New life for an old sock

A lot of my tube socks have seen better days. I tend to wear my socks and underwear into the ground (who sees them, after all?) but my better half draws the line a little bit newer than I do.

Well, just before a few socks were relegated to that big drawer of mismatched socks in the sky, one got a new lease on life — as a cover for a keyboard wrist gel support. (Maybe that’s not what it’s called — it’s the gel- or silicone-filled floppy thing that you put in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists on.)

The synthetic fabric cover was starting to come off, exposing the sticky silicone-like interior. We just put the entire thing in one of my socks with the heel almost worn out. It’s very comfy now, and it’s not sticky!
