#my swim habits are impeded by executive dysfunction and spotty car access

[crimeronan]

by far the most vexing part of regular exercise is the need to shower regularly. my standard of personal hygiene is such that i shower when it becomes too uncomfortable to sleep, which i'm sure everyone thinks is gross but like. i do what i gotta do. during my worst autoimmune flares i could go like ten days between showers bc i couldn't stop sleeping & absolutely could not spend energy on Cleaning My Body. nowadays if i exclusively lay in bed, i can go 2-3 days between showers (when it isn't hot) before i feel Yucky. but if i exercise?? fuck me. ya bitch has to get in the wet box every goddamn day. i go out and shamble my crippled ass over a few miles, wandering wherever my ADHD whims take me, and then i have to save enough energy for showering because there's this WHOLE OTHER TASK that i have to do now before i can sleep. otherwise i will be uncomfortably aware of The Sludge and The Slime and The Skin and lay awake for hours. i am TIRED of washing my hair and scrubbing off grime. Let Me Exercise Without Getting Gross!!!
