Ow, and OW AGAIN

[wordinista]

So a 33 year-long streak ended yesterday.

I got my first bee sting. Hornet, actually -- if you want to get technical. I was wrestling the walrus giving Sydney her bath, and felt something tangled in some of the fur underneath her body, by her hind leg. It felt like a leaf or something caught in the fur, so I pulled it out.

AND PROMPTLY GOT STUNG. TWICE. ON MY FINGERTIP. UNGRATEFUL LITTLE STRIPED BASTARD.

Needless to say, Mr. Hornet was not long for this world after that.

Aaaand now I need to stop screwing around on the internet and start working on being something remotely resembling productive.

Shockingly, it didn't swell too badly! Possibly because I was washing the dog at the time, and had no shortage of cold water to put on it. Really, it didn't even hurt for very long afterward. (I wonder if the fact that I was washing Syd with an antibiotic shampoo had something to do with this...)

Nah. You're probably just not allergic. My husband is like that. But I run from bees and the like because I can ice such stings and knock myself out with Benedryl and still swell to Shrek proportions.
