well, it's the third of march and things are going well. the weather looks good outside and i am wanting to spend some time by myself while it is nice outside. i had a really difficult night last night, and ended up shaving most of the hair off my body. it's an OCD thing that i really hate but i don't know how to keep from doing it when the pressure gets to be too much. so now i am a relatively hairless puppy. oh well, it provided some relief in the short term. i have an appointment to see my shrink tomorrow, so i'm going to talk to him about meds. in the meantime, i will do what i need to do to keep it together.
