Skin care, body.
Have been having what are, for my skin, hellish breakouts. (Those with the true suffering that is hellish breakouts, my sympathies, and I'm glad I don't have it so bad.) I suspect that one of the main culprits may be the Arizona weather. I'll be glad when it gets cooler again.
I know I should probably exfoliate more often when I feel that a gentle exfoliating process that would do my face good involves a block of pumice. (It did, really, do wonders for my skin. But, it is kind of scratchy.
My sense of smell is still not entirely back, which makes things taste a little bizarre, but at least my appetite is back. That's a good thing; after finally eating a decent meal, the scale said I'd dropped ten to fifteen pounds. Crash, bang, boom, let's not repeat that, shall we? Happily for me, I have that much that I can lose, so my health's not in immediate danger from a week where I barely feel like touching food and so don't, as long as that doesn't become a habit. I'd far prefer to lose weight gradually and healthily than going BOOM and being fragile and sickly at my target weight or below.

Um, yeah, I've been in a similar boat. I once tried to convince my friends that since the nose is composed primarily of cartilage you can pop it just like a finger knuckle. That was a bad idea. For the following thirty minutes my nose was completely wonky, hurt, and I couldn't stop smelling chives. I hadn't consumed any chives. My friends thought it was hilarious. Ever since my sense of smell has been somewhat . . . intermittent.
On an unrelated note, is it okay if I add you to my friends list? It would save me some valuable link-clicking time. ;)

And yes, do go right on ahead. I can't promise add-back, as the friends list is crowded, but ... enjoy the Lunacy!

Piffle. No worries there lass. I just wanted to make sure that it was kosher that I link myself up to the LJ pipeline. Plus, it lets me be sure that something doesn't slip past me that I can use my "mad commenting skillz" upon. =P

Ooo, now I can reply with one of my favorite lines from my LARPing days.
"Bring it."
(the problem, of course, is that then somebody would "bring it" . . . leaving my character a bloody spot on the ground)

"Heh. Heh."
