Good morning, #nostriches!

I am a lobster. I am in pain. I haven't slept well in days. I am a colossal idiot. 😅

Wearing a shirt is painful. Moving is painful. Thankfully, breathing is not painful. My skin is in really bad shape. There's only one awkward position that I can manage to get some sleep in, but it doesn't last long. I'm so glad I only have to suffer through one more day of work before a long weekend. I had a lot I want to do, but, gosh, I ruined all those plans.

Live and learn. Pain is a pretty effing good teacher if you pay attention to the signal.

Yes, I'm hydrating.

Yes, I'm moisturizing. (As best I can. I can't reach everywhere.)

There's not much else I can do at the moment

100% aloe and a lidocaine spray if it's itchy

I usually shy away from chemical interventions... But, I'm just about to give up being stubborn since my skin is still in really awful shape.

I tried everything a few years ago when I fell asleep at the beach. everything else was a waste of money and time for me. if I had known about aloe on day 1 I don't think I would have needed the spray. but since I let it dry out by day 3 it was ridiculously itchy under my skin and it took a day or 2 for aloe to moisturize skin, so the spray helped me survive until the aloe remoisterized.
