut down and I was in bed before 2am for the first time in ages! Cleaning the house will have to wait again...
As always, thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow.
