Yellow Stuff Between My Toes

I've had a head cold for the last few days and one of the few things that seems to help is a hot shower. Well, it helps my head but it's murder on my skin. So as soon as I get out of the shower I slime myself with which ever lotion is closest to me.

You have to understand that it has been over 2 years since I've actually purchased lotion. I offer bartering on my website for my patterns, kits, business licenses, and leather. The most popular things I get offered are bath products, lotions, facial creams, and makeup. A lot of women are involved in selling these types of items from their home and will end up with a surplus on hand. I'm not picky, so I take whatever they want to send me.

Last night I was feeling particulary bad and forgot to slime myself after my shower. Within an hour, every spare inch of skin on my body was itching. I asked Will to bring me some lotion. And of coarse, he insisted on spreading it on me himself. The first container he brough in was empty.

At least I assumed it was. I can't think of any other reason he would take an open lotion bottle and bang it against my leg repeatedly, unless he was practising his tourture techniques. He left to find another lotion and I lay there suffering with bruised shins. However, dry skin was the last thing on my mind.

He returned later and dumped gobs of lotion on my legs. I swear he must have used half a bottle of lotion below my knees! When I finally realized he had no intention of spreading it out or working it in I made him stop. He got a towel and "dried" some of it off and I was just to tired from the ordeal to even care.

This morning as I was putting on my shoes I noticed that between my toes and along the side of my foot were yellow; like I had stepped in something. But I hadn't. Having dogs, and a young son who still likes to pee in odd places, I was leary to rub my foot to see if the color came off. Or God forbid, smell it. But it was weird that both feet seem to have the same problem. Surely I would remember stepping in something with both feet?

Then I knew. I went to the bedroom to look at the lotion Will had soaked me in the night before. Sure enough, it was self-tanning lotion.
