Busy Day Today and a run in with Hornets yesterday!
Yesterday was my home day. I usually do washing and cleaning. I vacuumed and mopped the floors and did the laundry, but I did not get all the laundry folded-not a big surprise.
Ozzie and I went outside to play some ball. I threw the ball one more time straight out back just past the mulberry tree. Ozzie ran and got it and was pushing it around with his nose when all of the sudden he abandoned the ball and ran away from it. He finally made it back to the patio and kept stopping to lick his leg. He would not go get his ball. I walked out to get his ball and was reaching down to pick it up when, I noticed several bee looking things swarming around his ball, just inches from my hand. Soon, I noticed they were swarming around me as well. I forgot about the ball and ran back to the house. Ozzie and I got in the house and sure enough, he had been stung on the inside of his back leg-there was a huge welt. Dan was home and I told him what happened. He told me to get some ice on Ozzie's leg.
Bless Ozzies little heart, we layed on the floor and he let me hold an ice bag on the inside of his back leg for 20 minutes. As we were laying there I noticed his left eye was runny and starting to swell above the eye. He had been stung on the face too! Poor baby.
Dan went outside to check on the situation. He couldn't even get close to the ball as it was swarming with Yellow Jacket Hornets. Some how the hornets have managed to build a nest in the ground and Ozzie's ball rolled right over the opening.
I don't know how I didn't get stung. It was truly a miracle.
Ozzie is doing well. He didn't even yelp when the hornets stung him.
Today was the day the official skating season started. I had to leave the house at 9:30AM in order to get to the rink in time for my class. There was only one signed up, so they will probably cancel the class. So, I finished up at the rink at 11 and then headed back home.
I volunteered to bring a meal into the kick off of the the discipleship class at church tonight. So, I had to get started on that when I came home. I had to take a nap about 1/2 way through the process.
At 4:30 it was time to head back into town for my 5:00 Power Skating Class. There are now a whopping 4 people in the class, so I guess they will probably run it.
After class I ran to the grocery store to pick up some salad stuff and then went to church to set up and warm up the supper.
So, now I'm finally back home and tired.
I don't have the church bulletin done yet. I usually try to have the proof ready for Pastor by Wednesday night service. I don't skate on Wednesday's so, I'll get it finished up tomorrow during the day.
Well, it is off to bed.
