i'm still working on the barnabas post, so please be patient. But i think i figured out what all this itch is about!

I have poison ivy. I'm positive of that. The only question was how I got it on my forehead, eyelid, neck and ear.. and forearms!!

The culprit: my pillowcase. . . .the traitor...

We went camping one night and we took our pillows with us. At one point during the trip, our pillows were on the ground, and I guess my pillow got onto a plant.

So I think that pretty much cracks that case. I shall continue to itch . . . and I will keep my antihistamines close and my caladryl closer. :o)
