Get a Load of This

Yesterday I went up to the tanning beds after Husband got home from work. No big deal, right?

Well, I'm all situated in the bed, tanning away, when I felt something brush against my arm. I thought it was just a fly so I tried to shoo it away...but then I felt a sting and I knew it wasn't a fly.

It was a bee, rather a yellow jacket, to be specific, but I'll just call it a generic bee. Luckily I'm not allergic to bee stings; the last time I was stung was something like 30 years ago, but I don't remember any adverse reactions back then.

So, after I roared out a choice four-letter word, I hopped out of the bed, still lit up mind you, and killed said insect. Then I got back in the tanning bed and finished out my time.

I told the girl at the desk about it. I'm not allergic, but someone else might be, know what I mean?

I should at least get a free tanning session out of this since I got interrupted.
