Current mood:  cranky
Category: Pets and Animals

This morning as I was making coffee, I look out and there's Raul holding the pressure washer nossle, talking on his cell phone. I then realise that today is the day they're going to start prepping the condo for painting. I run upstairs throw on some shorts, grab the car keys and head out the front door. I immediately move both vehicles to the other side of the street out of the bleach solutions way. I return to the front door grab the little benches on each side of the door to move them and as I'm walking down the steps I notice a Yellow Jacket homing in on my croutch. Before I even make it to the driveway I realize that I've disturbed a nest from somewhere, because I get stung IN my right ear, and on my outer right fore arm. When I reach the bottom of the steps I drop 1 of the benches on my ankle and start limping around cursing and swearing like a freakin maniac. I look over and there's Raul and his helper Jose looking at me like I'm retarded. I point and say something to the effect of watch out for them fuckin bees, and they shoot the nest down with the pressure washer. Now, I go in and head out the back door to move the patio furniture bitching like an old man yelling at kids in his yard. My lovely Jessica, just waking up, hears the commotion, and tries to comfort me. Now, let me tell you. I've been stung by sweat bees, wasp's, ants, catfish, and even bitten by non-poisonous snakes. This fucking topped them all!!! The whole side of my face was throbbing and swelling up. Even my arm looked like back in the day when I played Jr. High football and would get hemotoma's. My ear aching and swelling shut. Jessica, bless her heart, always wanting to help, eases the pain the best she can with ice, Lanacain, Ibuprofen and all the love and tenderness that she can give to my bitchin ass. A few hours pass and I'm feeling much better. We had a wonderful dinner and evening together and head off to bed. Which brings me to now. I wake up at 2:30 in the morning with my ear, arm and brain itching like a healing bone in a cast. I CAN'T STAND IT. I took some more ibuprofen,  put some lanacain on my arm and in and around my ear, got some ice tea and had to do something to take my mind off of it. Shit it's already 3:35am. I may as well get my day started. Thanx for your time. Goodnight or goodmorning or something....................................

Damn, thats sucks!
I've read that with every new bee bite, you loose your immune to it, so make sure you are watching out for it and if it is getting worse than before, give your self a favor and visit the doctor!
Good luck!

Man!

Sorry to hear about the Yellow Jackets. I'm sure  glad those days aren't every days. You're due for some slack time before you should get a day like that again.

Good Luck

I'm sorry but I'm laughing right now....Of course, I wasn't laughing when I ran over a yellow jacket hive with the lawn mower.....18 stings and tore off all my clothes in the yard...not a pretty sight.
