Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

Taking a quick break in between starting a load of laundry and going out to the store.

Thanks. My regular eczema I have fairly well under control, mostly thanks to drinking Yakult daily. It's the hand and foot eczema that's annoying. On my hands because it just doesn't look nice (working in a store) and the foot eczema because it can get itchy at night. Luckily it only affects me when it's warm. But so far nothing has really helped, not even the steroid cream I got from the doctor. The CBD cream seems to work, at least with speeding up the healing process. O'Keeffe's hand and foot creams also work, though not as good, but they leave a filmy residue on your skin. Which I find unpleasant.

Good luck with psoriasis. Hopefully your hand heals soon.

I just booked my reading retreat for September. I'm going to the park my sister and I went to a couple of years ago, though then we stayed in a cottage, this time I've booked an apartment. The apartments were recently renovated, I've got a combination microwave and oven, so I can bake if I feel like it. It also has a sauna, which I probably won't use.

I'm hoping the on-park supermarket is better stocked in late September than in early May, if not there's a nearby town where I can do my shopping. I am going to get a cycling GPS, last time we cycled to another nearby town and Google Maps send us, literally, through the woods. Over sand paths and wanted us to use paths that didn't exist (anymore).

I'm really looking forward to it and I'm glad I didn't give in to my sister, who hinted she wanted to join me.

Preparing for a trial against some slum landlords >:|

Preparing for a trip to Ikea later this morning. I like that if you use their app to make a shopping list they put the items in the right order so you can easily find them in the store. I'm also thinking of getting the cat play tunnel, because you can never have enough cat toys. Even if their favourite play things are scrunched up pieces of paper (Luna) and the plastic rings of bottles (Maru).

Just a work project...

And now I'm working out what's broken the software.

I'm a big fan of the Ripple Rug, if you can get those in your neck of the woods.

The cats would love that, but it doesn't seem to be available in the Netherlands (yet), so I'm keeping my eyes out for it to come available here.

On the 30th we're having a family day, I'm going to make a bracelet for the cousin organizing it. She likes blue, so I'll have to order beads in the right colour(s). I'm making one with memory wire, since that's one size fits all. I'm now going to see if Pinterest can offer some suggestions, what a nice mixture of bead shapes, sizes and hues are.

I gotta tell you, it's pretty simple. It's two pieces of rug. The bottom one is just a flat piece. The top one has holes cut in it, with the edges sewn, and velcro attached to the bottom. It's ingenious in its simplicity. My female loves it. I hope you can get one soon!

Sound like something the cats would like, although you never know with them. They love bags, though Luna has the tendency to sit on the opening when Maru is in the bag. And they also like their box with holes cut in. This seems to be a good combination of both.

So, my cousin likes blues, so her bracelet will be various hues of blue, with silver accents. She also told me her kids' favourite colours and I thought of making a charm for on the bracelet with a bead in the favourite colour of each kid. Is that a nice idea?
