The store was a great idea--I'd been wanting the cowl and the toga both, and now I've got them and there'll be a bit more $$ waiting for you, Dodger, next time you're conscious enough to collect it ;) A lukewarm bath with 2 cups of oatmeal thrown in will help to sooth the hives, though it makes an incredible mess. Try to avoid hot water entirely--it makes the itching worse.
