Cool.

Last night sucked. My skin allergies are so bad this time of year that I'm perpetually itchy and have trouble getting comfortable even at the best of circumstances. Add a fussy dog and stressed out FI to the mix, and I hardly got any sleep at all last night.
But I still dragged my ass out of bed 3 hours before my usually wake-up time for an online "meeting" with a company I might work for, and got all pretty and sat down at the computer with all of my stuff ready...
...and it turns out the meeting is tomorrow. I'm an idiot.
Anyone else done something stupid lately?

Re: Cool.
I've also been sleeping on the couch lately with working two jobs bf seems to get bored at home by himself and has been drinking a beer or two which makes him snore. Not so fun when I cannot sleep.
That so sucks about the mix up. At least you were a day early and not a day late!
[QUOTE]That sucks about the whole skin thing. My skin is extremely dry this time of year and lotion does not seem to help.

<div>True that.</div><div>

<div>Me too. </div><div>
</div><div>Here's a recent example: My external hard drive hasn't been working for about 9 months. When I plugged it in, my computer didn't recognize that it was there. It didn't matter, since I wasn't really using my computer for anything important, but since I'm back in class now, I needed it to work. Monday night, I marched downstairs to where FI was sitting and announced that I needed him to plug it into his computer to see if it was just something with my USB port or if it was actually effed. As I was talking, I was jiggling the cord around in my hand, and noticed that it wasn't actually plugged into the hard drive all the way. It's been like that the whole time - there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, I'm just dumb. </div>
Life is good today.
[QUOTE]Elle, have you tried taking an oatmeal bath? I swear by this when my eczema gets bad. I don't have a tub anymore though

<div>I looooove oatmeal baths and they work wonders.</div><div>
</div><div>(I don't buy the Aveeno packets, though. I buy regular old quaker in those cardboard tubes, throw in the food processor until it feels like powder, and voila! I've also found that adding some oat <em>bran</em> really helps. It doesn't dissolve, but you can pick up clumps of it and rub it on your skin and it's so soothing.)</div><div>

<div>Does it really work? Because I have been dealing with bad eczema for the first time this winter. Our tub is kinda gross, but if it really helped I might just make the effort to try and make it a little more inviting...How long do you soak for? And do you rinse off afterwards?</div>

<div><div style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;background-color:initial;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font:normal normal normal 11px/14px Arial, sans-serif;">It really, really helps. I would just lay in the tub until the water starts to get colder (maybe 20 minutes?) & I would rinse in the shower afterwards. I think if you leave it on it'll be really sticky. Also, the relief is only temporary, it's not a cure or anything. </div></div>
Has anyone else seen the Seinfeld episode where Kramer says he feels like he's "marinating" ?? Yea, that's what I feel like.
