Happy New Year

I'm happy with the way my skin looks today. Yeah, I still have a ton of marks from previous zits that need to heal (that'll take months), but no new zits today, and none yesterday either. Wow.

I need to stop the drinking, too. I've only have about 4 drinks per week, no more than one per day, but I know I should be subbing the wine and Bailey's for water. I'm not drinking enough water at all. I have maybe two glasses per day, tops. Oh well. Once I get back up to UF I won't have any alcohol available to me anymore. The only drinks I buy up there are soymilk and water anyway, so maybe I'll be forced to drink more H2O.

My skin is peeling a bit, mostly around my chin and nose. That's kinda weird, since my nose was by far the oiliest area on my face before I started taking isotretinoin. The pain around my chest has mostly disappeared, too. I'm not sure if I'm feeling a bit down because the drug is finally making me depressed or because I'm forced to spend time with my family and without my significant other, so I'll have to watch that. I'm betting it's the family and lack of companionship.

Not to much to say about my personal life. I've been holed up in my room hiding from my family and watching Space Cases on YouTube. I'm also doing more doodling, which is nice. It keeps me from going crazy in here.

I "celebrated" the new year last night with my dad, who didn't look up from the TV at all last night. My three siblings had managed to find better things to do and my stepmother had already gone to bed, so I poured myself a glass of some cheap wine and kissed Jon over the phone. Whee, exciting. I guess Jon had it a little better, he was with his dad's family in (West?) Virginia.
