Woke up scratching again, didn’t even realize until my arm was already raw. Stripped the sheets this morning and threw everything in a hot wash, figured it couldn’t hurt either way. Spent way too long standing there smelling the detergent bottle trying to decide if it’s the culprit or if I’m just losing it at this point.
Tried to play through part of a song on guitar before work but my fingers kept catching on the dry patches on my knuckles, had to stop halfway and just gave up. Opened the budget notebook at lunch instead and actually logged receipts for once instead of letting them pile up in my bag like usual.
Shop was slow today so I mostly just stood there resisting the urge to scratch my forearm in front of customers, which is its own kind of exhausting. Iced it when I got home and it’s a little calmer now. Going to try sleeping with socks on my hands tonight, never done that before but I’m willing to try anything at this point.
