I have been suffering from poison ivy on my face and neck. I don't know if I got it from petting the dog and touching my face or if I handled wood that had been in it but it has been most horrible. Finally, today, which is day three, I just couldn't stand it any longer and went and got a cortisone shot.

Saturday, we are having family Thanksgiving. I will do the turkey and such. It is always a lot of fun. Friday night there is a play at O.U., Pride and Prejudice and I am looking forward to that also.

At the last minute, I am starving myself in order to fit back into a beautiful sea foam green chiffon pants outfit.
I am doing Dr. Atkins and in 6 days I have lost 6 lbs. I know it is all water but I only need an inch off to get into my pants. I am going to be very strong at our Thanksgiving dinner.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
