poison ivy!

Just as I lean down to give Marla Truex Jr. pets, John says "Wait! She was laying over there, poison ivy is over there!" Too late, I already petted her.  24 hours later: both forearms blistery rash.  24 hours later: The whole chest and torso are covered with hives. GREAT.  If no improvement by tomorrow, we are spending Saturday morning at urgent care for a steroid dose pack.  Lovely. For those who are curious...that's why I don't garden lol.  The last time this happened I had a talk in San Diego on the heels of getting exposed to it in Harwinton.  Yes, I should have been a princess in this life.
