Im ok and back home and taking benadryl.

Karma works in weird ways...

On my way out, i stopped by a distressed motorist on side of road to check on him. He said he'd been there since the morning calling AAA and getting the run around. I offered him some of my ice water to stay hydrated while waiting for the tow. After leaving a Jerrdan truck was pulling up.

I continued my ride and eventually decided to head back. While riding down and up hills some insect slammed my lip and i hear the buzz and a prick. My heart rate was already in max zone from the ride thus far and watch shows my heart rate climbing further. I get to an intersection and take a break. Keep doing a hill at a time until i get to a convenience store.

I look in and its dark. I wait there a few minutes to try to lower heart rate. Gets down to about 165. A gentlemen in a pickup comes and I ask him if he could do me a favor and take 5 bucks and buy me a bottle of water. He does so and asks me if I need a ride. I accept and he drives me the rest of the way back. He mentions hes allergic too and recommends I take benadryl and have some with me on future rides. I thank him and we shake hands and he departs.

A good day of human connections
