Not that I don't get looked at on occasion because of my size, but the last ten days I've had to do this 'chemical peel' on my face and forearms to pretty much burn away any potential skin pre-cancers.  I've got big red blotches and scabs all over my face and arms.  I look like even more of a mutant.  I can see people staring at me without staring at me...if you know what I mean.

And the process if applying the stuff is quite pleasant in itself.  You really have to work yourself up to put the cream on your skin after day 5 because it burns like a mutha for about a half hour afterwards.  Figured I'd better get it out of the way since I have a follow-up with the dermatologist on Monday.  Hopefully some of this [BLEEP] on my face clears up by this weekend.  We're driving down to San Antonio for a little weekend getaway.
