I
woke up early and realized I had some itchy blistering on my left hand. Poison ivy was back! I hoped that I hadn’t touched myself in a
dozen different places as I had last summer when it had ravaged my body from
head to toe. I didn’t think so, but the
next few days would answer that question.
Holly
had been weeding for a couple of hours and kindly left them in piles throughout
the yard for the ‘weed fairy’.
“It’s
so cool. I pull weeds and just drop
them. I come back later and they’re
gone,” she said.
“That
is cool. I think Mimi has a ‘weed fairy’
too,” I said.
Her
piles didn’t include poison ivy I was pretty sure. My sister from Kentucky was arriving around
noon and I was in charge of the waffles…made from scratch, of course…but I
figured I had time to be the ‘weed fairy’ and get the lawn done with a
cleansing dip in pool to boot. I made it
with moments to spare.
Waffles
with whipped cream, butter, strawberry sauce, and real maple syrup and some
bacon for good measure make an excellent training meal. I downed mine and then prepared for a ride
with Kim. We went for almost two hours,
though I can’t honestly say that I’d worked off the entire meal. I did my final dip for the day with the
cycling clothes on - which is easier than washing them - before dinner. For me, that amounted to little more than a
smoothie. I needed to get something good
in my system.
