Yeow!

Two Saturdays ago I was on the deck drinking my coffee. I had been having trouble with my sciatic nerve which had caused a great deal of pain in my back, hip & leg, & I had been unable to sleep for several nights. So instead of just sitting (which was painful) with my coffee I decided to walk around the deck & move some of my plants. Just as I picked up the first plant I got stung on the foot by a bee that then became trapped between my toes. As I was trying to both kill the bee & free my foot from it, I began getting stung on my left leg (yes, the one that was already sore!). Bees were now in my pajama pants, & all I really could do as I hopped & screamed was take my pants off & hope that no one would see me. Now I'm free of the bees but standing half naked on my deck screaming like a banshee! Eventually I calmed down & went inside only to find I had nothing for bee stings. I dragged myself upstairs, threw on some pants & drove to CVS. As I limped through CVS I armed myself a bee sting stick, BenGay & Advil. I was in tears when I checked out. Of course I told the sympathetic clerk my story. Yes, I felt like a total baby, but it really hurt!
