So this bee sting I got about week ago wound up getting infected and was the reason for my left forearm to balloon up to the size of a small marble. Tis quite painful and I had to get some super anti-biotics to combact the swelling and super pain killers to dull my arm. Cuz damn this fucker hurts. Its like if I move it just right, it feels like I got stung all over again. The doc thinks there may be a fleck of the stinger still in there and is trying to work its way out like a zit. Gross huh, the puss is all yellowy and disgusting. I thought maybe it was a bite, and the doc didn't really seem to know other then it is infected pretty bad. I remember pulling out a stinger last week, either Tues or Wed, don't remember, but when it didn't seem to be getting any better and Sunday it started getting bigger I just started icing it until the swelling went down. But this morning the sucker was bleeding and that was enough for me to say "WTF doc time"! Thank goodness I have some pretty solid health insurance that covers my visit and nearly all my meds, otherwise this would have been a pain in my wallet too!

So this evening I will relax with a warm pack on it and try to enjoy a beer and maybe even a stogie as I stay cool in my AC controlled place. Not sure if I'll venture out unless the date I was to maybe have last night somehow comes together for tonight, then I may just have to take a chance on that

On another, more positive avenue, I'm getting a whole heap of responsibility at the dojo in prep for fall as I will be helping with the kids class and also doing some promoting of a new class time that I'll be in charge of coming up this fall as well. Cuz now with my official teaching cert from Japan I can teach whenever. But since our dojo has multiple high ranking Dan ranks(Black Belts) its tough to get a good slot where lots of students show for class so I'm trying to start up my own. Not to mention that this fall I will also be doing some hardcore training to get ready for my second degree black belt test in Dec. Which ought to be a whole lotta fun and keep me pretty busy. But until then I'm only doing one class a week and covering some classes on the weekends as its been slow for students due the nice weather. Which is fine by me, good to take it easy for a bit, cuz this spring was insane with all the work that went into our international Yoshinkan Aikido clinic we held in May.
