Good Grief!

Tonight while I was watering my plants, it happened again. I was swarmed by bees & stung multiple times on my left hand & under my right eye. Apparently there is a bees' nest under my deck floor . . . I'm afraid to look! The bee sting stick I just bought didn't touch the pain or the swelling. So I took a frozen margarita pouch from the freezer & held it with my left hand over my right eye. It helped on my hand, but my eye not so much. I tweeted about it & someone sent me a home remedy to try. . . chopped parsley mixed with vinegar & salt. Well, it probably would have worked better if I didn't have to substitute parsley flakes & wine vinegar, but all I ended up with was parsley flakes stuck to my face! Eventually, I decided that the margarita pack might be more effective taken internally so I drank it. My eye is still swollen, but I'm a lot more chill about it now.
