Camping Trip

Went camping on the weekend of Aug 22. Had a really good time around the campfire roasting marshmallows, playing riddle games, lounging on the shores of Lake Tahoe and jumping off the pier for a COLD swim, but there were some issues too, like the boat engine blowing out on the guys, getting in trouble by the ranger about illegal firewood, which was so embarrassing I won't elaborate beyond that, and complaints about our noise level the first night. All in all, everyone had fun and the kids keep talking about going back, so there's definitely more of that to come next summer. Oh, and I think I got over my fear of poison oak. My rash finally went away. My dermatologist, who I vow never to go back to because he came across a bit pompous and very impersonable, wanted to treat me for scabies even though my skin test came out negative for it, and the symptoms were different. But, since he couldn't come up with any other diagnoses he wanted to be able to rule out scabies completely. However, I kept forgetting to pick up the cream and the rash went away on its own, so I left it at that. If it comes back I'm just going to see a new doctor.
