A long day

Nothing dramatic happened. You’ve been on your feet since morning, you’ve been licking your lips since noon and it isn’t working, the backs of your hands are annoyingly dry, and it’s 4 pm.

Aloe gel that absorbs in about a minute. Foot balm for before bed. Lotion
bars that live in a bag or a drawer. Lip balms scattered everywhere, which
is the correct number. Ginger lime and eucalyptus lemon, for when the
shower is a reset rather than a wind-down.

Small comforts. That’s the whole pitch.
