Going through my SG friends list, eliminating anyone who I never hear from AND who seems to themselves have a friends list composed entirely of females. (You're probably fine if you're one or another.)
Meanwhile I was sitting around thinking about my Witch Hazel Cold Cream I semi-invented (it's an old Victorian recipe a little modified) and it occurred to me that Vitamin E oil would be a good addition to it. Maybe the next batch.
The general inclination of my skin to hurt for one reason or another (either for being too dry if I dare not use crazy heavy moisturizer, or for getting those stupid cystic acne pimples which ache and itch like mad) combined with how not-good I'm looking lately, between the pimples, the scarring, the dryness and the increasing wrinkles has me thinking a lot about moisturizers and skin treatments. I wish I didn't have to use all this acne medication or it would free me up to experiment a little more (thing is every time I need to wash something off, is another reapplication of expensive prescription acne medicine.) Hopefully this will settle a little in Edinburgh, where the climate is more moist, there's less sun and maybe I won't be as stressed out all the time from boredom and loneliness (O, have I mentioned enough how I hate New Mexico???) Though I did manage to get a tan even there, while I was in Scotland in the summer for 3 weeks... it's been about 5 months passed and that tan is still not altogether faded.
Still, I'm thinking it might be meant for me to be unhappy, like that Star Trek episode where the crew of the Enterprise wind up on a planet of total peace and happiness, and Kirk has to freak out and tell everyone to quit being happy because man wasn't meant to be happy. The Van Goghs and Cobains of the world weren't happy folks afterall.

Just scanned back through a few missed blogs and was amazed to see the amount of snow, but now I realize your in Sante Fe (and not in California as I wrongly assumed from your profile) will explain why you questioned me over the weather, you may be pleased to know that the ice age grip that had a hold on us a week ago has turned into a balmy 8degrees, torrential rain and flooding
Your art work as always is awesome, I wish I could paint like that and congrats on the book, you're one talented lady.
What are you doing for Christmas?
Take care and be well
