> Li, you like "to do" lists, so can I offer one:
Jost- you're the best. THANK YOU> 1. get dimmer lights for bathroom vanity. If dimmer wattage bulbs not available, remove half or two-thirds of bulbs, until vanity is suitably dim and pores are not jumping up and down on your face, asking to be somehow attended to.
I unscrewed all 4 lightbulbs and put them in a back corner of the icky utility closet.
>
> 2. buy extremely high-quality adhesive bandages, medicate and attach bandage to face where long-running scab also calls out for attention. Do not remove bandage, unless very uncomfortable, for at least three days. Replace if skin not healed fully.I have a lot of these already. I'm putting one on right now. Okay. now I'm gonna put another one on my ear boo boo and some ointment on the other ear boo boo where a bandaid won't fit.
>
> 3. Get rid of cuticle-maiming equipment, tweezers, etc. You can work without high-tech tools, if you must persist in this sort of self-attendingI put one nail clipper and one nail file in my violin case, because I need to keep my nails short and smooth to play violin.
I put the rest of the maiming equipment in a bag, in the back of the closet behind a box.
>
> 4. Throw out concealer. Just until everything heals and you're settled in with new T, and things stablize. I'm sure you're very attractive w/o makeup for a few weeks/month.That one's a no-can-do. Gotta have concealer or else I won't leave the house. I have acne, you see? and the concealer is actually a barrier to me picking at my face during the day. If I can cover up the pimples (the blue around my eyes, etc) then I will be less likely to obsess about looking "ill" in public. I can try to go without makeup, but people say things like- your allergies must be really bad, or you look so tired. Don't really wanna deal with that. okay? But I'll keep my makeup routine down to a minimum. I have to keep everything simple now that I have poor lighting in the bathroom anyways
> 4. Buy bat and very heavy duty pillow, next time you get agitated, try using bat with pillow. I"m serious. I"m going to do the same thing. I'll do it, if you do it, okay?
I have a bat already. I keep it near the door. Do I *really* have to BUY a pillow? yuck. I wanna punch my current pillow instead. is that okay?
> 5. Report as to above, esp. as to how it works with bat and pillow (or boxing gloves, boxing matt).
>
> 6. Try xanax??????? just for a few weeks, a low low dose.

> JostThanks Jost. this is a good plan. (((((Jost))))) You're so sensible. ((((Jost))))
