On the eczema front, it still bothers me, but less so. For the past 3 weeks, I've had only one real flare-up. Of course, it still itches, but it seems to be much more manageable. Perhaps it's the Neem, perhaps it's the visit to the foot spa TCM place in Yishun, very likely it's due to the fact that HDB has completed cementing works near our block. Or perhaps because I'm much more consistent in applying my moisturizers and creams. I still have to sweep up piles of dried skin from various places around the house every day. I'm trying to sleep earlier, wake up a little earlier to do the ironing, instead of ironing late at night. This is more difficult because Gabriel has an erratic waking time. Sometimes, before I can apply the iron to the first garment, he wakes up. Other times, like today, he allowed me to iron for 1 whole hour before I woke him up. But we shall pray and persevere.
The application for exemption from Compulsory Education is due at the end of October. I've mostly finished. I learnt quite a bit in the process. I have ordered some new art curriculum for Sarah. Should be fun. Hope we can do it. Now I just have to make a time table and tidy up my CV as well as fill in the application form itself. Print everything out, bind it up and send.
Today I feel so lazy and tired. It's the last day of the homeschool break. I want to tidy up Sarah's wardrobe. Still need to change the kids' bedsheets, make some rempah titek to use/freeze and put clothes in the machine to wash. But I have just 1 hour to do all that. Oh yes, I also need to clean the floors of the living and dining rooms. HOW?? Lazy me! Tired me!! I just wish I could sleep all day. Still have to send Sarah and Ben to gym this afternoon, not forgetting that I also have to cook dinner before going out, put G & B to sleep right after lunch.
I'm getting old. Hope I have the energy to start homeschooling again next week.
