Up to noon, I believe.

.
.
I remember, because I wasn't going to feed the cats until noon.  I figured it was 9:00 or 10:00 when I was about to crash. On my way to the bathroom before bed, I looked at one of the kitchen clocks... 12:15(ish, if I think those run fifteen in the hot).  So I did feed them.  Up at 17:30.

Oh, I remember part of why I didn't like using lotion before, beyond all other reasons, actually two problems.  One, it makes them hot.  Actually just pushing them to room/body temp through massaging, increasing circulation... the skin and tissue isn't used to it, so it seems hot.  Perhaps in time the body thermometer for that area will adjust?  The other thing was it used to take a lot of lotion.  I am cheap.  I mean a lot of lotion, say a tablespoon or two per foot and leg.  The amount horrified the accountant in me.  Cha-$$$-Ching  Since I started, after this last pedicure, I started with the old usual, and have had to cut back.  I think I am at, perhaps, a quarter teaspoon per, which I still have to finish up on my arms.  So, other than the hot-foot thing, I am good.  I've hit it morning and night since the last appointment.

I plan on work today.  I'll reset the dishes, fluff laundry, then begin trash and recycling after this break-wake, as far as I can go.  Oh, and checks for utilities, in an envelope, to go soon.  I finally owe, like $6 this month, full next month.  Yeah, enough for a couple years, at 20% (ish) over current monthly.  It... is as good as I can do.  If I get into these things, I will consider else.  Later.

  3. Yes and no. Funnily, I am using udder cream, but not the other... if it was under consideration when I was trying them. Another problem I had, initially, was most lotions burned my skin. Part of the reason I gave up on them. The pedicure, and more frequent lotion sessions after those, has desensitized the skin on my feet. It, sometimes, still burns, but lightly and rarely.

    Are you vouching for Bag Balm? I'll certainly give it a shot if so.

  4. It is used a lot by quilters...soothing fingertips pricked by needles...and farmers used to use it on cow's udders when they got irritated from being milked.
    It's been popular for years.
    I think it's worth a try.
