My Face Fell Off!

I finally have some lilacs. I had a perfect accomplice for the heists. Who would've guessed that we'd run into multiple lilac bushes on our stroll back yesterday evening? My Mama says that if you pick them this year more will bloom next year, so it was our duty to pick some from each one. Aren't they just gorgeous?

Anyway, per the title and for updating's sake, it's true = MY FACE FELL OFF, well the nasty crunchy part, at least. I have new skin already, and although it is freckleless and pink (Mikey can relate), it is beautiful. I keep touching it, which I probably shouldn't, but it is hard to believe otherwise. I'd post a new pic, but I'm assuming you're all as sick of my mug as I am.

It's not like I didn't think I would heal (for the most part), it's just that when you've felt kinda' shitty about something, you have to celebrate when things come around. I hit a low point last Saturday morning when I woke up with gauze welded to both of my knee wounds. We tried to ease the gauze off with warm water, though it didn't really help. I became incredibly frustrated with the slow pace of my healing and let my frustration spiral a bit to self-loathing pity. Today, however, I am amazed at the speed and relative ease of the process considering I had just busted out of the ER a week ago.

I seriously cannot stop smiling, in the mirror no less -- THE CRUNCHINESS IS GONE.

I think the yard made a much nicer vase.

There is a plant called a "Kalanchoe" that is sort of a desert like plant with flowers. They require minimal care, lots of light and can live outside (in the warm months) or inside. You would probably like them.
