In my early teenage years a teacher got me interested in beekeeping. I saved my money till I had enough to buy the equipment and the teacher provided me with a swarm from his hive. The Bees were flourishing and it came time to open the hive to add the first Super (the section where they store the honey we can take).Well, my excitement is having been kissed by a honeybee. I went to get dog food, and when I got in the car, I felt a tickle on my cheek. I brushed it off and a bee dropped on the passenger seat. I got out, walked around the car, and opened the door, being the gentleman that I am, and it flew off, and we both went our merry way.
No, it was an actual honeybee. I was really surprised that I didn't get stung when I removed it from my cheek.Was it a bumble bee? They are pretty friendly generally![]()
It's nice to see Luke feeling a little normal. This is the first time he jumped on my desk for quite a while. Sucks having to make him wear that e-collar but it doesn't seem to bother him a whole lot, he just needs to leave his wounds alone and let his hair grow back so he's going to be wearing it for a few weeks anyways.

Hey y'all.
Coming up for a bit of air. Semester is over, but still plenty going on to keep me busy, mostly because I'm a foolish fool who can't leave well enough alone. I'm not only taking some professional development courses online, but I've also been designing one as well with the folks at the SUNY Center for Professional Development. Oh, and this week is my annual AP Eng Lang test scoring. It's the start of Day Three.
I do have a vacation coming up in just over 2 weeks. I suspect the first day will involve a lot of naps
Oh no, what happened to Luke? Poor little guy. (You might have posted this already but I've missed too many pages to backread)
Not entirely sure. He started to dig at his neck and caused a lot of scratches, bled a lot and lost his fur around the neck and other places too. Took him to the vet and they gave him some injections and he has to take medicine everyday. They think it could have been some kind of infection, allergic reaction or parasite of sorts. But also could be something underlying so waiting for the blood work to come back. He lost a lot of weight as well very quickly but he wasn't eating either. However since then he has gained over a pound back and his wounds has healed up almost completely plus hair is growing back and he's looking a lot better so hopefully it's nothing bad. They're concerned he has thyroid disease but the weight gain is a good sign. He's also playing now too which is also another good sign.
