Picking at the Problem
No photos today - too tired. And too tired of beating myself up for picking at my mosquito bites! How is this involved with hoarding? It is one of the worst types of hoarding - a hoarded habit. A hoarded bad habit. Without any redeeming qualities whatsoever!
I started in my youth (no excuse, just background) and I still scratch, then as the scratching creates wounds, I pick at the scabs. But this time, I may have gone a bit too far, and one of the wounds became infected - needing antibiotics, and worst of all, stopped me from my swimming! (Not good for infected skin to be in jacuzzis and chlorinated pools)
But I have made a vow - I am letting go of the need to itch - and the next bite I get, I am going to sort through a box of my junk (or more if necessary!) until the itching goes away. Even if it happens in the middle of the night, I will be vigilant - and not pick.
For those who know me, they know that giving away this favorite hobby is more difficult than discarding almost anything else. So wish me luck - I hope this time, I have picked a better solution!
