Wednesday

Last night, lights out, I settled in to fall asleep and was struck by not itching! For the first time in months. Nothing itched. It was amazing. One application yesterday morning and I'm cured. Ok, so maybe a bit premature. But... still. I haven't lathered up yet today but I will right after I finish this entry. I did find that CeraVe (how the hell is that even pronounced??) does have an itch relief lotion but I'm not even sure I need that.

Today's baseball game is at home at noon:30. The stadium workers were heading in to work when I came back from the pool. Today is the day the house cleaner is scheduled. Last week I sent her an email inviting her to skip it today since traffic will be an issue and parking. The traffic is not quite as bad since the Viaduct reopened early but still, she always bitches about parking. So I told her just to skip today.

I hear nothing back so I have no idea whether or not she'll be here today. I'd really like her to be a little more reliable and easier to communicate with but, I'm not going to worry about it. However, if she does come and does her usual bitch about parking/traffic, at least I can say I tried.

If she does come, even with game traffic, I'm heading out to Costco. I need bacon and their bacon bits. I tried a couple of the grocery store's bacon bits options and, they don't get it. Costco does. And I'm out. If the house cleaner doesn't come I'll do Costco bacon tomorrow.

Obsessed

All I can think about today is how I don't itch. I feel like my back and legs and torso and a host of other body parts have itched severely forever and now none do. It's amazing. Also looking at my hands, while sewing or typing, they aren't crackling claws of dried skin. I no longer care about how you pronounce Cereve. I only care about making sure I have it always available.

The house cleaner did not come today after all. Which is fine. Every two weeks is really too often. Once a month is not often enough. Once every 3 weeks is too difficult to keep track of. She'll be here in two weeks and I'll be profoundly grateful.

I signed up for Facebook when it first started. I never figured it out and then, one day, my sister sent a friend request. Rather than step up to sending her a NO or just ignoring the request, I just closed the account. Now, all these many years later, Facebook still has all the issues that made me run away originally. But more and more, content providers are moving their content there. I just saw a piece by NPR about all the content they are starting up there and several other news outlets are serving offering Facebook only content. I really wish it wasn't so. There really is no way, at the point, I'll ever log into Facebook. I just hope there is some internet left for the other two people in the world who aren't on Facebook and me.

Afternoon baseball. Dolls so far today:
