Good Advice

Okay, so the weekend went by incredibly quickly. There was some stuff on Friday that pissed me off, but we are back to our creamy smooth center once more.

The drive was windy and slightly exhausting, but nothing special. I always have a pretty good time if I'm taking a trip with K, she is good easy company and we have the same sense of humor which makes things a lot better. Plus the weather in general was really pretty darn sweet for October. Grandma had a nice time we hung out and went shopping and just generally were together. She is doing well. Sister A showed up because the laundry machines in her dorms broke, so it was nice to also have her there. We kept things low-key. Then came back today around 4pm. So, I still pretty much have my night to myself before the whole 'back to work' thing tomorrow.

Sometimes with the whole blog thing I like to pass on some good advice or what-not that was passed to me. Recently I got extremely over-stressed out and had a couple of days when I did not get enough sleep which brought on a bout of facial leprosy in my nose (a cold sore for the uninitiated to my blog). I hate them. HATE them. They hurt and look horrifying and I did nothing promiscuous or dirty to get them. Anyway, when it started to show, there was a lovely woman at my work who stopped me and said 'Have you tried L-lysine for your cold sore?' I was like, "Tried what?" She explained that she took a supplement for it and that it helped her immensely. Then, proving that some people really are just nice people, the next day she brought in a whole bottle of it and some info she had printed off the internet about it for me, without even being asked. So, I figured I had nothing really to lose and took some on Saturday. Now, I have tried a bunch of creams and supplements all of them either made it worse or didn't do anything. This stuff has made it nearly disappear in one day. I'm not kidding. So, I am passing it on. This works. I am taking it everyday now. And anyone who gets these should be taking it too. No joke.

So, I guess that is really a positive thing. I wanted other people to know. It is nice to be able to do something about it now, rather than just be habitually humiliated and embarrassed about my face for weeks at a time. I have a pretty face and I should be able to be proud of that.
