1-My mom got to come home today. I’m really happy that she’s home, but… well you know. She’s driving me insane with “Well you didn’t do things EXACTLY THE WAY I DO THEM and so I have to do everything over again!” “Mom, no you don’t.” “But the towels! Look at them!” “Uhm, who cares how the towels are folded? And besides, those are MY towels, which are going in my room!” “Well okay then. But when you washed the dishes did you wash the forks before the knives?”
GAH!
I love her. I’m really happy she’s home. I will write that 1000 times on the blackboard I promise.
2- The stupid eczema (click for all the different types I get to enjoy– isn’t this fun?) isn’t going away (it’s never COMPLETELY gone) but thanks to some of the suggestions I’ve gotten here, I remembered that when I was a kid my doctor used to prescribe stuff with urea (yes, that’s from pee. I’m as grossed out as you are. It’s also included in cigarettes to enhance the flavour. Boy, I’m glad I don’t smoke) in it and so I went and got some uremol cream and my hand is much less itchy, thanks. My boobs, though, they’re still pretty bad. The cold baths and showers are SUCH a joy, as well. 
But they help, they help. They really do. So thanks, y’all I know, I know. Louise, go see a doctor. Except since the move I can’t find my NS health card. And in order to get my PEI health card (and thus, be able to go to a doctor here), I need to turn in my NS one. Blah blah. I promise, I’m gonna try and do something about that.
3- some GOOD NEWS for once! I know, I’ve been a whiny baby for AGES on here. Anyway. I got a little job. On Tuesday and Thursday nights (6-8 pm) I’ll be teaching a french class to government workers. The hourly wage is INSANE — I’ll be making like $30 per hour. It won’t add up to that much, seeing as it’s only four hours a week, but hey, it’s something.
I haven’t started substitute teaching yet because I have to pay a bunch of fees to have my background checks and stuff done, and to be perfectly blunt how am I supposed to pay $200 in fees if I haven’t got a JOB? BUT the night job should help with that and then I’ll be on my way. Yay! Everyone smile!
i have type 1, 3, 4 and 5. (i’m just numbering the order of your links) but here’s the fun part, i had no idea that the 5 was a type of eczema, i had no idea what it was at all. so, louise, tonight you solved one of the mysteries i’ve been curious about lately. i seem to get it most often on the sides of my fingers, it’s weird.
i should be getting a refill of my uremol 10 HC (the prescription type) and seeing if that helps…
wow! thats an amazing hourly wage! i want that much per hour!
of course, yesterday, one of my bosses offered me “extra hours” to translate from english to sign in one of the drug education classes..because they didnt want to pay an interpreter. there aint no way im working with an asshole for 2 hours for a measley 8.44 a hour.
Okay this is a very late comment so sorry.
I have just all of a sudden started getting random patches of eczema… it is a total pain in the ass. Only I was afraid it was ringworm or something so was relieved when my dermatologist told me it was eczema. It does take forever to go away though…
Congrats on the employment! Go you!
