Georgie gets ready for a relaxing weekend...
Can you even beelieve that tomorrow it’ll bee October already? Geeeeeze, this Cool Season is going by fast, isn’t it? If things keep up like this, I wouldn’t bee surprised to find out it’ll bee time to celebrate Hallowe’en in about a month.
Well, I think I found a Therapy Bee for Kevin. And I’m sorry that I can’t tell you all about that right now, but I will when I come back on Monday.
In the meantime, I’ve promised ButterCup I’d spend the next few days watching sunsets with her.
So I’m gonna go do that - just as soon as the Sun starts going down, which usually happens just beefore it gets dark, for some reason. (I'm still trying to figure that one out, ya' know?)
Anyway. Until it does get dark, I'm gonna spend the rest of today indulging in some much-needed Recreational Screen Bouncing. It's perfect weather for it.
I hope everybody has a magnificently festive weekend!
I’ll see ya’ on Monday!
Georgie spent the day yesterday helping Junior and Harrizzzz...
So, when I went over to help Harrizzz and Junior build that coffin thingy they’re building the other day, I wasn’t sure exactly what they needed me to do. (I’m a very helpful bee, ya know.) So I asked Harrizzzz, “What do you need me to do?”
He told me to go ask Junior, so I did that, and he said, “Go ask Harrizzzz.”
So for about the first two or three hours, I was going back and forth, asking Harrizzzz and asking Junior then asking Harrizzzz again what they needed me to do.
Finally, Harrizzz said, “We appreciate your offer of help, bud, but we’ve got this.” Then he told me, “Tell ya’ what, bee, if you really want to help us, we need you to just hang out in a place you won’t bee in the way. If we need you, we’ll let you know.”
Then he helped me find a place to hang out. I dunno why I had to hang out upside down, but I’m guessing they needed me to do that in case they dropped something on the floor. (I was in the perfect position to pick it up for them, even though I did seem to bee hanging awfully high.
Finally, after about 10 hours, they decided to call it a Day, and left. Of course, they forgot I was there, so it was another hour beefore my calls for help were answered and I could finally go home for supper.
I don’t think I’ll go back there unless I’m highly sure they need my Expert Guidance on this thing. My ankles just can’t take it.
Anyway, today I’m gonna keep looking for a Therapy Bee for Kevin. If I don’t find somebody around here pretty soon, I’m just gonna hafta hook Kevin up with Online Therapy, and nobody wants that, probably.
Okay then. I hope everybody has a stunningly festive day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
Georgie's search for a Therapy Bee for Kevin beegins...
Ya’ know, I just hafta say that good Beehavioural Therapists are hard to find.
When I was out yesterday, trying to find somebody who might bee able to help Kevin (my Illegitimate Nephew) with his Larvahood Issues, I ran into a whole bunch of questionable Therapists.
One Therapy Bee told me to just tell him to start chanting.
“Chanting?” I asked him.
“Indeed, my child,” he told me.
“Yeah, okay, but I’m not your…” I started to day, but he interrupted me.
“It will only bee when he has beecome Harmoniously Aligned with his Innermost Cravings for Love and Affection that he will bee One with himself, and he will no longer find it necessary to hide in… what did you say it was?”
“An empty Bendy Straw box,” I told him.
“Yes, the empty Bendy Straw box is a reflection of the emptiness he feels inside, as he tries desperately to…”
I kind of tuned the guy out at this point, beecause I’ve seen Kevin eat, and I can tell you for sure he isn’t empty inside, so and told him I was late for an appointment to get my wings groomed, then I left.
The next Therapy Bee wasn’t much more helpful than the first one. She told me that what Kevin needs is to spend a whole bunch of time soaking in a cup of lukewarm yogurt and lavender and listen to Samba Music, and that after exactly six weeks, he’d bee fine. I dunno why that would work at all, so I probably won’t hire her. Beesides, even though we all love Samba Music, nobody around here likes yogurt, so we don’t have any.
I dunno. I’m gonna keep looking. I just don’t think I can put up with Kevin hiding in that empty Bendy Straw box much longer, ya’ know what I mean? It’s just creepy and it’s starting to smell weird.
Oh geeeeeeeze…I was gonna tell everybody about what happened the other day with Harrizzzz and Junior, when I helped them build that coffin thingy, but I hafta go now.
I’m late for another Therapy Bee Interview, so I’ll hafta tell ya’ all about that later.
I hope everybody has a insufferably vivacious day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
Georgie has an idea about how to help his Illegitimate Nephew...
So, I’ve got a great idea! I’m gonna find my Illegitimate Nephew a Beehavioural Therapist. I think it would help get him past his Fear of Hugs and Other Intimacy Issues so he can finally stop hiding in that empty Bendy Straw box. And I also think it’s highly necessary find him a Therapy Bee pretty soon, beecause I’m pretty sure that Gladys is starting to get suspicious.
