Flat gray

Patchy skies today, a few clear spots on my forehead but my scalp is acting like its own weather front. Spent most of the afternoon on a lopsided gray scarf instead of opening the budget spreadsheet again, tabs still sitting there unread. Applied to a couple jobs, wrote the same tired cover letter twice, then just sat there instead of doing a third one. Skin is not screaming right now, more like a dull static hum under cloud cover, which feels like progress this early into whatever this is. Hands are dry from the wool but at least they are busy with that instead of picking at flakes on the bad days. Kept an eye on the mailbox for the recruiter who said they would get back to me, nothing yet, so back to the scarf. Low pressure, mild, the kind of gray that just sits there and does not move, no thunder, no breaks in the clouds, just flat gray light through the blinds all afternoon.
