No, not that bee–
Driving around today to take care of some bidness, as Floyd Kenyatta would say, when a bee flies in my open window. Actually, I noticed the bee up by my rear view mirror in my peripheral vision, but I thought it was outside the car. Weeeell . . .
The next time I see the bee it is definitely inside the car because it’s on me.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!
As my friend Storm (see reiki blog for further explanation) would say, Goddess protect me! I am deadly allergic to bee stings. It is on the lapel of my shirt and I manage to flick it off onto the driver-side window. Okay, I’m still terrified now, since it can’t seem to find it’s way outside the window. I start to roll down the window, but then it’s going up then finally I get it going the right way and the bee flies away.
Of course I was in the middle of traffic when this happened. I don’t know how I managed not to hit anyone or anyone to hit me. However like all incidents in my life, I file them away in that writer’s file cabinet in my head to be called on when needed. There is a project I’m working on where I’ll need to recall terror while driving and this really helped.
Thanks bee, but next time stay the hell out of my car!





LOL! I’m glad the bee left you alone. Bees have been attracted to me everyday of the week for the past two weeks. Only in the Bronx, by the way. Monday, I was standing at the bus stop and a man passing by was happy to tell me there was a bee on me. Then he watched my reaction. I guess I disappointed him cause I didn’t jump, wave my hands, scream, run or do the panic dance. That would have been more entertaining, I suppose. Instead, I thanked him and moved around. Okay, I did wave the bee away once before walking away and I prayed real hard.
Luckily, the bee left me alone. Your bee story was more entertaining.

Thanks Paz. Glad to hear you weren’t stung either. Whew!
