Have you ever wondered what others think about you?
Today, I’m wondering this. If you look at me, my right ear is crimson. Frequently, I rub my ear and scalp.
My work environment is very subdued. There’s very little noise or wild gesturing. I know my behavior is suspicious.
Does she have head/body lice, ear mitts, bed bugs? Can I catch it?!
I can feel the anxiety rising around me.
If anyone dared ask, I’d explain. I got stung by yellow jackets; in the head and on the ear. The wounds take turns; itching and burning. Ouch!
Did they even notice?
