The title has absolutely -nothing- to do with this entry, fyi. It just happened to come out of Alton Brown’s mouth as I was sitting here, staring blankly at the title bar, waiting for inspiration to strike. It never did, so I’ll snag his words. Thanks, Alton!
It’s been an interesting week thus far, and it’s only Tuesday. Monday, I left work early to go to a doctor’s appointment to see if she could give me something stronger to stop this annoying continual itching (poison ivy). Trip accomplished; no change in the itching. I took today off work because it’s supposedly the worst of it and I cannot sit still and work on something. All I do is squirm and itch and feel uncomfortable while itching because co-workers look at me like I’m passing contagious cooties (which the Doctor assures me I am not, thankfully!)… so yes, I stayed home today. Tony and I had a lovely day.
I have needed a trim for a while, so I managed to get into my hair dresser’s today. We talked about the itch and the cream and he said to toss it; just use Preparation H. Never would have occurred to me – but we went to the drugstore immediately afterward and got some. Amazing! I’m a convert. I’m still itchy but it’s greatly reduced and instantly calmed the minute I smear on some more Preparation H. I cannot complain.
The pictures are from Sinnissippi Gardens. Tony and I took a drive into Rockford on Sunday and had a lovely time. The weather was wonderful, the company was grand and we greatly enjoyed our day. I have so many pictures that I never know what to put up or print up. When someone asks if I have a favorite, I always say yes – but it’s hard. They are all my favorites. It’s why I keep them!
