SCA event was eventful
so, the event was eventful.. in ways i could have done without.
now, on the good side, i did make a little money, and i saw friends i hadnt seen in ages!!!! etc etc etc. so please do not think this was all bad or anything, because it was a very nice event in some ways.
so, the van didnt get re loaded on Friday like it needed to, which meant i was trying to wrestle the pavilion down the stairs Saturday morning.
Wayne got an emergency call from work, as usual, so he had to deal with that which meant we left two hours later than i wanted to... now in a rush (that part is important to understand what happens from now on)
and grabbed some kind of breakfast on route
we forgot: my cane, most of our meds, my linen tunic, my belt and our feast gear. also we packed drinks but no food.
so, the stuff i had to wear at the event? my wool over tunic. Bzzzzzt! way too hot for that, and my linen tunic? at home. so i am trying to vend in t shirt and pants, which a linen hood. i felt awful.
the day board (and bathroom)was far away and i had no cane.
but thats ok, every time one of us got to teh day board the locusts had stripped it pretty bare, and we didnt have plates or anything to eat off of anyway.
wayne went out to get food and "didnt check the sandwich" and was off his blood sugar enough that he didnt understand at all why he should check my sandwich anyway....... luckily they left stuff off, not put stuff i am allergic to on, but i was pretty pissed. wayne of course didnt TELL me he was having blood sugar problems, and didnt sit and eat at the site/food place before getting my food, no. he drove all the way back without eating.
so, i am packing up early because i feel sick and hot and its about last court time.......
and wayne and two friends are helping us pack.....
and i put my hand down on the business end of a yellow jacket wasp
i think he got me twice in short succession in the same area
well i had benedryl in me in no time.
and teh kitchen had baking soda/salt paste made up because so many people had been stung already...
and i got offered bee sting medicine
and THEN i found out that the bee sting stuff the medic offered had benzocaine, which i dont dare take because of potential lethal allergies...
so i put a hot tea bag on it (tannins/hot compress) and the baking soda, and more benedryl.....
did i mention bendryl is a dmn find sleeping pill?
so we are trying to get food, and i am loopy loopy mc loopy
and my hand hurts
odd side note:
i dunno if its just that wasp stings hurt THAT bad and pain meds plus bendruyl make me THAT loopy. but..
is it possible that some combo of "sting+bendryl+pain meds" actually helped my knee? it seemed to work a lot better.....
today my hand hurts, but it looks ok. and my whole ARM on that side hurts. oddly my first thought was it hurts where i got my flu shot.......
oh, yes.... and my epi pen is missing. must have been left in my old purse when i changedpurses. good thing i didnt need it, eh?
