his name is Burt

No not a boyfriend. A pimple a large zit on my chin. It is one of those deep painful ones that throbs.

I woke up with it this morning. Last night, there was nary a hint of him there. Now he has blossomed into a large and imposing presence. I woke up this morning and had a prompt flash back to Jr. High School.

However, in the intervening years I have stopped stocking my cabinet with acne remedies. So I will be winging it,

I hope Burt is a short visitor. He can really go anytime he feels like it. I would not miss the throbbing.

You know how every woman wants to look younger once she is older than a certain age? Well- this is not what I meant when I said I wanted to look younger.
