So my poison ivy is back. My left arm was covered in weeping blisters and was swollen up to twice its normal size. I ahd another spot in my armpit and all over my chest, and one on MY FACE. Neither of the doctors at the campus health clinic could tell me what it was. I had to go to a specialist and pay ninety bucks to be told that I had poison ivy. . .
How I got it is a total mystery. I'm guessing some of the oil stayed on some clothes (it stays active for several years) and got on my arm. Or. . . and this seems more likely since I've not been completely un-itchy since the advent of the ivy. . . I never completely purged it from my system, and the stress, lack of sleep, and diet change triggered it.
Either way, I'm on Prednisone, Cephalexin, Benadryl, pain killers, and vitamin C with bioflavanoids. I am doped out of my mind. I've been taking three 60mgs of the steroid which has me juiced. Add the antibiotic, and I've got a terrible tummy ache. :-(
In other news:
School rocks. I love my friends. I'm looking forward to my social research project (I will post my final findings).
I got a new job. Quit the bar/restaurant and got a bertending job at a little bistro about fifteen minutes south of town. Looking forward to starting.
I need to go do homework, so you kids take care.
Pace stir-fry.
Question: How old were you when you lost your virginity?

Do you feel like smashing stuff?
Prednisone will do that.
And it's spelled "repartee".
One time, my ex-boyfriend and I were traipsing around in Riverside Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. We were crawling through bushes to get to some blackberries (and to get a closer look at a mysterious homeless peoples' shantytown set up in a hidden part of the park). A Parks Department employee came up to us and said, "Uhhhh. All that stuff you're walking around in is poison ivy. This stuff here, that stuff, over there, and over there." He was probably imagining us after we got home, writhing in agony and scratching all over whilst sobbing. It was a miracle we never were affected, or that we managed to avoid touching it altogether. It's some insidious stuff as you've shown!
