Pustulence

[rinue]

Thursday:

Pretty grossed out right now; found the biggest whitehead I have ever seen on anyone in my hair, and when I touched it the noise of the pop was audible and the pus dropped into the sink. I don't know why pimples don't show up more in horror stories; they're all bugs or rotting flesh, when would would really upset me would be to bust a large whitehead and find it was an embryo.

Friday:

Rummage sale at the church. Bought two cute dresses and a jacket. Scarlett found a small leather suitcase labeled "emergency medical kit," inarguably the get of the day. New slippers also arrived in the mail from New York; after years of searching I realized there was only one place to find a replacement for my old slippers and that was . . . Chinatown.

Ugh. Skin problems are so annoying. Even dermatologists often don't take them seriously (at least in my experience), and they can be so nasty. (I am obsessed with my new dermatologist, btw. I have had, as you know, numerous Weird Things lately on my skin, and she's been awesome about putting up with my fears and checking things diligently. Also, who doesn't love getting to be treated with lasers and compressed nitrogen?!)
