Happy Boxing Day

Hello again! I've spent almost all day watching Forensic Files on Court TV. This isn't a plug for the show, I swear. I just really like forensics. I could watch CSI for a month straight and not get tired of it. Also, I really enjoy learning how not to murder someone. Not that I think I'll ever need to know that stuff, but it couldn't hurt. Heh.

Aaaaanyway. Yesterday was Christmas, and I think I've picked up a fun new side effect. The muscles around my ribcage are killing me, and my back kinda aches, too. When I lie flat on my back or stomach or stand completely straight, the pain is really nasty. What the hell? I know this is not unusual, but I wasn't expecting such a weird side effect so early on.

You know, I think I forgot to mention earlier what my dosage is. I'm at 40 mg twice daily, or 80 mg per day. From what I've read on other blogs, that seems kind of high. It probably has something to do with the fact that I'm 170 lb and 5'10", though. Maybe my high dosage has something to do with the early aches?

My skin has gotten slightly better, in it's own way. Normally, I have very few minor zits and many huge ones that stick around for a week and go deep beneath the skin. All those deep ones have come to the surface and disappeared, but the small ones are still numerous (about three daily). It's an improvement, I guess. My face is flaky but not very dry, so I think I need to exfoliate. My lips are chapped as hell, but luckily I have my chap stick at the ready.

My hair isn't any drier yet. I'm really worried that my hair and lips will be damaged. I have really lovely hair and soft, near-perfect lips, and I don't want to lose that. I'm not trying to brag about my looks, either, but my best features are my hair, lips, and breasts. The acne returned to my chest, and I don't want the other features in the Trinity of Hotness to be marred.

Yeah, I'm vain. Dinner time!
