While out mowing yesterday, I got stung. I was down by the redbud tree in the front yard...."something" came swarming out from in the tree and got me. I got stung nine times. Burn! Man, did that burn. The neighbors probably thought I was crazy, waving my arms, slapping my leg. I came into the house and wiped my leg down with peroxide. Twice on my right ankle, three times on my right shin, twice behind my right knee and I even got stung twice on the outer left side of my chest. Got the front yard mowed, then came in, grabbed a shower, and started working on laundry. The back yard can wait until Rick can get the riding mower started. And I'm not going close to that redbud tree until after the first hard freeze. I started with the peroxide, then switched over to a baking soda paste (thank you @Mother Dragon ) and this morning, I dolloped all the stings with a good dose of Caladryl Clear; all I did last night was scratch. The itching is really bad.
- Breakfast for the kids, emptied the dishwasher, stripped the bed, scooped the boxes, took the trash out
- Working on the first of two loads of laundry
- Do a quick vacuum around the house
- I need to make pasta sauce for the freezer
- Make a coffee cake to use up sour cream in the fridge, thinking of making blueberry sauce to go with the cake
