A crappy souvenir
Adam and I didn't bring much back from Jamaica with us - I think we were one of few on the plane without duty-free booze. We brought back some coffee for when friends stay with us, a Cohiba for my dad, and some jerk marinade for Adam... there wasn't really anything that I wanted, so I came back empty handed. Seems I brought back something after all - POISON IVY! And its all over my mouth.
What I'd like to know is "which drink did me in?" - It must have been something I ate or drank over the past few days, probably Monday, that did me in. To my knowledge, I wasn't running around in a drunken stupor making out with trees, so what else could it be???
I am highly allergic to poison-ivy, have been since high school. The worst part is that I always seem to get it on my face -- although getting it on my lips is a new adventure. When I was in 10th grade, the posion ivy was so bad that my eyelids actually swelled shut. Not a pretty sight. Actually, now that I think about it, my aunt & uncle were kind enough to take a photo of me looking my best.... maybe, I will scan and upload tonight.
SO, yesterday afternoon, when the poison ivy was just starting to show itself, I made an appointment with the doctor for this morning. If I don't get some drugs soon, I can see this spreading like crazy. Yuck!
