one last spamming..

Got my copies of Young Warriors in the mail. Two copies -- one the trade edition hardcover, the other the library edition (one has a paper dustjacket, the other's printed over board). Very nice. And the stories within are all quite excellent -- it's a damn good collection. Not jsut me saying that, either -- it's already gotten a great Kirkus review, and is a BBYA 2006 Nominee.

I'd enjoy it a lot more if I didn't also get another present -- a nasty yellowjacket sting on the ring finger of my right hand which has made holding a pencil (to do the line edit that was on tonight's agenda) impossible. *snarl*

At least I can still type, although slowly. Stupid yellowjckets.

Owwwwwww! BAD yellowjackets! Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the heads-up re Kirkus, BTW!

That Other Place, you mean?

*smiles beatifically* What a LOVELY suggestion...

Um, what's a yellowjacket?

[lagilman]

A wasp, with (natch) yellow and black coloring. Nasty buggers, who become real pests late summer into early fall. Unlike bees, they don't generally leave their stinger in the wound, and so live to sting again.

I have what appears to be a slight allergy to the sting. Bastard got me just under the knuckle (I was picking something up he'd decided to use as a resting place), and the finger's still swollen there, but the rest of the hand seems fine.

More a damned annoyance than anything else.

DOH!!!! on the sting...

if it makes you feel any better, one time I was at the PA Renaissance Faire and a bee flew up my skirt and stung me on the ass. I'm medium-allergic, so while I didn't swell up and die, it did swell up into a HUGE and painful (like fist-sized) welt almost immediately.

The kind EMTs had a good laugh at me before offering Benadryl. ;)

I was stung 24 times about the head and neck as a four year old by wasps. Explains a lot.
