Things I Would Not Wish Upon My Worst Enemy...

Jory & I before my crazy skin ailments

Okay, so I don't have any enemies (that i know of), or worst enemies for that matter. There are people I don't care for, but having an enemy is just a bit drastic. That being said, I had poison oak this week and it was the single most painful skin ailment I have ever had. So painful in fact, that it prompted me to say that I would not wish it upon my worst enemy (a phrase I have never used before). I think I have extra sensitive skin, because it was a really bad break-out!

A little background for you, I went to Humboldt over the weekend, and in the lovely hot weather decided to wear shorts (something else I rarely do), well on this blissful weekend my short-wearing self got in contact with something that had poison oak oils on it. It flared up a day or two later and left me with searing pain on none other than the back of my thighs! It is such an uncomfortable and painful skin ailment! I would warn everyone not to come in contact with the plant or the oils, but I myself do not know how I am came in contact with them!

I'm just happy that it is healing and just in time for the weekend! This should be a fun 3 day weekend! I hope I'm able to have a few drinks, even though I'm still taking meds for my poison oak. Hmmm, I just won't over due it. It is a celebratory weekend though! I have three friends graduating from college, a bachelorette party to attend, and fun in the sun for memorial day!

Congrats to all my girls that are graduating! I am so so proud of you and I wish you much luck in all your endeavors!

Was there anything fun to do in Arcata besides chatting up with Mary Jane and the Humboldt gang?
