Something strange is happening...

This is very odd and it's driving me crazy.........My nose is peeling. It started 4 days ago. I wear sunscreen, and I haven't gotten a sunburn. I haven't changed lotions, soaps, or anything else for that matter.

I can sit here and literally peel skin off my nose. I appear to be shedding, LOL.

This isn't right.. Maybe I'm having some kind of food allergy. ~sigh~ There goes 50 bucks to go to my dermatologist. He'll probably tell me to relax, it will go away. Whatever it is...

I got sent to a new Lady today. Just filling in for her other caregiver. Her house is amazing!! It's up in the hills, an older house with tons of character.

It had four bedrooms, two baths, a huge kitchen, large breakfast nook, large dining room and large living room. Sound good?

Well, you open this door off the kitchen and you go up a flight of stairs into a huge sun room. It was amazing! Bright, cheery, a great room to use for a game room and party room! Still sound good?

You go down a flight of stairs off of that room and downstairs are two more large rooms with a sliding door to the patio and backyard. You go back up the stairs, through the sun room, down the stairs and back through the kitchen. Still sounding good?

From there are a flight of stairs going down again. (I swear, I got lost and almost panicked) At the bottom is a suite of rooms, rather like a small apartment. A bedroom, shower, a sitting room with fireplace, and another room you could use for an office or 2nd bedroom. Another sliding door to the backyard. Think I'm done?

In the backyard, were about 15 fruit trees. Oranges, lemons, apples, avocados, tangerines, plums, grapefruit, grapes, tomatoes, and blackberries. The view overlooked the entire city (small city, lol).

I know I'm going to dream about this house tonight. With my son and his wife moving home after medical school, and my other son still at home, this house would have been perfect. I could have set both boys up in the downstairs, and Paul. and I could have the top. Woohoo!

Oh well, it is fun to think about "what if". The reality though, is that we are going to be packed like sardines in our house, LOL.

That house sounds awesome! It would fit my family great too...:) The nose peeling just happened out of the blue? Really odd.

Um... Are you secretly a SNAKE ?




That house sounds so dang cool...

Wish we could see pics !


And this is wild :

Last night I was meandering through various pics on photobucket and came across that fingers peace sign image...

I thought, "Oh ! ... I should send that to Laurie !"

Then I got side-tracked for a while and forgot...

Lo and behold, HERE IT IS ON YOUR PAGE !

Is that cRaZy or what ?

Boz--I know, it's wierd. Good thing though, no one besides myself can tell it's peeling..

Windy---The backyard is a wonderland! My face is really dry right now, so I think maybe that's what the problem is. At least no one else can see it happening but me, yay!

Windy put a picture up!!

LauriesAsylum - 8:44 AM - 7/25/2008

David--yes, very strange...:(

LauriesAsylum - 8:45 AM - 7/25/2008

Wanda--It is odd, it's almost like I got sunburned and the skin started peeling. But, my face is really dry right now, so I think I just need to moisturize a lot more...

LauriesAsylum - 8:46 AM - 7/25/2008

Cam---lol, that's not crazy, after these few years of knowing each other, you have me figured out, that's all...:)

LauriesAsylum - 8:48 AM - 7/25/2008

That house sounds wonderful. I suffer from house envy sometimes, htat house would definitely make me crazy with envy.

Nikkie - 9:37 AM - 7/25/2008

My nose peels after I've blown it for days on end from allergies. Sometimes my skin starts peeling or flaking when I don't moisturize. Maybe it's something like that.

We're all moving into Laurie's dream house. There's room for everyone....

slayerbarbie - 9:44 AM - 7/25/2008

Odd about the peeling. Let us know what you ever find out about it.

I have the plan. Ask the lady if you can move your family into her house!

DeeJay - 6:19 PM - 7/25/2008

That is weird. I wonder what it is? If your face gets dry it doesn't peel like that. Maybe it is a food allergy. Hopefully it will be gone in a couple of days. That house sounds amazing, I would love to walk through it. I always wanted a sun room. It would be so nice to sit back and relax in it.

lisalisabobisa - 8:09 PM - 7/25/2008

Oh I know, I saw that on myspace and said, "Huh, is that Windy??" Nice pic Windy!!

lisalisabobisa - 8:10 PM - 7/25/2008

That house sounds amazing! how the heck does a little old lady keep living in a place like that with all those stairs and all that space?

littleMissConfused - 8:46 PM - 7/25/2008

She's my property manager. I'll be kicking her out after grad school...

I hope the weird peeling stops, and that it's nothing serious.

texican - 11:05 PM - 7/25/2008

Nikki--oh you would fall in love with this house for sure!

LauriesAsylum - 10:52 AM - 7/26/2008

Demetrius--seriously, there would be room for everyone, and we were all in LMC's dream together, we might as well live together, lol.

I think that might be my problem, dry skin. I've noticed the rest of my skin is dry also and I've been having to use more moisturizer than I usually do. I always have to be careful what I use on my face though, I breakout easily. Maybe if I call my doctor, he'll tell me what to use over the phone instead of coming in.

LauriesAsylum - 10:56 AM - 7/26/2008

Deejay---haha, she probably wouldn't even know we're there. Because of her lung problem, she only goes from the bedroom to the kitchen and back again.

LauriesAsylum - 10:57 AM - 7/26/2008

Lisa---I know, it's a really cute picture of Windy!

You would have loved that sun room, it was amazing! It was probably the length of Moms living room and den combined.

LauriesAsylum - 10:58 AM - 7/26/2008

LMC--She has a severe lung problem and is on oxygen 24/7, so she only goes from her kitchen to her bedroom and back again. Sadly, she hasn't seen the rest of her house in about 5 years...:(

LauriesAsylum - 11:02 AM - 7/26/2008

Rene---LOL

Well, when it first started peeling, I was freaked out, started thinking cancer and all those other things that run through your mind. I went online and mostly everything I found said dry skin was probably the culprit, so I calmed down a little.

LauriesAsylum - 11:05 AM - 7/26/2008

Moisturizing in the summertime sounds really odd to some people, but it is a way of life for me.

slayerbarbie - 10:21 PM - 7/26/2008

Demetrius--The air is changing here in CA, it's different. So, I think I'm going to have to step it up with the moisturizer also.
