Bee = 1, Me = Zero

marinessI was riding along happily enough on my trike when something hit me in the face.
Something small - so small that I hadn't seen it approach. A tiny insect, I thought, or a small clod of dirt -
And then a second later, as a stinging sensation swept across the left side of my face, I changed my original thought to bee.
Which kinda ended today's trike trip and errands. A couple hours later, the left side of my face is approximately 100 million times the size of the right side and my eye is kinda hurting (the sting was below the eye, but the swelling is pushing up into it.) Experience tells me that this will start to go down in a few more hours and be entirely gone by tomorrow, but in the meantime you will all excuse me if I go take a bit of revenge by having a lot of foods with honey - a peanut butter and honey sandwich and some roobios tea with honey, to start with.

Date: 2010-09-14 05:53 pm (UTC)A sudden gust of wind blew a bunch of tree debris into my face, behind my glasses. I swept away wet, sodden tree buds and leaves and bits of mulch... and half a bee. But only half. It had stung me right under the eye, by which I mean, juuuust below my lower lower eyelid. I didn't swell up as much as you're swelling, though.
I hope you feel better soon! Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are super tasty, especially when the bread is slightly toasted and the pb&h are spread on while it's still warm and they get alll gooooey. Mmm.
