When I was in 3rd grade, I was sitting on the swings of my school's playground when I felt something in my hair. It turned out to be a wasp that got stuck, but luckily it managed to untangle itself and fly away before anything happened. Other than that, I haven't had much contact with them (thank goodness).

Oh, I completely forgot. When I was little, a wasp got tangled in my hair, and it did sting/bite me. The lady me and my sister were with (babysitter) was allergic, so she couldn't help me. My sister had to get it out with the sleeve of her jacket.

I got bit/stung by a wasp at the thrift store once, also. It was on a chair, and I happened to be the one to sit down and lean back on it (got me in the back).

When I lived at the fairgrounds, there was a huge nest of wasps in my hookup box (electrical). But they never had a problem with me.

I've only ever been stung once by a wasp, and no joke, it was an already dead wasp to boot. That's what I get for using my bare hand to get some dirt and debris out of a corner.



Unrelated.

My poor female Muscovy duck is sitting on eggs again, not even a month after her last attempt to sit on eggs. Well..not really an attempt, she does sit, but she is unable to hatch anything. She will sit on the eggs until my mother and I are forced to remove them because they are rotten. Found out that the m/f pair I bought are just too inbred and offspring is simply not possible between the two of them. I'm now looking around in the local area for fertile eggs. She hasn't been upset when we touch the eggs, so I am hopeful that we can place some eggs from a third party under her without any trouble.


Finally made an update to my art page here. Took me long enough; I'm just sad it's more photographs and not actual artwork. I really need to get off my butt and draw more. Like, seriously, I'm never going to improve if I only ever draw something two or three times a year.

The poor duck! I hope placing eggs under her works out

And lol, for the art thing, I'm the total opposite. I should probably actually try practicing legitimate photography instead of just taking lame pictures with my phone of anything I find pretty. (I do take a ton of pictures though.) And I draw so much it could be considered unhealthy.
...Even if I don't upload a vast majority of my stuff online...
Mostly I'm worried about my story-writing. I used to do it a ton, and have been ever since I was six years old, but the motivation for that is totally dead at the moment and I'm worried about how rusty I'm getting. Ughhh

I have turkey eggs....

Or a neighbor has some ducks...

My dog made it through her pyometra surgery and we are now back home where she is recovering by my side. What a week. I'm exhausted but have to be at work soon to finish an "emergency" order that the customer didn't place til yesterday but needs tomorrow. Um what kind of emergency is it if you didn't give me but a day to do it. And then had the nerve to call and ask if it was done today KNOWING I was going to be away today and that it was going to be done TONIGHT when I should be sleeping. And on top of that, asking for a change in the order that would literally double the amount of work I have to have done. Seriously people, your poor planning is not MY emergency. My dog...she was an emergency. Your special shirts you need embroidered for some event this weekend...meh. Not real high up on my panic roster right now after the week I've had and considering you knew about this event two weeks ago but didn't place your order until yesterday. I really wish my boss would learn to say "Our standard turnaround time is 7-10 working days" and actually mean it. But why should he? He gets to charge a rush charge but it's not him that's missing out on the sleep doing the work. He doesn't even know how to do the work. Ugh. I need sleep. This all came out way too ranty. I really just wanted to be happy that my dog is home and okay but now I have to worry about this stupid job..

SOCH HELP

I actually am a bit terrified to hatch anything under a duck that's well...not a duck. Ever seen a mama duck try to teach her young ones to swim? It's not a pretty sight when the young aren't ducks themselves.



Also, it's after midnight. Why am I still awake? -crawls off to bed-

I wish I could figure out what my migraine triggers are.

^ If pain-targeting meds like ibuprofen/aspirin/tylenol/etc don't work to relieve them, it could be airborn allergies.
Supposedly the state I live in is one of those ones where you just pass through and you could leave with like 12 new pollen allergies(all the lakes and ponds are manmade and apparently that mutated/fucked up all the local plants) and I went several months when I first moved here with splitting headaches in every damn spot possible, overdoing it on aspirin the whole while trying to get rid of them with no effect, only to take a benedryl one day for something small and unrelated like drippy snot or something almost at the end of allergy season and notice oh hey, the pain is gone, what the fuck. Took benedryl every day when allergy season rolled back around and managed to avoid it for the most part the next year.
