Rash On The Face.... It’s So Cool

Yep… that’s right I’ve got a rash on MY FACE. You guys…

I woke up this morning at o’dark hundred as per usual, turned the shower on, started to brush my teeth and that’s when I saw it. MY FACE! My eye is swollen and I have a rash under my left ear, around the edge of my left eye, down the left side of my face, and on the edge of my bottom lip. I immediately went back into the bedroom, woke Mr. Gil up, declared a state of emergency and that he needed to come and see this….NOW. So he begrudgingly got out of bed and confirmed my face/eye was indeed swollen. In retrospect, I’m pretty sure he was annoyed with me but I NEEDED him to see it RIGHT THEN. It absolutely could not wait. (sorry babe!)

Upon further inspection I’m fairly positive that it’s poison ivy. How did I get poison ivy on my FACE you ask? That’s a really good question. Right now my theory is that someone snuck into my bedroom and rubbed it all over my face while I was sleeping… kind of like an evil poison ivy fairy if you will. That OR when we were at the Townhouse on Sunday afternoon and I was weeding the garden I yanked some out, touched my face, and then washed it off my hands thus preventing further spreading. Not sure about that second theory though.. sounds a little too farfetched if you ask me.  

So yes.. I have a rash on my face with a swollen eye. It’s a pretty awesome day to be me. Try not to be jealous.

Mrs. Gil
