The past three days, I got more exercise than I needed - courtesy of a swarm of bees.
I'm just about to leave & run errands; I'm dressed, showered, got all pretty....I walk outside & see a swarm of bees outside the corner of my roof on the 3rd floor. Luckily, I went back in the house to check inside the living room on that floor. I see hundreds of bees inside, swarming on the living room windows. I'm not an expert but I think they were planning on building a hive. I know people who didn't know there was a beehive in their house until they saw honey dripping down the walls. By then, it's a costly repair. That's why I feel lucky that I saw the swarm outside before I left.
I don't like killing bees, but I figured I couldn't very well tell them to leave, so I got out the Raid & started spraying the window & a few other areas. I thought they might have come in from the chimney. Even though the flue is closed & I don't use the fireplace, there is a small gap, so I sprayed the fireplace too.
Here's where the "exercise" came in. I didn't move any furniture & things before I sprayed, so everything smelled like Raid, which I hate & it gives me a headache. I took another shower & shampoo, put everything I was wearing in the laundry, had to clean everything twice - watch, glasses, Medical I.D. Bracelet, etc. I had to clean everything - windows, window sills, doors, furniture, tables, a big piano, statues & a bunch of other stuff around the living room. Then I shampooed the carpeting & threw out some rugs that still smelled Raidy...
That was a more strenuous workout than 20 minutes on my elliptical.
