The surgeon, a young and handsome guy, read the referral letter.
He looked at my lip.
He said something to me and then suddenly,
in the middle of a sentence he said:
“do you do that a lot ma’am”
“Huh????”
“You just bite your lip”
“Did I…?”

He laughed, examined the spot once again and you know what it is?
I have callouses on my lip. No kidding!
I spend years, quietly biting my lip!

He even took a few photos of it, to use in a lecture.
The advice he gave: ‘Don’t bite your lip and it will go away eventually’.

Yeah, right. That’s easier said then done.
How do I break this habit?

I don’t wear lipstick very often, but when I came home I put a lot of lipstick on.
Maybe that will help to remind me not to bite my lip?

I might become famous as ‘the lipstick lady’…. 😀

Any other ideas to overcome this habit?
Someone?

I had no time for art this week.
My muse sits weeping in the attic.
She wants to play…

I will call her when I’m ready for her.

I did write a haiku though.
