could it really be poison ivy?

okay. i know. this is not blog worthy at all. but i cant stand it. it appears that i have somehow gotten poison ivy. it is rapidly taking over and i cant take it! i dont remember the last time i had poison ivy, but i can tell you right now that whoever said that you shouldnt itch it is out of their minds! it itches so terribly badly how can you not give in to the pain of it all??? not that itching it ultimately helps in the end. i'm afraid it makes it worse, which means i have made my case HORRIBLY! worse! i dont know how to say no. i mean, unless i'm asleep, i'm 100% aware of this insanity. it wont go away, the benadryl is not helping like the pharmacist said it would! and whoever made aveeno itch cream and said it would actually help should be fired, as it does no such thing. i dont know how to make it go away. it's so sad. plus, the benadryl isnt even making me tired anymore, which would lead me to think i should take it during the day, but with my luck, if i took it tomorrow, i'd fall asleep driving back to little rock and that would be bad. it's a lose-lose situation as far as i can tell. unfortunate to say the least. not to mention, where did i get this poison ivy from? unless it was last week when i was adventuring through a random old quarry with my adventure buddy and we regularly remarked that we should watch out for poison ivy. i guess i need to learn my leaves, and wear gloves so that i cannot itch anymore. it's bad. and it's driving me crazy. thank you for letting me get that out :)
