Day 26

I miss humidity. I don't care if my hair is frizzy 100% of the time, and I have to go through 2 flat irons a year... I miss it. It's soooo dry here. My hand and feet crack, the dogs shock me every time I get anywhere near the couch, and the parts of my skin that aren't hurting, are itching me to death!

And you know how itches are... They never stay in one place for long. The back of my hand will itch. After I get it good and raw from scratching, the itch will jump on my back where I can't reach it. Then it jumps to the back of my thigh or my calf, then up to my hip. Ahhhh! It drives me crazy! And we aren't talking about a few seconds.... It lasts for HOURS! I'm sure I look like a crazy person, scratching all the time.

I keep the humidifier running constantly, and have to use lotion at least twice a day or risk giving myself welts from scratching. I've found that the eucerin calming creme works the best... Mainly because the tube is long enough to flip over and use it as a back scratcher.

In all seriousness, it has helped. I have only had one scratching fit today, and that body wash is pretty great.

Super excited to get my hair done next week, too. :D Took Jenn to the airport today, went to tan, got peeved at some whiners on Facebook and posted a status that I normally wouldn't have posted had you been here, but it seemed to get a lot of positive responses. Guess I wasn't the only one who was aggravated. Lol

Take care of yourself, baby. I love you and miss you. I think the kiddos want to write to you tomorrow, so I know you'll be waiting for that one. Counting down the days until you're in my arms again. All my love, goodnight.
