the insect kingdom takes its revenge

I got stung by a fucking wasp today on my way home from Trader Joe's... I felt this intense piercing, stinging sensation on my ankle, so I looked down to see what it is... and this big horkin' huge yellowjacket is clinging to my sock for dear life. I flick the little bastard off, and immediately feel a sinking, cold feeling in my gut, as well as the intense pain in my ankle...

...limp home, have a few stiff drinks...

This is what I get for claiming not to have been stung by anything for more than 20 years, and I've never been stung by a wasp before. It hurts SO much more than a bee sting it's not even funny. Now my ankle is all swollen and red and it still stings 5 hours later, and hurts all the way across my ankle when I walk and my whole leg feels a bit funny.

These bullshit 21st century American urban problems... gah. That would be a shitty way to die - by thousands of wasp stings. It hurts like a tetanus shot hurts.

bugs, ouch, yawp, dammit!
