OUCH!

Okay, so Monday evening I decided to pull a few weeds in the east rock garden.  Got all set up and had a good start when lo and behold I got stung by a wasp!  Now, I don’t know if you have ever been stung by a wasp, but it sure does HURT.  I even had gloves on and it stung be through the gloves.  I came inside and ran cold water on my finger and then put Neosporin on it.  The wasp did not leave it’s stinger in my finger, so I didn’t have to worry about that.  Now it just itches.  I haven’t pulled any weeds since.  Tonight (Wednesday) is bible study at church so I know I won’t be pulling weeds. 

Yesterday I fixed the ornament I had taken partially apart.  I also made two new ornaments.  So far I have two stars, one cross and one round ornament.  I am making good progress.  They are all plastic canvas.  I still have quite a few to make.  Actually I have now finished all three stars!

I went to Bible study this evening, and did we ever have a storm.  First time I’ve been to church and had a rain delay.  It rained so hard and so loud you could not even talk to the person next to you.  It lasted about 20 minutes, then we were able to finish.  By the time we left the rain was over.  When I arrive home I found that we did not have one drop of rain here.

Thursday I finished two more ornaments.  I’m really making good progress.  Didn’t do too much except dishes and stuff like that.  It’s been really hot so I haven’t been going outside except when necessary.

Russell County does our trash pickup, and now they even furnish our trash cans.  They want everyone to use the same kind, and we only get one.  We are allowed to add one smaller can if necessary.  Anyway, they delivered our new trash cans yesterday.  I am going to leave mine at the top of the driveway.  It is way too big for me to even pull up there, especially once I put trash in there.

This morning I had my yearly GYN checkup.  Afterwards I went to the bank and WalMart. I needed birdseed and a few other odds and ends.  Kevin cut the back grass.  Looks like Kevin and Renea are going to use Rick and Beth’s boat tomorrow.  Not sure what lake they are going to use it on. Ricky and Lanora will probably go with them.  They don’t ask me because they know I don’t like the water or being on the water in this heat.

Kevin and Renea invited me for supper.  Kevin fixed a London broil in the smoker and it was delicious.  Renea fixed baked potatoes, salad and crescent rolls.  She also baked a chocolate cake.  Everything was wonderful. Came home after supper and finished reading my book.  Didn’t do much else.  I was pretty tired.  Miss Penny had me up bright and early.  Also, my doctor appointment was for 9:00 so I had to get up early anyway.  Needless to say, it was an early night.

By the way, I think my finger is finally back to normal after the wasp bite.  I didn’t realize it would take so long.  It was swollen and itched all week.
