She has it bad

Poor Court. She's got a nasty case of poison ivy. She is suffering, especially at night.

Last night she tried Zanfel and it seems to be working. Her legs look way better today than they did yesterday. Had she used it right from the start, I think she'd be over the worst by now.

Another treatment tonight ought to clear up her rash. I hope so anyway. I hate to see her suffer, especially since she was exposed while mowing our lawn, which is my job.

I spent today playing homemaker (I'm exhausting all of my time off from the college, including sick days). I did a lot of purging and have a bunch of stuff to take to Goodwill (including a perfectly good towel warmer that we have no room for). I unpacked and laundered the rest of our summer clothes and boxed up our winter wear. It's late to be doing this, but it has been an uncharacteristically cold spring in Virginia. And we've both been so busy with soccer games, guitar lessons, travel, and second jobs.

It was a breezy, sunny day today; a perfect day for hanging laundry outside to dry. I just love the smell and feel of line-dried clothes. And line-dried sheets are to die for. Unfortunately, with road construction right next door, there is just too much dust flying around for that. It could be next summer before I can hang laundry out to dry. Damn.

Sorry Courtney has poison ivy- that Zanfel soap is what they recommended for N when he had it a couple weeks ago. Glad to know it helps-I have to keep some around for the next time N goes camping

EEK! Poor Court. I hope the suffering abates soon. And, enjoy your paid time away from the working place, Trop. Coolness!

Ugh, poor Court!

We love the smell of line dried laundry, too. Last weekend we were talking about whether or not to put up a clothesline out back.
