I have to confess something and you are my practice

I haven’t bathed or showered in over a month. Even for my nieces wedding I just washed my hair. I have pretty much worn the same clothes without washing them in between. When I go out to get something I just change into yoga pants and pull my jets hoodie over my pajama shirt.

I’ve done that before. When I first came to Sugar Mountain Assisted Living I didn’t shower for two or three months. No one said I smelled bad or anything. That is when people in these places say you need to take a shower - when you smell bad. That was over fifteen years ago. I’ve been showering regularly now. I’ve been on the street and hadn’t showered in months before. No one said I smelled bad, though a few people said I looked awful.

I smell fine. My hair is so dry it never gets greasy. I use deodorant and brush my teeth. Just can’t make myself shower

But I look like hell

It took me a little over a year to start showering again.

That’s an interesting point cuz i read that shampooing regularly strips ur hair of grease so ur scalp pumps out a lot of oil to compensate for it, and once u stop doing that ur hair will naturally not get greasy anymore cuz ur not stripping it regularly. I am trying using baking soda sparingly but whenever i see my mom she says i smell bad so i am having to wash it more often. But not washing hair will make it much healthier.
