I have a horrible habit of watching scary documentaries and then imagining ways that that scary thing could happen to me. I made the mistake of watching an AIDS/HIV documentary 5+ years ago and I’m still terrified. 

I’ve had many, many freak outs about this and had my worst one in a while today BUT I’m looking on the bright side as I resisted the urge to google symptoms. 

Basically, what happened was I bought a pair of used shoes online and wore them. Today, I look at the inner ankle area of one of the shoes and there’s a huge stain of what is clearly dried blood.

I look at my ankle and there is no way I was bleeding anywhere, as I’m sure I would have felt it, too. 

Now I’m lying in bed trying my best not to panic or google anything. Sorry for the rant, just had to share my feelings right now.
