i had to cancel appointments last night and this morning because i have scabs all over my face and look utterly disgusting, but it is washing off, and i don't think it's getting worse.
it's just a process of actually cleaning it off. it's just dirt, it's just filth, and it washes off like any other filth and dirt. the problem is that that process is extremely time consuming and can require repeated applications of various types of soap over and over again.
i spent all night last night scraping, slept briefly, spent all day scraping slept all day and started back on it tonight. i'm going to guess i might be presentable by tomorrow or monday.
i have changed my locks. only i have the keys. so i'm prioritizing cleaning myself up first, under the assumption that this won't happen again.
the most annoying thing is that the inside smoking has largely stopped, as soon as i signed the consent agreement. i need to leave by oct 31st. i think the worst smokers are leaving by sept 30th. there was a pothead smoking joints outside my window that has left.
i'm not sure i can get anybody to agree, but if i can chase the potheads out of here, could i resign here for nov 1st?
it's the biggest, cheapest place i'm going to find. it's just that i can't live in the filth of my neighbours' fucking smoke.
