I would do that bath thing if our tub would hold water. Alas, no baths here.

Have not been around poison ivy, oak or sumac. Did not go to work today so it's not that.

Went to regular doctor. Different steroids, dose and length of time. There does not seem to be an obvious reason like food or soap or contact with something new. It could possibly be viral but I have no other symptoms. She drew blood to run an allergy panel. As of now, it is idiopathic. A benedryl stops the reaction. Glad I had pictures to show her from the other day when it was real bad. Weird part is that it starts about 10-15 minutes after I wake up. Guess I'm allergic to waking up.

 Have you been around wild parsnip? Hogweed?

 I don't think so.  The only plants I've been around is my own yard.  Three weeks ago I was in Florida.  That is the only thing that was out of the normal routine.

It does not even persist all day.  Right now, I just have a few small rash marks/dots where the hives and welts were.  And I only took one children benedryl and the steroids.

 I do the laundry and shopping.  No changes there.  I've had the same bottle of shampoo and conditioner for about 2 months (large bottles).   No changes in soaps.  If there is someone else's perfume in my bed, DH is in big trouble.  Believe me, between DH, the doctors at Urgent care on Tuesday and primary today, and myself, we cannot come up with any reasonable explanation.  Especially with it being so isolated to my thighs and knees and the timing of when it happens.

Flan, great to hear DH is home, he will be so much better tomorrow.

When I came home from work, the "companion" I hired for DD was here along with a friend of DD. The house was messy and the girls were loud. I had to put dinner away, clean counters, take the dog out to poo, etc. I really needed my space and some calmness. I swear the life is sucked out of me at work. I am very busy and need that time at the end of the day to relax. I think next summer I will hire a housekeeper/babysitter type person so my house will be in order when I get home.

I'm thinking about going back to school to get my MBA. I think there is a good chance I can get my boss to agree to pay for it. But it totally scares me to try. What if I fail the GRE? What if I can't do the work?

 When I went for my MBA I bought a study guide for my GMAT test.  It really helped.  I went through everything once and highlighted the areas I had trouble with and focused on those.  Also, when you right the essay, your lead in paragraph should state the argument and 3 points about it, then follow with a paragraph for each point, then wrap it up with a conclusion.  I did that and received a letter in the mail that my essay was off the charts.  I am not a writer but got that tip from a professor.

 Do it!  Especially if someone else is paying for it.  You can do this.

Since IKWTDS bailed on me next weekend, we're trying to give away her pass.

I know...life happens. I'm just messin with you!!!!!

 Yes you can do it DG. If I could do it so can you.  I am no one special, not smarter than the next person.  I just prepared for it.  Prepare!  Be a scout.  

You would be surprised...

When I took some homemade jam to women's group one of the women put the ring on and then the lid. I caught her but didn't realize she had put the other jar in my bag already. When I got home she had done the other one the same way. I had a huge sticky mess. She said she had never seen a mason jar before.

I had to replace my water cup today. I opted to get one of those mason jar cups with the straw and screw-on lid. Guess what the bottom of the cup says? "Not for canning" Really?! So a PLASTIC cup with a HOLE in the lid would not be good for canning? Who knew?!

 LOL.  There are stupid people out there.

I call them idiot warnings. Like the one on bleach that says not for internal consumption. Ya think?!
