On my way to work this morning by bike as usual, a wasp flew straight into my mouth. After a struggle which involved me trying to gouge it out of my mouth whilst attempting to slow down and stop the bike (avoiding both the bushes/ditch on one side and cars/buses on the other), the Evil Creature stung me on the inside of my top lip.
Not nice. It was swelling up quite a lot, so I took a bundle of antihistamine just to be on the safe side, and got a short-notice GP’s appointment. The doctor basically did the ‘chocolate-teapot routine’ “Well, what do you expect me to do about it? The swelling will go away, you’ll be OK.”
A most excellent start to a Monday, thank you very much. Just wondering whether this is a karma ‘payback’ for something I’ve already done, or whether it’s just setting me up for something good in the next few days … 🙂
Updated Tuesday 7 September 09:50: And the day went from bad to worse when (a) I developed a nasty cold and (b) the chain on my bike broke on the way home from work. Come on karma-payback – bring it on!
bad things come in 3’s – so that’s you lot a little while…!
Permalinkhey hope you have a better day soon, davee 🙂
PermalinkTo quote the classic the song of old “Life is life”, just have to learn to live with it, bit off putting though. Could concrete over all the green bits an drive a car though.
Wasps are nothing, its hornets you should be weary of. Wasps sound like motorbikes, hornets sound like F1 cars.
Treat them like Princess Leia treated the “Truth” droid in Star Wars.
