Day 02

02: I had a little trouble sleeping last night, I was itchy, thirsty, and kept awake by the severe thunder shower we got. I see no change in my skin whatsoever. I have a lovely pimple the size of Texas, directly where Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark was. I have a second pimple budding directly in the center of my eyebrows. Of all the places... so today, I have to choose: am I going to channel an old, globally recognized Hollywood movie icon, or am I going to channel the women from Slumdog Millionaire? I'm going to decide over a gallon of water and some homemade chocolate chunk pancakes. With Maine-made syrup. Mmm...

Update: I'm very thirsty, my eyes are dry, and I have a sneeze that will not come. I'm associating the sneezeless sneeze with nasal dryness; luckily I had some Vick's Vapo-Rub lying around to take care of that, and some Visine lying around to take care of my tired eyes. I'm not experiencing the severely chapped lips yet, but I'm keeping them Carmex'd in preparation. I've been feeling a little tired, but I always did before Claravis anyways.

Update: After my evening pill, I had very dry eyes. Again. And that unquenchable thirst that seems like it might last the entire 6 months I'm on this stuff. I found another bottle of re-wetting drops for my eyes, since the Visine stung more than soothed. Blech.
