stop biting my fingernails

I’ve still got decent nails after the last few weeks of the holidays. They have been objects of my personal vanity for days, ever since my mom got out her Avon nail polish collection.
woot!

still got nails, even painted them. seems to be coming along.

So far, been doing well for about a month, and I’m seeing some good results. A bit uneven, but that will sort itself out over time.

I switched rubber bands. Maybe that’s important? Maybe it was the acupuncture…
Anyway, I haven’t nibbled so far today. Hopefully making this entry won’t jinx things.

Got a new job that will see me through to my move, but I’m still biting. Computer jobs do that, I suppose. When I’m not actively typing, I tend to have my fingers in my mouth.
I’m struggling with the habit with my magic rubber band and help from friends and coworkers.

I’m still nibbling, and even my magic rubber band hasn’t helped. Maybe now that my big crisis moment has passed and things are looking up, I won’t need to bite so much. I can hope.

Well, I trimmed my nails to have an easier time typing, then I had a very difficult couple of weeks – I’m facing a financial crisis – and my nails are bitten down again.
Sigh.
Back to the drawing board.

I still have nails!
I still occasionally nibble them, but at least they’re still there.
I had to trim them down farther than ever because I can’t type or play the piano with dracula claws, but it’s still nice and I can be vain about my hands.

I am filing my nails to keep them at a managable length now. Typing is more difficult, among other things, with long nails. Occasionally I find myself nibbling the edges, but I have so far caught myself in time, before doing any damage.

I still have nails! They’re all pretty uniformly long, and although some are still uneven, they are healthy.
Now to keep them this way another two weeks. The temptation remains, and sometimes I catch myself starting to gnaw. Egads!
