    I did try to go but my clinic didn't have any more appointments. It was Friday. I tried to go to Urgent care and there was a patient who had her mask down at her chin who continually coughed, so I left. I went to son's that has central air and slept all afternoon. Swelling and redness is better today. I will have to get this into my chart. I think one thing that saved me from this going more serious is I immediately covered the stings with mud mask and apple cider vinegar to draw out the venom. I also used ice and elevation.

    DrewB might have thrown up because of how upset I got from those stings. It was iincredibly painful. She was fine the rest of the day. I got the stain out by coating it first with baking soda and the using a solution of vinegar and dawn after rinsing out the baking soda.

    Thank you for all the well wishes.

    Margaret - I have a gadget that sucks out stings. It even works on mosquito bites. I bought it to take to tropical climes years ago. I'm sure you can get them on Amazon for next time! It's a plunger with different sized nozzles.
    Sorry about your attack. DH is currently suffering from a collection of mosquito bites he got at the cricket. Of course, I offered him the sucker, but he declined. :# He did use my Afterbite pen though. Bit better today.

    All good. I heard my old friend Deborah Moggach on the radio today. So I emailed her to say hello. It brought back lots of memories. She is the woman who wrote the original book for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. On BBC Sounds it is on 'Saturday Live', about 65 - 70 mins in . Inheritance Tracks section.
    I'm sure she will get thousands of responses, but I just felt the urge to say hi.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx where the rain hasn't arrived yet. ;)

    We had a wasp visiting my daughter and I on the deck last night. It drove us inside.

    Kaitlyn arrived about 730 last night. We timed it to have a pizza supper with her then her and I went to work in the craftroom. It is going to be a huge difference. I’ll share pictures when we’re done. We worked until midnight last night. I’m waiting for her to wake up and we’ll start at it again. We do need to go buy a couple of under bed totes before starting again.

    My back and hips will not like my by tomorrow I’m sure.

    Machka – Cycling is something you love. It is great that you are setting a goal to ride at least one 50 km ride each month. It seems like you are getting an important part of your life back. :star: I love the Ralph Waldo Emerson quotation.

    Heather – I am pleased that your son is getting his second vaccination. It is important for as many as possible get the vaccine. It protects you and those around you. :flowerforyou:

    Lisa – DH & I each have a VW diesel car. His is a Passat, and mine is a Touareg. Both are wagons with excellent mileage and we are likely to keep them as long as possible. :star: Levi is a charmer. :heart:

    Allie -- Have fun making baby blankets. I had to start over with the one I’m knitting for our future grandson. Somehow, I got a snag that made it necessary to unravel the whole thing and start over. I have a good amount of time to get the blanket knitted. The baby isn’t due for several months. :smiley:

    Margaret – I am so sorry that you were stung. :cry:


    Deer are not my favorite animals. :grumble: They are back at eating my plants—I was able to rescue one tomato plant and the other is now in a cage for protection. Blueberries are ripening. YUM!!!

    Have a good day!

    Off to get the CLAWS redone today. It's the one pampering I do for myself.

    I know about deer, Katla. We have them wandering through our backyard and as much as I love watching them, especially the younguns, they've totally destroyed my beautiful, Big Daddy Hosta plants! They love the leaves so now they're down to stalks. smh.

    I’m planning a grocery trip this morning. I hope to get it done early. DH is expecting an important package in the next few days and needs to be downstairs to answer the door and sign for the package. :star:

    I'd love to know the name of that gadget for our upcoming trip.

    Tracey I have had wasps try to set up household on sons deck. I catch them early. I blast it with water and then spray the area with peppermint oil. The wasps that got me were in neighbors yard. I was try to water our tree and put the hose over the privacy fence. They have an old wooden deck. The house is vacant most of the time because they live in Oklahoma and only come up about 3-4 times a year. That is why I put my hose over the fence no one is watering next door and we are in a drought. Our trees are suffering as a result. This tree is close to their lot.

    As I feeling much better today but it is scary. Heather I don't know how effective that would be with wasps. They inject their venom and do not leave a stinger. I assume you could only work on one sting at a time. I do think the mud pack drew out some of the venom because it's purpose is to draw out impurities when you use it on your face. I quickly applied it to all my stings. You can buy small packets. I think I will get some to have in an emergency kit along with benadryl. I had 5 stings but some of the wasps stung me more than once.

    I'm having a semi-productive day. Got sheets in the laundry, paid a bill, tried on my bathing suit. It still fits but not snug. Loose is okay as I don't plan to be that active. I plan to go tubing on the Shenandoah in two weeks.

    I did weigh in today, and somehow I lost more than I expected. Yay!

    Last time I got stung, it got infected. No fun. Take care!

    Afternoon ladies
    Well i bave been out and about ordered yarn and a crochet hook from Joann Fabrics,ugh got the wrong size hook,will try and return it. And ordered the right size on amazon,because of my points I got it for free.
    Tracy and I went out we stopped at Walmart so she could get prenatal vitamins and then over to Joann Fabrics to pick my stuff up.took herto lunch at Panera.. that girl is full of anxiety. Can only eat certain stuff supposedly because of the IVF and she is freaking out financially because the OB office sent her a letter saying she has to pay them 6000 at time of delivery and they dont take payment plans,they said something about a global package that everything is combined and she is trying to figure out where the money will come from..
    She is just worrying herself sick...ugh
    I took information to see if I can call insurance and help her figure it out.

    Hi there! So good to see SparkPeople here. I’m still getting used to MFP. Is it worth it to get Premium? Seems so pricey when SparkPeople was free and amazing.

    Stat for the day-


    Walk w/family- 2hrs 53min 39sec, 2.96ap, 187elev, 82ahr, 112mhr, 8.69mi= 858c
    Strava app = 1052c


    Was going to ride but ended up making another batch of doggie treats for yogi instead. We got a retractable sliding screen door for the front door too. No more screen door, it was falling apart
