Um, the fort? Sam had told us that there was poison ivy around it the last time he was there. We looked for it, but didn’t see any. (I had no idea what I was looking for. ‘Leaves of three? What’s that to me?’)
I think I got into a little. My internet doctor says that it’s a delayed rash, which is about right. I noticed it on Wednesday, and the past few days I had some unbearable moments. I seem to be on the upswing now, though. Also, I panicked that we had bedbugs, then chicken pox, then a skin virus, so this put my mind right at ease. The bumps turned into little satellite fluid-filled blisters that weep when you finally give into the sweet, sweet relief of scratching them.
It’s all about the bright side, ain’t it?
Deborah says
Rats! I’m glad you’re on the upswing.
Brad says
AAAHH!! I’m so scared of poison ivy. When I was at the fort, I was experiencing serious jibblies.
Kristi says
Ack. Now do you know what poison ivy LOOKS like so that you don’t brush against it the next time?
Lauren says
Funny enough, I don’t. I don’t know what happened…..

Prayers for you sis. I’ve been fortunate not to suffer this particular botanical infliction.
Lauren says
Many thanks for the link and the prayers! I feel much better.
I do worry that my plant-stupidity will show. Once we had volunteer marijuana growing in the yard, and forever after I was questioning every sprout. They were all baby buckeye trees. I’m not a smart person. 😉
