[Guest guest]

Thanks Cammie. You're right, our bodies are adjusting to so many

things right now, and that's bound to affect our moods as well. Lucky

me, in a month when I should be over this I get to switch birth

control pills and go on another roller coaster, right around the time

of my sister-in-law's wedding, tee hee.

I keep waiting for the zits, but instead I'm just getting all kinds of

flaky skin, like Retin-A times 10! I never knew jaw surgery would be

such a good exfoliant....
