Still on the verge of being sick.... just a scratchy throat, little cough, thickening of the back of my throat.
Crossing fingers, took a zyrtek and allegra d this morning.
Made a call to a client, will see her at 1;30pm this afternoon after lunch at chris's po boys.
Chicken and sausage gumbo sounds good on my throat.
I broke my fast last night and had a fudge pop at around 9pm.
It felt good on my throat. We watched an episode of LOST last night. Great show!

I have been picking at my face but have been trying to do better. I have 2 small white pimples on my right side of my nose. I am leaving those alone for now. They are sensitive to touch.
My nose is bright red on that side of my nose from weeks of pimples and picking.I also have pimples and scabs on the left side of my face from pimples and picking. this will leave scars no doubt. and is red and lumpy. my poor face. It is a good thing I have this "camophlage" makeup/cover up. It works wonders!

I have been wearing lip stick for a few days now. Jeff said he liked it. And eye liner which gets messy by the end of the day. need to get some vaseline to take it off easily. I like it, some of my clients have complimented so that is nice to hear. I like it too and think it helps me feel less self conscious about my face.

I am only using the benzolperoxide cleaner at night to take off my make up and then wash my face with the seaweed/charcoal soap, then I use the vitamin c serum followed by a light moisturizer. My face seems to be happy with these products. So will keep using them. I get them cheaper on amazon!
Sorry for going on and on about this.
I wish I could quit picking, have been a picker my whole life.
My poor face is covered in scars...you think I would have learned to leave my face alone!
sigh

Oh no! I was hoping you would feel better this morning!

I have been a picker my whole life, too. I've dealt with the redness, extra pimples, and scars from it, too. I had very severe acne from lithium and it left some really bad scars. I still pick tho. It can all make you feel so self-conscious, so I can understand why you want to talk about it

I'm so glad that the new concealer is working out so well for you, and the rest of the products you are using seem to agree with your skin
I buy a lot of things on Amazon. I wear a face moisturizer by Clarins that I can buy almost $20 cheaper there. And that's just 1 product. It all adds up.

I'm glad that you're getting so many compliments because of the makeup you started wearing! I hope that it is boosting your self-esteem

I'm surprised you are seeing a client on a Saturday!

Enjoy your lunch today! Gumbo does sound like something soothing to eat if you are not feeling well

I gave jeff some mucinex to take every 12 hours, just got home from visiting a friend Doris. She is the one I went on a manic trip to hear a blue grass concert then went to hot springs arkansas. a couple of octobers ago.


WE are going to a cook out tonight with some friends of ours.
He is not drinking either, paul jeffs best friend here...gave up alcohol for lent again, does it every year. So he has been helpful, I have called him a couple of times for encouragement....Jeff has been helpful too.
