The Itchy and Scratchy Show

Well, after much work chopping out brush and vines and all other manner of shrubberies, I was able to clear out the intersection where two roads meet on our property. It looks so much better and it is very nice to be able to tell when a car is coming. A hazardous situation has been rectified. HOWEVER, in the process of my insanity to complete this job, I came down with a quite severe case of posion oak. I want to rip my arms and face off, for that is where the leaves apparently brushed against. Needless to say, I am now on Prednazone – a cortical steroid which apparently inhibits the swelling and inflammation of the skin and causes the immune system to back off and not over react like mine is. I hope it works soon … real soon.
