I got stung by a wasp while picking blackberries last night.
"Ow! Ow! Fuck! Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!" I howled as I scurried down the ladder and ran far away from the blackberry bushes. (Thankfully, the kids were in the house!)
Thing is, I knew there were wasps in the bushes, I'd always been careful and when I saw a wasp, I knew it was time to move away and go to another section of berries. I got distracted last night when the Husband was ogling my butt while I was bent over on the ladder and he called to me. Yeah- blame the husband!
I got stung on my ring finger and I took my ring off and I can't get it back on yet. My knuckle is still swollen and it's hard to bend, and now, it is starting to itch, itch, itch. I miss my ring. I don't think I have ever seen my finger so swollen before and it's interesting to see how big my knuckle is. I hope the swelling goes down soon, at least it doesn't hurt anymore.*****
In yard sale news:: We did pretty good today. Sold some bigger items and made over $100. Whoo-hoo! Looking forward to tomorrow and hope we have repeat success.

Oooh nasty. That has put me right off blackberry picking now. It is almost time to start over here but now I want to wear gloves!
Dj-- I don't mean to put you off berry-picking. I will still go back and pick berries from the same spot, only this time I'll make sure Hubby stays away from me! :o) My finger is still swollen-- I thought it would have gone down by now. I'm tempted to lance it, but I don't know if that will help. Woke me at 4 this morning with the itching-- argh!
I once got into a sleeping bag with a wasp (obviously I didn't know it was in there!!)...the results were not pretty!!
Hope the swelling goes down soon
