to not wear a bra for a month.

It's one of the few positive aspects of my self-isolation.

I've collected a few old bras to experiment on. I think it will work. Will post results if I figure out a way to do it.

Pants are also optional. I have been mostly walking around in a big men's oxford button down shirt, unless I have to go down to the lobby for a delivery or a package. Why bother?

No makeup either. Not that I wear a lot anyway, but it's just nice not to have to bother.

I usually keep my bald fringe Captain Picard short.

If this goes on much longer, it will grow out to Bozo the Clown length...

Loss of taste and smell is one of the symptoms, so my poor hygiene is useful!


I’m kidding, but I’m also not washing and changing clothes as much. I live alone and I’m not working now, and I mostly tried to stay “sparkly clean” to be conscientious to others anyway.

I can't go more than 2 days without washiing my hair though

I have also been wondering what my hair will look like when I am finally able to get a haircut.

I shudder at the thought, actually. I have a short pixie and all those layers grow out in some really bizarre ways.

Well, not quite true. I had him cut about a foot off of mine to shoulder length. Grows like a weed, and its starting to get hot here working in the garden.

I don't wear a bra unless I'm going out in public anyway (which didn't happen that much, pre-Covid). Can't do without daily shower and shampoo down on the farm though.

I am finding myself slipping back into biting my nails again (properly sanitized!). Especially while watching Rachel at night.
