Itchy?

Is anyone else out there itchy? 


Deep winter is making me VERY uncomfortable again.  You know, deep winter?  When the air is so dry is sucks every bit of moisture out of your hide no matter how much you moisturize? 


I've tried moisturizing soaps.  I've tried skipping showers.  I've tried various and sundry lotions.  I use benign laundry soap/fabric softeners.  I sit here scratching.  My back itches.  My tummy itches.  My scalp.  In the bend of my elbow.  The backs of my knees. 


I try, unsuccessfully, to not scratch in public, so people don't think I have a skin disease or something.  I just can't stand it!!


I sometimes close my eyes and try to meditate the itch away.  Haven't had much success with that yet. 


My favorite part of the day is when I can come home, strip down as much as possible and switch to super saggy soft unstructured clothes that barely touch me and then scratch my hide with my hair brush.  AHHHHHH!!!  I swear that this time of year, if I had to choose between a good scratching session and a great orgasm I'd opt for the scratching session!


Sometimes scratching that itch can be a downright super fantastic feeling!!! 


I can't wait to be sweaty.  I want moist, well moisturized skin again!


Sigh.


Go away winter...
