stop picking my skin

I haven’t been picking my skin. I’ve been quite good. My skin is also doing better. Today, for some weird, random reason, however, I discovered a cluster of bumps on my forehead. I’m not actually sure what they are. I don’t think they are pimples, but I can’t rule that out yet, but usually I don’t get a bunch all at once. I’m not quite pre-menstrual yet, so that doesn’t make sense… I don’t know! Maybe an allergic reaction to my feather pillow? But I’ve been sleeping on it for more than 2 weeks. I would have thought it would have happened more immediately… I have no idea.
Anyhoo, the scratching is minimal – down to normal people standards, I think. My nails are longer and I’m keeping them pretty in Dior Nail Polish (my Christmas treat to myself). So I have a good reason to keep them long and nice.

I’ll scratch a bit from time to time and I had a bit of excema last night, but I didn’t pursue it and I’m feeling fine.

If I get through this winter without too much hassle, I might count this done…

Letting my nails grow. Whenever I start scratching I stop. Skin’s feeling alright.

When we move to Italy I know it will be better because the water is so much better where we are moving…

Good stuff.

So I spent the summer in the country and although in terms of pollution my skin was great, there were a gajillion mosquitos and I have sweet blood so they target me. So I had some crazy ass scabs that I may or may not have picked.

But now that I’m back in Paris I am having excema break-outs. This is something I can control, however. So.

This summer, ok. This coming fall, to be seen.

nothing too interesting to note.

Nothing extreme happening, anyway.

Skin is doing well.

by day.

Starting over for November. Going to try to take extra good care of physical self.

Interning at Montessori school (observing this week) so I’m sitting with my notebook watching the kids. Biting my nails a bit more, but not scratching so much. Itching has gone down and skin looking much better.
