I was looking for vacation posts from last year and came across this one that was written just before we went.
What the hell is it with me, anyway?
“I have these weird patches of poison ivy on both of my legs.
And on my left arm.
The patch that was on my head seems to be gone. Thankfully.
I have been taking benedryl the last couple of nights to keep from scratching. It is not working that well. And the real pisser is that the patches on my calves not only itch, but they hurt like a bitch also when I scratch them. And heat makes them scream at me, “SCRATCH ME, SCRATCH ME.”
And then they hurt like hell when I do.
I am not getting this. And I am not happy about it.
Luckily, vacation is coming up in 10 days. I can’t wait.
Which is a stupid statement, because unless I hit the lotto this week, all I will be doing is counting down the days. But, I over explain.
Come August 18, my Wife, The Princess, and Pierce will be getting in the van and heading south to North Carolina. And the ocean. And sand. And alcohol for me. We will be carting along 2 cases of Dodd Legacy Red Ale for my imbibing pleasure. Haven’t figured out what we will be eating that first night, but think that either pizza might be the ticket.
Will let you know.
Namaste.”
At some point in my 50 years on this planet, you would think that I would learn.
Sheesh
