Bee Stings & Grass!

I haven't fooled with my bees in the past few weeks...until yesterday. I decided it was time for an inspection and more sugar water for my babies. As usual my mother helped me with the task. Either I was not gentle enough or they were simply agitated...but between the two of us we received 5 stings. My mother got 4 stings...ear lobe, foot, and two in the head and I was stung on my right elbow. She wasn't wearing any protective clothing, sat too close and had hair gel on...all no-nos. Her ear is very swollen...I have been teasing her and calling her dumbo...She really hates that!

Yesterday was also full of work. I planted grass seed in the front yard - I hope it will grow. Last year's planting was not that successful. We are considering selling the house and want to make slight improvements, just in case we decide to sell.

Next week...the job hunt continues. My mother has had a few leads and I really hope she finds something in the next few weeks. I think she is ready for a change...after 35+ years of working for the State, I think she is ready for something different for the next 10 years of her working life. I am also ready for a job! I am so sick of people telling me I am over-qualified for some things and that I do not have enough experience for others. I do not understand why HR people do not get the point that skills are transferable and that young, highly educated people ARE capable of doing jobs they have never done before! I'll get off my soap box...and on to other tasks for the day...buy airline ticket...get ready for company that will arrive at 3...and clean!
