Clutching my newly-replaced iPhone.
I applied some sting stuff from the first aid kit and kept working, even though I felt out of it most of the day. The swelling kicked in shortly after and got pretty good-sized. and then of course the ceaseless itching.
The war never ends with these creatures. They serve little purpose to me, they can all die as far as I'm concerned. Just die.

hen it happens it just floors you every time. A yell, a scream of pain from parts of you that are reserved for only the worst kind of surprises. Sudden, violent, and after the screaming subsides, a bit of embarrassment for being so loud over so tiny a creature.While I was scooping ice into a bag to give to a flight attendant today a wasp took a journey up my shorts to look for decaying matter to bring back to the nest. I must have stood up straighter and closed the fabric of my shorts against my skin because just up the back of my thigh the wasp dropped its stinger and held on for a good long while. I've been stung a bit before in my life but this one seemed to last longer and be stronger than the others.
