Schedule flipped again this week, night shift then straight into mornings, and I stayed up way too late on the couch gaming instead of sleeping. Forgot the lotion before bed, which never ends well.
Woke up with that itchy feeling behind my neck, and the skin on my inner elbow was dry and a little raised. Did the routine anyway, just slower than usual.
– kept: cool compress before anything else
– kept: fragrance-free lotion, patted in, not rubbed
– didn’t keep: no scratching (lost that one by the afternoon, not gonna lie)
– didn’t keep: sitting up straight, went right back to hunching over the screen
Shoulders are stiff again from all that hunching. I guess that’s what happens when you trade sleep for one more round of a game. Picked up the book I keep meaning to start too, only got through a few pages before my eyes gave out.
Kept it ‘boring’ on purpose today. Same steps, nothing new, just trying not to make it worse.
