Managed the run-walk again after work, though by the time I got off the trail the sun was already low and my shirt was stuck to my back from the heat, which never does my skin any favors. The itching started around my waist where the waistband rubs, and by the time I was on the train home I was scratching without even noticing it, which I suppose is the part I still haven’t worked out how to manage.
What I kept today –
– rinsed off as soon as I got in, lukewarm, nothing hot
– moisturizer right after, the plain one, no fragrance
– long sleeves for bed even though it’s still warm out
What I didn’t keep –
– never got around to writing anything down, the commute just eats the evening
– skipped stretching, knees felt a little stiff for it probably
I keep telling myself I’ll build some kind of simple routine around all this, something I can actually stick to on the nights I get home late, but most evenings I’m just doing whatever keeps the itching down enough to sleep. Still turning over whether to break into one of the savings accounts over all this too, though I haven’t decided anything there, just sitting with it for now. Anyway, small progress on the walking at least, and I’ll take that!
