Time…

September 20, 2010 – 9:26 pm

Dear World, Time. Is a funny concept-thing-process, whatever. Here it is a bit after 9pm, and I have so much I want to do, yet I do need to sleep. I have just spent the past hour or so researching brain imaging studies in trichotillomania, and it has been profound to see the evolution from 1989 [...]

Today is a good day…

Good morning world! Today is a good day. Not for any particular reason, but I woke up late, and just made myself a cup of coffee. When I used the potholder (you know, the kind you made as a kid with cotton loops and wove them together…) to grab the teapot, I noticed the texture [...]

Trichotillomania and raccoons at 5:00am…

September 11, 2010 – 6:32 am

Good morning! Well, woke up about an hour ago, not sure exactly why, but got up to put the water on for a cup of coffee. As Rex was still asleep, I didn’t turn on any lights, as I could see well enough to get around. I did notice our calico cat, Isabella,as she scurried [...]

Recovery from hair pulling and skin picking

September 3, 2010 – 3:11 pm

Hmmm… Sometimes I wonder who reads these posts. What I do know is it is interesting for me to consider what I want to write about, as this blog is connected to TLC’s website. What I mean by this is that I feel like I have a responsibility to share at a level of support [...]
