what even are bodies
Random thing I dislike about summer: the soles of my feet peel. I think this might be partially related to wearing sandals, but I don't actually wear sandals that often so maybe it's a humidity thing instead.
Anyway, they peel in slow, ragged patches (because the soles of one's feet are generally callused and callus doesn't peel well), and they itch in the process. It's not a constant itch, but it's extremely distracting and I sometimes wake myself up in the middle of the night to discover I've dug bloody scrapes into my ankles and the more delicate tops of my feet by trying to dig out the itch with my toenails.
And anti-itch creams don't work super well, because they can't get through the callus. *sigh*
I think I need to buy a new pumice stone and spend half an hour just scraping my feet tomorrow.
