Thursday Hustle: Bee Stings, Bin Avalanches, and Keeping the Commitment

🎵 Song of the Day: “Crocodile Rock” – Elton John

I was pulling weeds, minding my business, and bam—🎶 Crocodile Rock comes on. It’s a catchy bop, sure, but it wasn’t enough to distract from the sudden sting on my arm. 🐝 That’s right. A bee. I yelped. Tobito cheered. The Refried Avenger just nodded solemnly like I’d passed another test in the gauntlet of life.

“You got this!” they yelled from the patio like a couple of mascots for emotional endurance.

Meanwhile, my faithful four-legged raptor patrol cleared the yard of every feathered threat like it was Jurassic Bark. 🐕🦖

After that, I organized my storage unit—because why not add chaos to injury? As I shifted some old bins, Tobito suddenly screamed, “WATCH OUT!” 📦

It was too late. I got hit by a mini avalanche of my past, probably a bin full of DVDs and old shirts I swear I’ll fit into again one day.

Refried Avenger rushed over, pulled a plastic tub off my foot, and said, “That’s two near-death experiences today. Are we going for a trilogy?”

I was sore, but I still did cardio and weights. 45 minutes of each. Because the grind doesn't care about falling bins or kamikaze bees. 🏃‍♂️🏋️

We stopped by the store for dog food, water, and protein shakes. A quick essentials run… although Tobito still tried to sneak hot sauce and marshmallow fluff into the cart. “Fuel,” he claimed.

Later, as I nursed my arm and reorganized my bruised dignity, Tobito looked at me with his taco-shaped head slightly tilted. 🌮

“Why don’t you just quit? Like seriously. That was a lot of stuff today. I don’t think I could keep going.”

Refried Avenger gently patted his lettuce-wrapped shoulder.

“Because he’s building something. And it takes more than a rough day to stop someone who finally knows what he’s worth.”

And that hit me harder than the bins did. 💥

If today beat you up a little… just remember:

You’re still here. You’re still standing. And tomorrow’s a clean slate (unless you’re pulling weeds again).

Keep going. 🧡
