Ouch, Kristin. You guys are past due for a good long stretch of totally uneventful.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Because books.
Kristin, honestly I'm a little surprised it swelled again overnight. So ... I'm not really sure when it'll go down completely. How's the one on your head?

The status is NOT quo.
The one on my head seems completely normal, which makes no sense. The only thing I can think is that it was a smaller sting than the first one and not near sensitive skin like the eyebrow.
Thanks for the advice, everyone.

If you're allergic to something, the reaction can show up elsewhere. As others have said, keep taking Benedryl for a couple of days.
I suspected I'd be achy today and I was right. I fell out of bed yesterday morning, something I can only remember doing once before as an adult. In my dream, I was climbing into a bunk bed, and I was apparently climbing in real life. (Bunk bed? WTF?) Very freaky. I landed on my wastebasket, which will never be the same, and have a really amazing bruise on my hip. I knew I needed bubble wrap when I was awake; I didn't realize I needed it when I was asleep too.

If that were true, it seems entirely unfair that I didn't get to him before I fell on my ass.

A sort-of friend just left a message asking if I wanted to go to Wall-E this afternoon and/or to Forbidden Planet at the Plaza tonight. (Those of you who went to Rocky Horror at last year's F2F have been there.) I have a huge amount to do here. Decisions, decisions.

good mornin...er, afternoon.
Wow, I was kinda bombed last night. Sorry!
I can't find my phone, but I kinda think I left it at my friend's house.
I NEED a huge iced coffee right NOW. Still wanting that teleporter. Mr. Makeout can go hang, but I wouldn't mind Mr. Iced-Coffee-And-A-Croissant.
Kristin, I can't believe you got stung! That sucks. But I'm sure it's only swelling because --ouch!- it's on your face.

Ugh, Kristin. I've been stung by a wasp just once and that was enough for me. It was on the leg, though, so while it swelled it was more like the giant mosquito bite from hell that really fucking hurt. It actually bruised, I think. I'd guess your swelling is because it's so close to the eye, it's an area that retains fluids quite easily and will show even the most mild allergic reaction. Something to talk to your doctor about, but not urgent.

can toxins slide down from an eyebrow to an eyelid this far after the fact?
Yes. Black eyes do. S took a spill last year while I was out, and clocked herself in the head on something, just above her left eyebrow. I came home to find her with a huge goose egg on her eye, and then watched over the next couple of days as the swelling kind of slid down into her eye socket and turned into a hell of a shiner.
