• Well...turns out I've been ignoring my flowerbeds for far too long.

  I tried to clean them out this week, but it turns out I was too tired.  After about two days, Patrick and I decided to just hire someone to clean up the yard instead.  Turns out that's a great idea, but a little too late for me...

  Poison oak.

  Turns out we had some growing in our front yard that I just pulled out without even knowing what it was.  In fact, I just realized what it was last night.  Up until then, I just thought I had some really bad bug bites.

  I am in ichy pain...and it is not fun.

  Anyway, I'm off to feed Cara breakfast and then wrap up my arms again.  Have a nice weekend.

  Away!

   

  EDIT: I think it's poison ivy, not oak.  Either way, there were bunches and bunches of vines of it in the front flowerbed.  I know when we first moved in, the Orkin guy said we had some poison ivy in the backyard.  I guess it decided to migrate up front.

  So, off to clean my arms and put fresh bandages on.  It's the worst on my right arm, but I managed to get some on both arms, neck, left shoulder and on my face.  The stuff on my face isn't too bad, but there's a splotch of it right under my left eye, so I have to really try to not itch it.

  See you kids later!