“Where did Kevin go to?” she asked me yesterday afternoon.
“Uh… he’s in his..er…at his boxing lesson,” is about all I could come up with. (I really didn’t wanna get into this whole thing, and I wasn’t exactly lying, probably. I mean, he’s still in that box and everything, so… .)
“Well, I hope he gets back soon,” Gladys said. “I need to give that adorable, little drone a Big Hug!”
“If he shows up again, would you settle for a wingshake?” I asked.
“Heavens no!” Gladys said. “That cutie pie needs a Hug!”
So he’s still hiding.
Anyway, I was gonna tell ya everything that happened yesterday when I went over and helped Harrizzzz and Junior build that coffin thing, but right now, I hafta go find Kevin the help that he probably so desperately needs.
So I’m gonna go do that, even if it is only Tuesday.
I hope everybody has a legendarily ample day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
Kevin has Issues...
Ya’ know what’s special?
The first Monday of the new Cool Season, that’s what. And today is the first Monday of the new Cool Season, so that means that TODAY is special.
Okay, so you’ll probably remember that Great Grandma Gee Gee’s Third Cousin, Twice Removed, Gladys HoneyWings, showed up on Friday for Visit. I guess it’s been a long time since they’d seen each other, beecause when Gladys spotted Gee Gee, she gave her a huge hug - it was a tremendous hug, probably the biggest and most tremendous hug that anybody’s ever gotten.
“Blanche!” she buzzed as she kept hugging her. “Blanche, Blanche, Blanche! I’ve missed you so much!”
For a minute there, I didn’t know what was going on and thought that, maybee, this Gladys bee had just shown up at the wrong Boot Box. I wondered why she kept calling her “Blanche”…then I remembered, that’s Great Grandma Gee Gee’s real name: Blanche. (I keep forgetting that.)
After all that hugging, Gladys and Gee Gee started buzzing back and forth about a whole bunch of bees and things I didn’t know anything about, so I left.
Anyway, at one point later that day, I was sitting there, minding my own buzziness, when I noticed that an empty box of Bendy Straws was moving all by itself, which was highly unusual. So I investigated.
It turns out that Kevin (my Illegitimate Nephew) was hiding inside the box. He looked like he was highly distressed or something, so I asked him, “Are you highly distressed or something, Kevin?”
He peeked out from under the box and whispered, “Is she around?”
“Who?” I asked.
“Gladys!”
“Oh. No, she and Gee Gee went to Bees ‘R Us to pick up a set of new Spatula Cozies,” I told him. “They won’t bee back for quite awhile.”
“That’s a good thing,” he said.
“Why do you say that?” I had to know.
“I dunno, uncle. Every time she sees me now, she rubs my head and tells me how cute and utterly adorable I am. And if that isn’t bad enough, she’s a…she’s a… “ and then just kind started looking all nervous again.
“She’s a…hugger?” I took a guess.
“Yes! She’s a HUGGER, uncle!” he said.
“I’ve noticed that, too, Kevin. Is that a problem for you or something?”
“Well, it kind of is. You probably already know that I’m still grappling with some issues from my Larvahood which continue to remain unresolved, and that leads me to experience somewhat of a heightened level of anxiety when it comes to certain Dsplays of Affection,” he explained.
“Like hugs?” I asked. (Personally, I like those, so I really wasn’t sure what to say to him about all this.)
“Exactly, uncle. Hugs. But also Wing-holding, Head-Rubbing, sitting too close to me…and forget Bee Kisses. It just makes me feel…”
“Like finding a new job?” I asked, trying to change the subject.
“No… just generally uncomfortable. So I’m trying to avoid her until I can reconcile my Larvahood Issues,” he told me.
“So, what’s that gonna take, about a week or so maybee?” I was curious as to how long Kevin was gonna try to keep hiding from Gladys.
“Uncle Georgie,” he said, “you’re the best uncle in the world, and I love you, but that was a highly insensitive remark. You evidently are making light of my Larvahood Issues, and I’m going to say right now that I don’t appreciate it.”
Then he grabbed his box and left beefore I could apologise.
I think he probably went off to work on those Issues or something. I hope he resolves them soon, beecause Gee Gee just informed me that Gladys will bee staying with us at least until the end of the Cool Season. That’s a long time to bee hiding out from somebody you live with, right? I think it is.
Anyway, we’ve been having a pleasant Visit so far. Gladys is amazingly sweet and energetic and highly affectionate - and she likes to do dishes - so I don’t mind having her around at all.
Well, I need to cut this short today, beecause I hafta put on my Carpenter’s Assistant Togs and go help Junior and Harrizzzz build that Coffin I was telling you about last week. I am totally positive they need my help in a huge way, and I don’t wanna disappoint them (even though I’m already late and was supposed to bee there an hour ago).
So I’m gonna go do that.
I hope everybody has a sparkling fresh day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
