I actually made it outside, showered and dressed. Went and bought some birthday presents for my nieces. Didn't enjoy the process as I used to, didn't put much thought into it. Felt a bit low on ideas. But went to a good toy store and looked around until I found something adequate for each. Actually went over to their house to give them their presents (about a week late), but they weren't home. Made plans (!) with my sister to bring over the presents this evening.
Then came home, craving, get this, those little yellow tags that read "new". Only one now, kind of a let down. Am I getting addicted to babble?
Something interesting happened when I was getting dressed. I put my pants on, and felt something on my leg. I touched it through the pants with my hand and it felt something like a fuzzy wad of bunched up scotch tape. For a millisecond, I thought it was a bug, then calmed myself into thinking it was a sticky label or something, then it started to vibrate!!!! I screamed and got out of the pants as soon as I could, and looked inside and there was a big fat bumblebee staring up at me. I managed to free him outside a few minutes later. I don't know if bumblebees--the big, fuzzy type--sting. But I feel so incredible lucky not to have been stung if they do. I have been stung by yellowjacks and know it is pretty awful, but have no experience with the bumblebee. Any way, I thought to myself, what meaning can I make of this unusual event? I am not a beleiver in "signs" or anything like that, but sometimes it helps to play out a metaphor. Any ideas?
