10:51 am - Cheating, exploding chili, doctors, and more.

OK I cheated a little today and I got a bagel, but I compromised and only ate half of it. I guess I'll have to eat less gradually.

So yesterday I heated up some chili for lunch, and I guess I must have heated it too long, because when I took it out of the microwave it blew up. It splattered all over the microwave, the walls, the floor and me. It covered one side of my glasses, got in my hair, on my sweater, and a few drops landed on my arm and burnt me. I have little red spots on my arm from it now. They blend in nicely with my Nair scars.

I was setting appointments today and I realized something: I see a LOT of different doctors. Let's count...
  1. Primary Physician (Doctors Grossman)
  2. Optometrist
  3. Dentist
  4. Dermatologist (although "Kevin" isn't really a doctor)
  5. "Woman doctor"
  6. Podiatrist (also known as Kevin)
Is that normal? Why do I have to see so many? They should have like, doctor department stores where you can get everything taken care of in one place. Seriously, it's quite a hassle.

Speaking of doctors, one of the ones I set an appointment for today was fake doctor "Kevin," my nurse practitioner dermatologist. When I saw him in November he told me to come back in eight weeks, which would be the end of this month. Two weeks to go and I'm still not seeing any progress on my face. He's got me on three prescriptions and the results are not much better than what Proactiv did when I used that: Dry skin and bleached clothes. Is there hope for my face? Seriously, when three heavy duty prescriptions combined doesn't help, what else can you do? I hope lasers. I want to laser it all off and start afresh. I can afford that, right?
