mundanity

I got 11 new pairs of underwear (I hate the word "panties") today to replace the ones a certain nameless member of my household found his way into my laundry hamper and devoured. On the plus side, I love new undies.

My throat is sore. I'm hoping I'm not germy as I have three 10-hour days next week. It is extremely dry in my apartment, which could also be the sore throat cause. My skin was all kinds of itchy and dry and not even my medicated Gold Bond moisturizer was enough. I tried the in-shower moisturizer crap I'd seen advertised, and it helped but I was still dry. So now I'm using both Olay Moisturinse In Shower Body Lotion and Olay Complete Body Wash for Extra Dry Skin, and my skin has never felt this good. I should get the Olay people to sponsor me or at least give me free shit for raving about their products. Now if we can just perfect the skin on my face and back...it's doing better than at many other points in my life, but damnit, I've been getting zits for a good 14 years--shouldn't I be done by now? And I'm sure all the chemical crap I use now is going to make my face turn to paper before I hit 40.

Being a grown-up makes really boring things seem more interesting and important than they are.

Maybe I'll make myself some tea.
