Well, I'll admit it, it's more than poison ivy

I don't know what yet, but my arm is swelling up like a balloon - more and more. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 10:30 am, but that's the soonest I could get in. I called midday, but they were booked. So, I used a sharpie to mark the outline of the swelling and it is expanding beyond that... and expanding away from where I have poison ivy. Not good.

I've been taking antihistamine so the itching is subsiding, but the swelling is getting worse. Darn it! I have no fever or anything, but something is up, obviously.

So, the day didn't go as I planned. I worked for work today and then when the heat came down I worked for a bit outside. I still have so much to do and this heat and this rash and now this swelling isn't helping me any, that's for sure!

I did sleep last night though, but my eating was at maintenance level once again. Seems when my stars aren't aligned in a row lately, I'm not making the best of decisions. Shame on me!!! I need to get back on track!
