Took my mom to her appointment again this afternoon, and somewhere between the waiting room and the pharmacy line my neck started itching under the collar, and by the time we got home it’d spread toward my collarbone, red and warm to the touch.
Telling myself it’s just stress, work’s been piling up right when I can least handle it (of course), and I barely slept last night answering emails way past when I should’ve been in bed.
Went for a run this morning anyway because I’d promised myself I would, and the sweat against my skin made everything worse instead of better, which felt like a small betrayal after actually showing up for myself for once.
Skipped lunch too, ate crackers at the counter mid call, and knowing that’s probably part of it doesn’t change what my body does lately.
Just tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix anymore~
