Flaring right before the move

3 weeks out from the move and my skin picked now to fall apart. Been up packing boxes til around 1am most nights this week, kid’s still got school in the morning so the whole routine is shot, and my neck and the backs of my knees are doing that raw, angry red thing again that I hadn’t seen since spring.

I know it’s the stress, I know it’s the sleep, don’t need anyone to spell that part out for me. Just frustrating because I finally had a stretch where I wasn’t thinking about my skin every 5 minutes, could just live my life a little, and now I’m back to checking in the mirror and wincing.

Client call this morning and I kept my sleeves down the whole time, not that anyone can even see over video, but it still felt necessary somehow. Tonight it’s more boxes instead of sleep. Probably not helping but there’s only so many hours in a day.
