It seems that I'm particularly susceptible to poison ivy. Greeeeeat.
She says that it's likely to get worse each time I'm exposed, too, so pooky has decreed I'm not allowed in Beth's yard. (I wonder if this is at all related to the mild hives I get from evergreen sap?)
I do feel better now that we're attacking the root of the problem. I hope that, with a little help from the modern pharmacopaeia, my healing factor will be able to knock this bugger out by the time I leave for SF.
(Oh, and the financial grumblings from t'other day are resolved. So I am more sanguine about things.)
