I’m still not picking my fingernails & I’m still drawing every day, even if only a few minutes. But I’ve been picking the heck out of my face the past couple days. Monday morning I went to the dentist for the first time in 8-ish years & learned not only do I have gum disease, but it’s going to take multiple visits & thousands of dollars to treat.

I’m on vacation this week, so I’m off my usual routine & spending a lot of time at home, which is gross, dirty, & cluttered. I live with my family, so there’s only so much I can do about that. The rest I just have to accept. Let go or be dragged. Do what I can do. I have to call my work today to arrange more time off for the upcoming dental work & call my bank to give them a heads up.
