Good lord. I've developed an allergy to tomato *plants*. Not tomatoes -- I'd probably die if I had an allergy to tomatoes because I wouldn't stop eating them -- the PLANTS. As if it wasn't bad enough already that every single time I go to the garden I get half a dozen mosquito bites but now the harvesting of my golden, red, striped, and pink goddesses is causing me to break out in itty bitty bumps. Thankfully, they don't itch *too* much.

At this rate, I'll be breaking out from too much tomato acid and have to take a break for a couple of days. In the middle of peak season.

You know, you get no sympathy from me on this. Because I'm a jealous bitch. And bumps or no bumps, you still have fresh-from-the garden, juicy, delicious tomatoes.

I on the other hand have menstrual cramps, a headache, and no tomatoes.

Poor you! I've got a headache too, our air quality is in Amber Alert. I feel like I'm half-stoned and half-hungover, I'm not either one. It's awful

I do not miss the air quality issues back east. (They have that crap out here too, of course, down on the Front Range. But not up where I'm at, thankfully.)

::enjoys the head rub::

sorry you've got cramps. vitamin I -- maybe a heating pad? I can never get my hands on a heating pad when I most need one.

I took some drugs. They've mostly taken care of the cramps. But the headache, not so much.

Ugh. I'm supposed to go fundraising tonight for SAR. We've got these weekly concerts in the park and I just don't think I'm going to make it. The idea of a jazz band blaring on the stage next to me makes it even less appealing than the usual torture of dealing with kids.

I don't even own a heating pad. I used to keep those ThermaCare wraps in my desk drawer back in DC. They are so awesome. I might have to get some of those again, now that I'm back to a regular desk job all day.

I think the best bet it is to get someone *else* to do the harvesting!

WTH? That sucks! But I'm glad you're not allergic to the delicious Fruits, at least!

Oooh, and I thought of you, I have little green cherry tomatoes! Exciting!

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

They're so wonderful to eat straight off the vine.

Yuck! That's such a bummer. Maybe there's some other variety that doesn't have the little bits that irritate your skin? Or maybe you can put on some heavy lotion before you go out in the garden, to help protect your skin?

I think the best is to have someone else do the work

If you're interested in bug repellent clothing, email me & I'll hook you up with my work's discount. It's not very cute clothing, but it works.

Thank you! Would you mind sending me the website and I'll look at what you've got and get back in touch with you.
