Hello, I live in the tri cities area and i went on a walk in the McNary Wildlife Refuge thats located in Burbank. I came home for hours and then went out again and on my way back home I noticed a tick walking on me in the car. I googled up the most common ticks in the tri cities area and came to the conclusion that I believe it was an adult male dog tick. Definitely not sure, im not an expert, but thats what it most looked like. I grabbed it and threw it out the window which might not have been the correct order of action as I see most of you made sure to kill them but i did it in a state of panic. Im worried, is there a possibility it bit me? There was no others on me but I'm worried I missed one. I took a hot shower and washed my hair and didnt see any but I'm still a bit paranoid. It was walking, it wasnt attached, and i dont see any bumps or nothing on me. Advice? Thoughts? Thank you

I was recently baptized, have only ever had one confession (about a week or two after my baptism) I was ashamed to have committed a mortal sin so soon after my baptism. I plan on going to confession this Saturday. But I feel as if I'm not spiritually ready. I have a very busy day that day, I know I should put the Lord first above all but that day is busy. I feel that I won't be in the right place to truly focus on this confession. Would it be wrong to seriously focus on prayer, reading the bible more, and avoiding sin as much as possible until next week, while abstaining from receiving the eucharist this Sunday? Or should I suck it up and do it this Saturday. I seriously want to stop this sin, but I don't want to rush the confession if that makes sense. I am not using this as an excuse to commit the sin of presumption, as I intend to (hopefully by the Grace of God) avoid committing this sin for good starting now. Please help.
