Am using #GIS ( @qgis in particular) to offer insight into some #student trends ... attendance, achievement, all sorts of things. We started this with COVID to try to try to get ahead of outbreaks, but continue to explore other uses. For example, It's helped to place various supports in appropriate places within the community for students who may have transportation challenges. Any other interesting ideas for #schools and #education? @edutooters@edutooter
I had just dropped my housemate at work, and arrived back home. I went around to the back of the car to get some things out, and walked on the grass. I actually looked to see if there were bees or bindis, and was thinking about how lovely the grass is by the car port, and how I wish the rest of our grass was so soft and lush.
By the time I got to the front door, my second toe right foot was HURTING. I was trying to remember if I stepped on a stone or something, I'm usually really good at noticing things like that, especially since being a diabetic means you have to be careful with your feet.
I got into the house and sat down to have a look at my toe, now worried it was a spider bite because it was so sore, and could see a tiny little black spot sticking out. I thought it was a bindi so I sort of scratched it out of my foot with my fingernail - rookie error.
It was the bee sting, and scratching it out like that pushed the rest of the venom into my foot. If you find a bee sting you should use the edge of a knife blade to scrape it out so you don't squeeze the venom sac.
Once I had a closer look at the sting and realised what it was, I took a huge dose of antihistamines and popped some steroid cream on the site because I'm allergic to bees.. they worked, and I'm ok, just a bit phlegmy and a slight BP drop (102/58), but no anaphylaxis.
The pain has moved from the burning fire in the toe to a generalised ache in the whole foot and all I want to do is curl up and sleep for like 13 hours.
I was supposed to write today.. do you think I can email my lecturer and explain that my work might be late because I got stung by a bee and that's about all I can handle for one day?
If a black or brown #student got caught planning a mass #shooting at a house of #worship, I guarantee he wouldn't get off with a suspended sentence and a #bookReport. I'm all for restorative #justice, but the double standard this has illuminated is pretty stark.
Love as my printer decided to go Kaput this morning as I was trying to print out a paper due today. I was thankfully able to print it out in the computer lab this morning.
