Looks 1,000x's better. Just some in hair line and scalp. So happy!!



Chest not coming along as well. Kinda yucky.



So I haven't posted about my "adult acne" lately. I had my 30 day follow up a few weeks ago with the doctor. Not sure if I wrote about it. If I did, this will be a repeat.


I was supposed to use the steroid cream every day for 3 weeks, the every other day the last week. Well I couldn't find my appointment card and hadn't written it in any of my calendars so I was still using it everyday when I got the reminder call. I wasn't doing very well with taking the pills though.

Most of the scabs were cleared up except around my temples and scalp. The doctor said that the cream thins the skin so its important on my forehead to use it only every other day. But my scalp it's ok for everyday. Which is good because it's so stressful at work that I pick at them all the time.

Now my temples are getting a little better. He says I'll have to keep taking the pills.

I took these pictures today.

Last week my psychiatrist put me on Xanax. It worked ok the first two or three days, now I can't sleep. I have to work tomorrow (had today off and called in yesterday) so I took an Ativan even though he told me to stop. I had to, I haven't slept in 4 days.

I didn't get ANY trick or treaters yesterday. Boo! And I bought 3 bags of Kit Kats. Well actually 4 but I ate one.

I worked until 5 and traffic was horrible so I didn't get home until 7 so maybe the kids came out early since Daylight Savings was just this past Sunday and it gets dark by 6. Don't know. Both neighbors had their lights on (I found out mine doesn't work) but I didn't see anyone walking when I came home and no one came to the door and I didn't hear anyone. Oh well maybe next year I'll get a ton.

I wore my pirate outfit (from a few years ago) to work but the only other person that dressed up was Char. She was a schoolgirl. Bunch of party-poopers.



Well it's been 3 more days and this is the result. My pictures are horrible, plus I take them after getting out of the shower so I think that's why there is more splotchiness. My forehead (again) looks worse in this picture than I think it does for real. I for one CAN see a difference.

No one has mentioned anything so either:
1) no one cares
2) no one looks
3) I've had it for so many years that it's taken for granted that it's there.

These are the only reasons I can think of.
