spring...

Lots of meetings this week, films and music, not so much. I've been focused this week on editing, reading and commenting on Kat's script, visiting people from out of town, summer girls film making camp and in between all that, dreaming about the upcoming trip to France.

Last night, had a crew of friends over to welcome Karen back to Austin for the week. It was great. We had pizza and we made chocolate chip cookies and stayed up late and talked.

Spring is here. The Wisteria is blooming right off my front porch, I love the fragrance and with all the rain, it's been amazing.

Still, with spring comes small dangers.
I went on a walk last Sunday with Kat and Ryan. It started raining, so we ducked into a rocky overhang on the Shoal Creek trail and settled in for a bit for shelter and just to watch the rain. On Monday night I started itching a bit just on the back of my right leg. On my run with Karen this morning, I ran right past our little rain shelter and sure enough, there was a patch of Poison Oak. It's important to remember when out in the woods: leaves of three, let them be. Don't get so caught up in watching the rain and smelling the wisteria that you don't see the poison oak/ivy.

Hey there. Large doses of vitamin C will alleviate the poison oak symptoms - take it from the former landscaper/plant nursery superviser. If you take (3) 1000 mg pills of vitamin C a day, the itchiness, inflamation, etc. should begin to subside within about 24 hours. This was the remedy I finally learned after repeated bouts with the itchy devil. :)
