Bee Bee Bumble Bee

This past Tuesday I made a discovery...I am allergic to bees. When I got stung it hurt like...well, really bad. I told my manager and she asked if I was allergic and I had no idea. Well, once I got back into my store, I was going to put something on the sting when she told me I had to get on bar. I was about to explain and she left.

Twenty painful minutes later, I got to the back room and used some disinfecting wipes and hoped that was good enough.

The next day, my whole upper arm was throbbing and half of it was red, puffy, itchy and hot. And all day long I was also strangely lethargic and when I finally had the opportunity to get some pain killers and cortisone cream, I realize that this wasn't a normal reaction.

So, it is now Saturday night and my arm is still red, but not as red, and a little itchy, though the swelling started to dwindle (FINALLY) yesterday.

The weather is getting colder and I am missing a bunch of sweaters:o( This is very disappointing since I think they are currently residing in my old apartment in Boston. Thank goodness Beth and Eileen are still there. Though this is a good excuse to buy some new ones, I really loved the ones I got last year and I finally don't have make sure I don't wear my gray one the same day Bree does:o).
