Until then, enjoy the image of me running up the stairs, full throttle, with a swarm of yellow jackets hungrily following me. Joy.

A Quiet Day
Today was full of a lot of nothing - mostly relaxing indoors, waiting for pretty much nothing to happen. I stayed indoors for the most part, because I didn't want to worsen the sunburn that is quickly healing. I didn't see the need to back track on its slow but steady process. I did, however, pick up my new best friend ever:
That's right, everyone, you've been replaced by a giant green bottle of GOO. However, I did learn something today, a very important lesson, in fact! The smell of aloe vera, no matter how long ago you applied the stuff, seems to attract yellow jackets heavily. Yes. It's scary. I had to run halfway up to my dorm to get away from a few of them, because they kept finding me. Huffing and puffing, back into my room, where I think I'm going to spend the rest of the night, aside from a few minutes to take pictures of tonight's sunset, which won't be for a little longer.
Until then, enjoy the image of me running up the stairs, full throttle, with a swarm of yellow jackets hungrily following me. Joy.

Good for Green Goo. Bad for yellow jackets. I wonder if it's solely the aloe, or if it's the way it combines with your particular body chemistry. Whichever, it seems you'll have to avoid sun and bees except when you've healed and haven't slathered on the stuff. What an exercise regimine!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I definitely got a good run in today! It was kinda nice in a way, but it was also scary trying to run away from the bees!
ReplyDeleteYay for aloe!
ReplyDeleteBoo for yellow jackets!
