my bedroom, trying to scrub the heat from my cheeks with cool water. When that didn’t work I hopped into the shower for a quick rinse, suddenly self-conscious of how sweaty I got while working. When I was clean, I smudged a hand through the fog on the mirror, glared at myself, and then proceeded to moisturize my skin and beard liberally till I smelled like pine trees and felt a little less…like a mess.
