It seems like a hundred days since I last had the "energy" to post. I have been working every day--my first day off will be this coming Saturday---still a long way from today. My second (seasonal) job is taking a lot out of me. On Sunday, very busy, I was actually able to get into trouble and get out of it without asking for help. It felt great. The next day___well, you know how that goes. Terrible.
Today I was happy to be at the greenhouse. But I kept trying to touch the register screen to make things happen. Nothing happened. Wrong job.
I also have developed a skin irritation around my eyes that is very dry and can even start to burn. I am trying very hard not to touch my face with my hands. It could be anything from the soap at the seasonal job, to the chemicals on the clothing I am handling with customer orders. I have dry skin anyway and try to use the plainest products (fragrance free) on my face. I try and wash my hands before and after my breaks. My hands aren't dry. Just the skin around my eyes (eyebrows and corners) which I must be touching while I wait on customers.
On the way to work today, I even did an "errand". I haven't even had time to shop for groceries. So, this morning I made time to stop and buy deodorant and some new undies. I couldn't do without a day longer. LOL.
I noticed that G has picked more stuff in the garden. I am thinking I should make tomato jam with the weird tomatoes I have ripening on the porch. Sort of a spicy ketchup, but a jam. And today I was reading about jalapeño apple jam. Served on a block of cream cheese with crackers. But I don't have time to make jam.
Now, I am going to take a shower and apply medicine to my dry eyes. Perhaps the "dinner fairy" will provide a meal????
I just had some of that jalapeno apple jam on Saturday! It was GOOD. Take care, Joanie.
ReplyDeleteHey Mommer,
ReplyDeleteThat dry burning eye irritation is what I used to (and still) get, remember when I was young and I'd itch/rub my eyes and then get dry peels which would then turn into burning red if I kept messing with it and you would put some sort of gel/cream on it? In that teeny tiny silver tube that you rolled up at the end? Anyhoo, since I have been running and sweat, sorry glisten like the dickens while doing so, that irritation comes back and forth and I've found that applying Burt's Bees Hand Salve works wonders and feels heal-y when applied. Also that Burt's Bees oil that I got you, apply it on your lids right before you finish your shower. Both are keeping my eye issues at bay!
