Accutane: Week 4

Well, week four on Accutane which means just about a month (an actual month going by the lunar calendar) and, well, not much change from last week, I don't think.

My face isn't really peeling, except where I break out and my breakouts are smaller. They still happen, but the acne isn't as large and doesn't seem to last as long. Still hurts, though.

What does appear to be in the early stages of peeling, though, is the back of my right hand (and a little bit on my left). It's not gross or anything, it just looks . . . spotty. Like when you have überdry skin, which there you go.

Tomorrow is my first doctors appointment since I've started so I will have to drink an entire bottle of in the cab on the way. Heh. Pregnancy and blood tests are ever so much fun, let me tell you.

And I have a whole list of questions for my doctor ranging from the ouchie on my right ring finger to my crazy [.] stuff. Whee!

So, all is well on that front.

Oh! One thing I did notice, though, I think, is that I am getting hungover a bit easier. I felt it a bit this morning even though I only had about one to one and a half glasses of wine. On the whole, not a problem as I'm not a big drinker anyway, but it is still something of note, I guess.

In four months when cold medicine is giving me raging hangovers I'm sure I will look back on this mild headache fondly. Heh.

Weekend was okay. After the mishaps with Fleet he ended up getting to my place last night around five. We (I) made fish tacos which were fantastic (well, the first batch- the second batch the oil wasn't hot enough, dag nabit, so they weren't as great. But we didn't eat them because we were stuffed so I'll just heat them in the oven and they'll be fine) and watched Eat Drink Man Woman which was really good. Then we turned on Captain Blood which is the movie I originally wanted to watch because - DUH - swashbuckling! Awesome!

Well, I watched a good twenty, twenty-five minutes before passing out. Fleet woke me up at one point so I could watch some fantastic swashbuckling action but mostly, yeah, I missed the film.

From what I got of it, though, I don't think I'm all that upset. Maybe I'll give it another chance at a later date.

Today we slept in a little and at noon he went home because I had a baby shower that I actually wanted to go to because I quite love the woman having the baby. She's married to a man I've known since I was a wee little thing and I think the world of them. She is eight months along but unless you see her from the side you can hardly tell! She looks adorable and I am so happy for the two of them!

The shower was a shower and we'll just leave it at that.

Now I am going to sack out for the rest of the night. It should be an interesting week: I have the doctor early tomorrow and then I am out of the office all day on Tuesday for Tag Heuer training and then my boss is out the rest of the week.

Fleet is going to Arizona for ten days on Saturday. Ah well, it means I will be able to get some stuff done, like work on my mom's Mother's Day gift and maybe see some friends.

All in all I am okay.

Still pissed as hell about the work thing, but it is fading, thank goodness. Hopefully by tomorrow it will all just be cleared up and over with.

Well, there is my totally boring update. But now at least I have the accutane stuff on record.

♥♥♥ to all!
