IRL things I haven't got anyone to complain to atm
The bad:
- I've been shedding a lot of hair the last week. It seems to be getting better, and even if not, I'm not so sentimental about my somewhere-below-shoulder length hair that I won't get a pixie cut if it gets too bad. It started after my hair suddenly got MEGA GREASY for a week, after which I did an apple cider vinegar rinse against dandruff. The grease let up, but at what cost.
Part of the story here is that Covid-19 and lucky coincidence the two weeks before it meant that my second attempt at quitting shampoo was a lot more realistic than the first, some five years ago. I'll admit that my real ambition was the hope that natural oils in hair would translate into less frizz, which has only been moderately successful. There's also the environmental aspect of how much hair product do we really need, anyway?
Anyway. Here's to hoping that it's over so that my mum won't be panicking about it when I go home for the summer in a week or so.
- One pair of sandals give me mighty blisters, another just EATS THEIR WAY INTO MY FEET. Such is the punishment for my vanity.
The good:
- Talking about vanity, I've dropped some three or four kilos since New Years and a lot of my clothes are suddenly cute on me.
- I got this poster and it transformed my living room.
- The kids are out of school and the teachers only have a few mandatory meetings, so my days are bright and easy.
- I have, for the third time, gotten a lot of compliments on my baking from colleagues. I'm still a bit hesitant about claiming mad skillz since the only thing I do differently is that I use cold rising a lot, but that's mostly just becaues it's easier to make the dough the night before than stress about it after coming home from work.
- I've got a straw big enough for the bubble tea sized tapioka, meaning that I can drink bubble tea at home. Huzzah.
