Of course, the Beast has no real patience unless he thinks it will get him some kind of personal gain. So his little shopping spree today to buy some special creams and things for his rash didn't surprise me. He has only been wearing the t-shirts and underwear that were washed without having used the fabric softener for two days. Did I mention that he has no rash in his *private* area? I asked him why he thought he didn' t have a rash down there if he was allergic to the softener. He just shrugged and said, *I don't know!*
So he goes up to the store, looking thru the drug store section for something he can use on the rash (because it itches). He has some first aid spray and some medicated powder he's been using but he's running out of patience (as I said). So what does he come home with? Eczema creme, an antifungal cream and a big bottle of germ killer like you use on your hands to de-germ them. LOL!
I asked him why in the hell he would need eczema creme and did he actually know what it was? He said it was the only thing that came close to treating a topical problem and it was supposed to relieve itching and that was what he wanted. He swears that if it doesn't help, he's going to buy some of that athlete's foot spray since that is the only other thing he can think of that might help. I told him that going to a dermatologist would be smarter because they have access to things that are meant for skin problems that are NOT eczema...LOL. But, like I said, he will resist that until he's exhausted all his *ideas*.
The Beast made us some of his sloppy joe today but the buns really killed the taste. They were normal hamburger buns but they were actually *too* fresh. They mooshed down into almost a dough-like texture. I ended up scraping off the meat and eating it with tortilla chips....lol. Those chips are good for a lot of different things. I like to keep them in the house.
The Beast is going to Birmingham on Saturday for a one day preachathon there for his church. They have them on occasion. He's picking up this 70 year old woman from his church because her car isn't in good enough shape to make that trip. He wants to pack a lunch and some refreshments to take with him so we planned what he needs to get from the store tomorrow. It means I will have the better part of Saturday to myself......well, except Baron will be here. *Sigh* He's always a pain when the Beast is gone. He mopes around the house, sighing and plopping down here and there. It gets old after a bit. I ignore him because he is only doing it for extra treats.
It looks like Dennis and Diane will be moving into their house this weekend. They should be getting their certificate of occupancy either tomorrow or Friday. I am so glad that all the building is over now. Dennis almost look like he's been beat up. I think it's taken a toll on his alread fragile health. He keeps making jokes about being glad he got it done before he died so Diane didn't have to worry about it. It makes me wonder how he is really feeling these days.
The weatherman originally predicted that we were going to have some nice warm days thru mid-week but, if mid-week is Wednesday, he was wrong. Our high tomorrow is only going to be in the mid-60's. And it goes downhill from there with the possibility of rain this weekend. I'm thinking of making some split pea soup on Saturday while the Beast is gone so it will be ready for him when he gets home.
He started talking about us going down to one car and I pitched a fit. With the way he goes here and there, no, no, no. I want my own car. I told him that, too. When he started talking about it reducing what we spent on insurance, I told him we will be fine if HE stops shopping like there's no end to his wish list! He just gave me a look and ignored me. Typical.
Love you all. Have a great Hump Day. ***Hugs***
