Hello again. Update: I haven’t picked my fingernails lately, but I’m still picking the skin around my fingernails, my lips, & my face. I haven’t meditated since I wrote last & I stopped watching Annette Pasternak’s videos on YouTube. I have an alert on my tablet every afternoon to remind me to meditate, but it’s easy to ignore.

I want to start drawing again though. I’m writing that here because it’s relevant to keep my hands busy & not picking. I like the drawings I make on scratch paper & the backs of envelopes, but never in sketchbooks. Go figure. I’m making a commitment to draw (almost) every day for the rest of this month, even if it’s only for 5 minutes.
