Sunday Funday: Sick, Bees, and Antibiotics 🤧🐝
This past week humbled me.
I’ve been sick for 7 days straight and my goals definitely took a hit.
Protein ❌
Steps ❌
Hydration ❌
I tried the whole pharmacy lineup:
OTC severe flu medicine, elderberry, zinc, vitamin C… and nothing worked.
To make it better… I lost my voice completely.
I can barely talk. When I try to speak from my diaphragm it triggers coughing and almost makes me sob. So now I sound like a broken squeaky toy.
Recovery has been slow and miserable.
Then Friday afternoon… life said, “Let’s add some spice.”
I suddenly hear LOUD buzzing coming from the fireplace.
At first I thought my sick brain was hallucinating.
Nope.
I look inside and see about 15 bees flying around like they just signed a lease in my chimney.
Sick Lena + bees = panic mode activated.
I told my partner:
“Grab the duct tape NOW.”
We sealed the fireplace like a crime scene so these mad bees wouldn’t come inside.
Brain fog was real so I did what any modern human does…
Asked ChatGPT for a bee specialist in Fountain Valley.
Bee guy shows up between 3–5pm… and by then the bees had already left.
Apparently Bee 101:
🐝 Swarms are usually scouting for a home
🐝 If you catch it early they haven’t built honeycomb yet
🐝 Sometimes they just move on
So basically… they were house shopping.
Fast forward to today — I finally walked into urgent care.
Doctor took one look at me and said:
“Yep… antibiotics and 3 days off work.”
So recovery continues.
Moral of the story:
Sometimes the universe forces you to slow down.
And sometimes… you get sick, lose your voice, AND host a bee open house in the same week.
Happy Sunday everyone.
Stay healthy and may your week be protein goals — not bee emergencies. 😆🐝
