Self Medicating

Nope, I'm not drinking myself into o'blivion. Nor am I popping pain pills, indiscriminately or otherwise. I am, however, taking steps to ward off the ill feelings that have been encroaching, and all without burdening Mrs. Leslie with my issues.

I'm taking small measures to remind myself of who I am, beneath all the extraneous hair below the neck and the lack of hair up top. Tonight, I took a half hour to bleach my arm hair. It's not as good as bare arms, but let's face it, natal women don't usually have bare arms either. Remove the color from the existing hair, and the effect is similar. Good enough for my purposes, anyway.

I also did a bit of etail therapy tonight. I placed a small order from Newport News. They are closing out their winter collection, with some real bargains. I ordered a light brown denim pencil skirt ($14) and a light pink poplin pencil skirt ($12). I had some other things in my basket, but I found my self-control as I was finalizing the order, and removed a couple items. I really have no business ordering anything, but it gives me something to look forward to, and some better options when I get dressing opportunities.

Thanks for the nice comments. I am feeling much better tonight than last night. I hope that my cure lasts me a few days.
