I took a very long overdue shower. I confess I was in there quite a while. The heat of the water seems to have cleared my head/throat/chest a bit. I also feel better knowing I am more normal-looking. My hair was looking like the witch from the Loony Toons. I did a lot of self-care stuff, but there always seems to be more I could do. I'm a rather "au naturelle" type woman, but even still, there's a lot of self-care if one wants to be sort of ideal about it.
