I Think It's A Bad Sign...

When you go into the bathroom to put chlorhexidine on your ears, look in the mirror, wince while thinking "oh my god look at those bags under my eyes." Mentally stop yourself, go, "no, wait, you just smeared your mascara," wipe below your eyes with a wet towel, and nothing changes.

Seriously, I look like a got punched twice in the face.

On the plus side, first final down, three more to go.

And I watched Avatar 3x12 last night. More thoughts later.

Cucumber slices (or mushed up cukes, just don't get the juice IN your eyes) or cool wet teabags can help a bit with the dark circles; or Vitamin K creams if they're really bad...

And oh geeze, finally broke down and watched it since the spoilers are flying so thick and fast and I didn't want to wait for February...AIEEEE! Once the screencaps are up (if they're not up already, I haven't started looking yet), I may FINALLY have found the perfect scenes to use for my old S2 idea to make a "PRINCE OF DORKNESS" icon... ;)

Yeah, I can sympathize. I've got nasty circles, myself. Can't really reccomend anything, though. I've had little success with my attempts.

Jim has bad problems with bags. It's better than it used to be - when he was finishing up school, they were AWFUL!! He actually had to buy Mac concealer for his Senior Recital to cover up the bags because, under stage lights, you've never seen bags like THAT.

Rest and the end of this stress will help things greatly. It's likely incredibly exaggerated by being sick (I know I'll get them when I'm sick.)
