So, here’s some free advice: if your child’s football goes deep into a copse of bushes and trees…just buy him a new ball. We went in to get ours and I’ve contracted a terrible case of poison ivy.

I’ve never had poison ivy before and my god, it is so horrible. It kept getting worse every twelve hours, so after a week I finally went to the doctor.

She put me on a steroid to help clear up the rash. She said that the medicine would make me irritable and nervous, make it difficult to sleep, and give me an increased appetite.

So…business as usual, I guess.
