Antihistamine induced haze

I’ve gotten into something in the woods again.  Remember a few years ago when I got something that we thought was poison ivy but the doctor said it wasn’t and treated it with cortisteroid cream which made it 100 times worse (I think it was feeding on that stuff) and when I finally went back to the ivy dry it cleared up but not without another trip to the doctor and some nasty antihistamine pills (that would drop an elephant at 100 paces) and a super powerful steroid shot and pill (that make you one angry elephant at 100 paces)?

*breath*

So, I got into that stuff again – I think.  It’s not poison ivy because Erik and Bill did not get it and they both are extremely allergic to it – they just look at it and they start to itch!  But it’s some sort of contact dermatitis and it itches like crazy!  I’ve been slapping it for days (as apposed to scratching since that just opens the blisters and spreads the stuff) and it  was just not cutting it last night…. So I took a pill. 

OMG!  This stuff will seriously knock you on your ass asleep.  I slept the sleep of the dead last night and this morning I’m barely conscious.  This is supposed to be a 6 hour pill and I took it at 11 so theoretically it should be out of my system by now – but it lingers - lurking around the corner of my consciousness poking at the backs of my eyeballs causing them to close.  The drive in was interesting!

Yes, I’m at work.  You see I’m doing this instead of actually working because I can’t guarantee the outcome of such an endeavor!  But alas, I’m going to have to take lots of walks today, drink something caffeinated (not coffee – Blaugh!  Cant stand that stuff) and hope for the best.
