Behold, This Post is Full of Cursing...

...in my head, at least. I'm not going to curse out loud, much as I really, REALLY want to.

So what has me so irritated? I was enjoying a nice lunch outside at the cafeteria next door, just about to finish off my salmon burger, when I see a yellow and black blur land on my food in the corner of my eye.

Just as I'm about to take a bite.

So by the time my slow brain has registered, "Gee, that's a yellow jacket" and "Maybe you should shoo it away before biting into that burger"...

It stung me.

On my tongue.

And now half my tongue is really hurting (although thankfully, not swollen) and I'm really cranky at the moment. No obvious allergic reactions, aside from the pain.

Oh, and the yellow jacket? I managed to squish it with my shoe. Petty? Yeah, but I was feeling vindictive at the time. And I'm amazed I managed not to swear in front my boss, who was eating lunch with me at the time.

OMG! Argh. That must have felt horrible. Is it swelling up? Yikes. You are a brave woman, but make sure you take care of the pain that sting might cause you. Hope it gets better really fast.

Nah, no swelling. Just throbbing achiness. And eating dinner was...interesting. It's hard to eat w/o using your tongue, so I did a bit of "wolfing," if you will. Felt really silly, but I couldn't push the food along with my tongue. :(

Holy schnikeys!

And, yellow jackets deserve to die, even without such insulting injury.

:) I will definitely give yellow jackets wide berth from now on. And thanks for the loan of the icon.

Damn that really bites! (no pun intended! hee hee) I am glad that you are not allergic though. It could have been alot worse. I hope you feel better soon.

And by the way, the yellow jacket deserved to die!

OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!
You know you can do a baking soda paste for stings on other parts of the body but in the world can you do when the mouth gets stung?

And thats why I don;t like eating outside. too many bugs.

Use oral anesthetic gel. And acetaminophen. So far, it's been manageable. I'm still a bit irritated by the whole thing because I couldn't really enjoy the watermelon tonight, but it's funny in retrospect. I'd hate to imagine if I'd somehow swallowed it.

I have to admit, I giggled a little. Not because it hurt you, but because you wrote it so funnily! I'm sorry you were stung! I hope you're better today and not having to wolf your food again.

Oh, no worries. I found it funny too, especially since everything is back to normal again.
