lukewarm water, quieter scalp

This week went better than I expected. I switched to lukewarm water for washing my hair, did it 5 nights out of 7, and my scalp actualy calmed down by Thurday instead of staying red and flaky. Why lukewarm makes that much difference, I have no idea, but it worked. The hairline patch is still there but quieter now. Knitting kept my hands busy while I doom-scrolled job listings – sent 3 applications, heard back from none, so that’s its own kind of itch. Also dug my old budget spreadsheet back out since I keep stress-buying skincare. Next week I want an actual bedtime instead of 1am scrolling. Small week, but a calmer one!
