As I get older I appreciate spring a lot more than when I was young. I don’t really know why I was so unobservant as a kid, but it was only recently that I noticed just how many plants are blossoming and how pretty they are. I’m very grateful that I don’t have spring allergies; most of my other relatives do spend several weeks during the spring suffering with allergies, sneezing and blowing their noses. I don’t know why they won’t just go to the doctor and get allergy shots! Spring is too pretty to spend indoors hiding, don’t you agree?
Beauty products from the sea
One of the things that always amazes me is when I read an article about how there are dangerous chemicals in a lot of the make-up products that people use. For example I read that a lot of brands of lipstick have dangerous levels of lead in them. And yet women still wear their lipstick! My sister was telling me that she has found a bath body website that sells beauty products that are made from natural ingredients and that some of the ingredients come from the sea. Ingredients like seaweed. What will they think of next?
Dry eyes
Here it is, almost spring, and I have not run the humidifiers all winter long, with minor dry skin as a result. Well all of a sudden today WHAM my eyes started to itch. It was really sudden, and at first I thought something had gotten into them, like a chemical, but when I think about it, I’ve just been sitting here in front of the computer; don’t have a clue how that could happen. So after several minutes of rubbing my eyes I realized that it probably is dry eyes. Guess I should consider myself lucky that I haven’t had a problem with them up until now – it just surprises me that it came on so suddenly!
I absolutely HATE putting eye drops in my eyes, but I think that is what I’m going to have to do until I get the humidifiers up and running. I was trying to get by without them because I’ve been trying to minimize the electricity usage in the house. Oh well…I tried.
Left Handed
My mother is left handed but it rarely comes up as anything significant in a regular day. About the only time her being left handed has caused a problem was when she needed a pair of scissors and I did not have a pair of left handed scissors. Other than that, I don’t think it matter much to her about being left handed.
