Scorpions are creeps

This will be another quick post. We got our internet back this afternoon but I’m just now getting around to blogging here (I did posts on Dee’s Kitchen and The Well-Groomed Hippie earlier). I had an *interesting* experience this evening. I got stung by a scorpion. Everyone else in my family has had it happen at least once but this was a first for me. I’m usually the one who spots them. Apparently one had crawled up my long skirt and when I sat down at the computer it stung the back of my leg. Ouch!
It’s been three hours and is still pretty painful but my bigger concern was whether I’d have an allergic reaction. I’ve been fighting asthma for a month and having episodes of hives this past week. The middle of my upper lip and the tip of my tongue started getting numb a little while ago so I took two Benadryl capsules. Fortunately my breathing is okay. I figure if I was going to have a serious reaction it would have happened by now. Right? Right?
Anyway, that’s what’s going on around here tonight. What’s happening in your neck of the woods?
