The Princess and the Ivy

Finally, went to the doctor after another sleepless night of itchy poison ivy.  I have tried hydrochloride cream, calamine lotion (pretty pink) and benadryl ... notta, the bright red dots persist to ITCH.  So, I cannot not pee in a cup at any athletic event cuz the cure for poison ivy according to my doctor is to take steroids, two pills over the next four days.  Darn, I was going to run a full marathon event this weekend; I'll have to postpone my athletic endeavor.  (Kidding of course; about the marathon not this Ivy.) 

There was a fairy tale I enjoyed as a little girl entitled "The Princess and the Pea".  Legend says that a girl was accused of not being royal but she proved her bloodline because her delicate royal blood birthed her with skin so sensitive that she could feel a pea under several layers of mattress'.  She could not sleep because of a tiny pea.
So hey, maybe I'm of royal blood? 
What? 
Poison Ivy doesn't count? 
Are you telling me that I suffer the aliment of the massess????   Drats, that is just not right.
