In Which I Is Burned and Stung
Jun. 9th, 2011 09:49 pmToday was one of those days. Unfortunately, it seems to be a trend for me. I had an appointment at 8:30 at the doctor. In the process of trying to get myself, my purse, and my big mug of coffee out of the car, I knocked my coffee over onto my lap. I'm soaked, there's a big puddle of coffee on the seat of my car (which is, thankfully, leather) which drips down the crack onto the carpet. Did I mention the coffee was HOT? And it's all over me? I found out later when I got into the shower that I have a small burn on my thigh.
So then I spend the next hour and a half vacuuming and shampooing the carpets in the car, and cleaning all the upholstery. (It looks much nicer!) And then when I went to turn off the water in the back yard, I decided since I was in the mood to Get Things Done, that it was time to pull out the lemon balm which has spread and grown so that the faucet handle is hidden. I grab a handful of stems, and POW! OW!!!! *cry* *scream* Who knew wasps LOVE lemon balm? And don't like it when a giant fist grabs them and the lemon balm? So it stung me right in the tender skin between thumb and index finger. I can attest that wasp stings HURT! Not sting. HURT!
*sigh* The only good news of the day was that the bad things happening in threes did not happen today. But I'm scared for tomorrow.
