Washed my hair with diluted shampoo this morning (But it didn’t feel diluted, still lathered up the same…) Then got mum to cut it.
It’s well short now. Feels fluffy too.
Gonna dye it tomorrow to hide all the grey. (Which doesn’t show up on crappy webcam photo, yay)
Starting again tonight. This is a statement of my motivation.
Thinking of buying myself a proper, expensive hairbrush, what with all the money being saved on shampoo and conditioner. :p Plus I get the feeling the hairbrush I have at the moment sucks.
Hair is only greasy along the parting at the top, at the ends it’s all nice and dry and stuff, hopefully it’ll all be like that eventually, once my head’s calmed down. I’m considering washing it every other day instead of every day. It takes like, three hours to dry… But maybe a good hairbrush could help with that too. I’ll stick with this routine for now. It forces me to put away time every day, which is nice. Before I just showered when I started to feel dirty enough or when I felt really annoyed. :p

I had an awesome dream this morning, there were several people all in this big country house, looked like it hadn’t been touched (or even dusted) for 100 years, they were locked in and trying to get out, doing detective work, finding hidden panels and stuff in the walls. But the best bit was, I was half dreaming I was watching it on telly at the same time as being one of the main characters. (A woman.) It looked like Murder She Wrote, it was rubbish quality and everyone was dressed like it was the 80s. I was enjoying it but mum woke me up. All the characters had split up and I was the woman, she’d just spotted a hidden compartment in the top right corner of a room, and was about to start climbing the wall to see what was behind it when I woke up. (It had one of those gym things against it like you got in school, folds away flat against the wall when not in use)
Was fun.
I reset. Going to bed at reasonable times for the next couple of days, before starting again. Slept from 8am-5pm today.It seems like such a waste of time, sleeping so much! I was enjoying all the time I got at night to just mess around. I did the dishwasher at 5am this morning and it was nice, because I felt like I didn’t have anything else to do with my time, it was free, unallocated.
I’ll try properly this time. I’ll follow the naps as closely as I can and tape over my volume control again. Maybe I won’t be on such an adrenaline high the second time around.
And In the other experiment, one thing I have noticed about my hair is it takes absolutely forever to dry now. It’s not itchy or smelly or anything, it just stays damp for ages (I checked, it doesn’t smell of anything) It feels oily at the moment, but I had a shower an hour ago and it ALWAYS feels like that afterwards before it’s totally dried, even with shampoo and conditioner and who knows what else. When it’s dry, it’s not as dry and frizzy as it normally is, but it’s not yet as bad as I was expecting, it still looks normal.
It does seem to be tangling easier than normal though, normally I can go days and days without brushing it or anything and it still looks exactly the same, but now it seems to be knotting up at the back a bit if I neglect it for a day.
On a different note, my hair still feels ok. Just making sure I brush it well and properly every day.
Been trying to use a bit less soap too and a patch of sore dry skin I’ve had for long enough that I’d given up trying to make it go away, months and months, has cleared up and healed completely in under a week, so that’s interesting.
4 days in, and this is what my chart looks like. The grey lines are planned naps and the very light blue are a halfway point for naps.
Today I changed my schedule from 12/4/8/12/4/8, to 11/3/7/11/3/7, it seems like a more convenient number, for some reason. Doesn’t look as pretty on the chart though.
