eczema

it was only on 2 fingers initially...but when jem was away to argentina, i got another hormonal change wave again, it's pretty bad this time...just that short 10 days...it spread to 7 fingers...and the whole of the back of my left hand up to the wrist...and today...the back of my right hand started to show red spots too....all...super itchy.

xianz....i seriously don't know what's wrong....one relative advised me to abstain all meat and seafood...except pork and fish....some websites said should also abstain pork because it's acid content...(gosh, now what? left fish only??), dairy products, wheat, soy products....the list goes on and on and makes me feel i have no food left to eat.

so, when the relative suggested abt abstaining food...i told myself...i better have eat my last steak before starting that diet...at least...make me feel contented and happy first before starting lesser-meat-choice diet. i'm a meat lover you know!!!! tell me no meat for at least 3 months...IS A miserable task!!!

i can't have steak so soon coz jem just came bk from argentina and his tummy is loaded with all the steaks he had at that place everyday...need to take a break from all those steaks. my skin condition gets worsen each day and so i can't wait...i cook steak myself. so that's my 1st attempt cooking steak, turned out not very nice...and then the next few hours...i wasn't sure what else i ate or touch...my skin flare-up...itch like mad!

i can't confirm whether it's food related, i have to abstain food immediately. meat and dairy product first...dairy products??...which means...no brownie ???!!!!*head bang wall*,  no cakes/muffins *jem cheers*, no ah gong's scone and butter cake, apple pie??? *bang more*,  no ah po's beef stew and hainanese chicken rice????? *bang bang bang*

why??!!! hate you eczema!!!  @#$%*^&%$#

so hence, maid topic is revived once again...this time...it seems like my stand is already been shaken, mainly because of eczema. i once told my mom in law that i don't like maid to stay in my house, would rather get part time.  then she said can let the maid stay in her house (this kind of mom in law where to find ;)  ), then my mom was in town last week, 2 moms spoke to me separately but with one common agenda. "get a maid"
my mom's version is "get a maid, or else your hands get uglier, jem won't want to hold your hand anymore".
my mom in law's is "get a maid, then i don't look like your maid anymore" :P haha!

does God think that now is the time to get a helper? and He allows that condition to get worsen? so that i can spend more time with the boys? so that my hands will have more chance to heal coz i have lesser contact with dust and water? more time coaching esp. ian in his 'studies', more time sitting beside jem rather than ironing clothes at night?

sleepy now...going to sleep
