I have to say the weathermen here in Ohio are way off more than they are on. We listened to the 6am weather and no rain forecasted until late afternoon.
I had planned to ride into town this morning and do a few errands since I wasn’t needed for today’s project. Well by 7:30 it was pouring down rain. And I mean pouring hard. I couldn’t believe it. I got a late start into town waiting for things to dry off a bit.
I have come down with a bad case of poison ivy from the wood we worked in. So I went to an urgent care place to see if I could get something to help me. My anti-itch cream is not cutting it. I walked in and within a minute or two, the skies opened up again. Unreal.
I have poison ivy on my face, arms, and hands. Don’t know how I got it on my face because I wiped the sweat off with a bandana that didn’t touch my hands. But it is worse there than anywhere else. I woke up at 4am with the itching driving me crazy. So the doc gave me a nine day prescription for steroids to dry it up. Hope it works soon.
After lunch, I went home with Cathy to help with canning apples. We got a lot done before BJ came to take me home.
The guys were hauling gravel and they had at least four heavy rain showers from 7:30 til when BJ picked me up around five. Made their work less than fun to do.

Get a shot. I had it very bad once and after a week of trying to deal with it without any luck I got a shot and I cleared up over night. I’m surprised that the doctor gave you a cream because most likely you’ll get more “blossoms. In Florida that p. ivy grows in yards if you dont watch it and its common practice to get a shot which I hate too. But it’s one of those nuisance!

I actually was prescribed cortisone pills and I think I already see an improvement. The over the counter cream I used was my remedy which didn’t work.
