Did some internet research. Based on the photos I looked at, and thinking of the plants we have in the alley, I do believe I got into Poison Ivy for sure, although we have some plants on the patio that look very similar to the Poison Sumac plants. Could be both. Knowing my luck...
Maybe you noticed I'd been a bit down lately. The yard work took the cake. On Friday I was staring at an overflowing trash can thinking to myself, "Didn't I just empty this? How can two people accumulate so much trash in such a short time?!"
I am in a slow downward spiral, that I know. I'm tired of chores, errands, cleaning, eBay and computer work. I stared at the pile of dishes in the sink, thinking to myself, "I've barely cooked this week! How can there be so many dirty dishes!"
I'm sick of getting groceries, cooking, cleaning up after supper, making lunches. Even the mundane is irritating. Monotonous. Never changing.
Not that I need any big excitement in my life. I'm just tired of my life revolving around chores and errands.
Go to the post office. Stop by the Dollar Store. Take out the trash (again). Figure out what to make for dinner....we only have burger in the freezer. I'm sick of hamburger. Go to work, go to the post office. Get gas.....
And then do some yard work because you-know-who won't and hasn't been able to because of knee. But even if the knee was OK, I'd still be doing it. So do the yard work and get a hideous, nightmare of an itchy rash that will be around for 3 weeks.
There's nothing to look forward to. Nothing. Another trip to the post office. Take out the trash. I suppose it could be worse. I could look like this guy:

Ewwwww... lol
Welcome to life as a housewife. **** it bites. :D
I WISH I was a housewife!! Why do you think I play the lottery now and then? Oh, to quit my job....I'd finally have the best yard (instead of the worst) on the block.
...because I'd OWN the block
HA HA!!
I have to say you have managed to make something as trivial and boring as mowing down grass to a fine adventure movie, full of action, tears, scars of battle wounds and other guilty pleasures:)
You are a talented woman indeed:)
Good luck getting over this poison ivy infection thingy. Hey, as you said, you could look like THAT guy and then I would have to shoot you relentlessly with my high caliber pea shooter (oh come on I know you cracked a smile, this was so silly after all,lol) on pure principle.So you are one lucky woman it seems:)
Take care!
It sucks so bad to get poison ivy. Because I can't control my scratching I just get it infected!
I am (luckily) not allergic to poison ivy or poison oak, but my hubby gets it ALL the time and he is so pitiful with it...hopefully yours isn't as bad as what he normally gets!
