Countdown to Accutane, T-minus 2 weeks...

I got up... semi-early-ish for a friday this morning and headed down to chinatown for a dermatologists appointment. It was cold and I hadn't eaten yet (fasting bloodwork), so I took the subway down, but then afterwards I had a quick breakfast at starbucks and decided to walk the mile back to my dorm.

It's a pretty nice day out, very blue and clear. I have some errands I need to run later (haircut? groceries?), so I'm sure I'll snap some pictures then. The street level's not so nice, though - we got about thirteen inches of snow on wednesday and now it's just sitting there, refusing to melt, getting dirtier and dirtier and icing up sidewalks. Anyway, I did the dumb thing of walking back to the dorm in the cold and was numb from the neck up when I finally got back. I consoled myself with a scalding cup of peppermint tea and called it a morning.

Hopefully, though, if everything goes well I'll be able to start
accutane in two weeks. I'm told it's pretty much a magic bullet for acne and I spent last night looking up people's before and after pictures and getting excited about it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and really hoping I can start it on schedule because I am so ready to not be the girl with the face like the surface of Io.

(Io, FYI, is a moon of Jupiter and the most volcanically active place in the solar system, second only to my face.)

Pictures of this gorgeous day later.
