Buzzed

Matt was out doing yardwork yesterday, and accidentally ran afoul of a huge wasp nest. He got stung a bunch of times, and spent the rest of the day all red, swollen, and itchy. I tried to persuade him to let me take a picture, but he understandably wasn't too interested in being photographed. Suffice it to say, his face puffed all up to the point that he looked like Rocky Dennis.


After spending the majority of Sunday afternoon in a Benedryl-induced haze, he seems to have pretty much recovered. He's home from  work today, and has begun work on his revenge: Operation Wasp Apocalypse. I tried to take a covert picture of his wasp extermination getup, but was once again rebuffed. Allow me to describe:

Hiking boots ...check!

Jeans tucked into hiking boots ...check!

Giant wool socks pulled up to his shins ...check!

Long sleeve shirt with pegged sleeves ...check!

Thick gloves ...check!

Nerdy goggles ...check!

Ski mask ...check!

Thoughts of murder and revenge ... check!

That sounds terrible but I would have loved a picture. Any more attacks? Do we need to call in the professionals?

The big wasp nest is dead and gone. I'm hoping that's the last of them. If not, we'll definitely consider some sort of professional solution. They're nasty little buggers, and NOT WELCOME.
