Three nights now on maybe 4 hours of sleep, work piling up out of nowhere then going dead quiet for a week, driving my parents to appointments in between, and my skin’s started flaking along my jaw again like it always does when things get like this.
I keep telling myself I’ll go to bed earlier, and then it’s midnight and I’m still finishing something that could’ve waited.
Started running a few weeks ago thinking it’d help me sleep better, and some days it does, but today just felt tired in that itchy, dry, can’t-settle way. Not the good tired.
Meals have been whatever’s closest, skipped lunch again today, and I can feel it in my skin before I even see it in the mirror. Just one of those weeks where everything’s a little grey around the edges.
