      My sheets still haven’t budged. The last update is they were “in transit” in my suburb 6 days ago. I was having them redirected to the post office, and I’m in the same suburb as my LPO, so I wonder if the redirection label just wasn’t applied well and someone got confused and tried to deliver it to my house where it was initially sent.

      I hope they don’t lose my sheets though, because couriers please lost my heater the week before. I just want pakig :(

    I think I have finally finalised the multi-friend-and -also-my-mum organisation of doggo sitting for the next 10 days. Very free, but I’m not sure whether we’d do it again this way - so many conversations with misunderstandings cos these people don’t have doggos. He’ll be fine right…?

    Dreaming having nightmare about poison butterflies that bite and it hurts when they bite, and when you catch them and throw them at the ground they turn into slime that then turns into mold. Thanks brain. WTF did that come from.

    Too much on at both jobs this week man, I wish I could cruise but no bueno. Tomorrow would’ve been ideal to wfh but I gotta go in for some training, so wasting 45 mins each way in traffic. I’m definitely leaving right on time tomorrow - left at 5:15 and the traffic was disgusting. Second job if I’m lucky I might be able to knock off early on Thursday in lieu of all the extra hours I’ve clocked up, but I’m going to need turbo caffienation.

        Deiwos is very upset right now lol

        Tuesday

        Old English tiwesdæg, from Tiwes, genitive of Tiw “Tiu,” from Proto-Germanic *Tiwaz “god of the sky,” the original supreme deity of ancient Germanic mythology, differentiated specifically as Tiu, ancient Germanic god of war, from PIE *deiwos “god,” from root *dyeu- “to shine,” in derivatives “sky, heaven, god.” Cognate with Old Frisian tiesdei, Old Norse tysdagr, Swedish tisdag, Old High German ziestag.

    Quick question - are those shower combs any good for detangling towel dried hair? Or do they only work well in the actual shower for spreading conditioner through? (That isn’t really what I need it for.)

    My hair’s growing out a bit long again and I am going to do something to deal with it.

    But for now I’m wondering if the shower comb would easily get the knots out after the shower, or if I should get a different style of wide tooth comb. (It would be from Kmart/Big W or Colesworth so I can chuck it in with the things I was going to buy anyway). A third alternative is a generic brand ‘wet brush’ from Ebay.

        I do both of those things. But for me that way leads to much more ripping out of knots. It’s like letting any knots dry only tightens them. And this is with a gentle shampoo and conditioner, because I’m using these bottles up before they expire.

        I’d rather just find something very wide toothed I can rake quickly through damp hair but the teeth on the shower comb look a bit blunt and the ‘wet care’ style is basically the same as the comb I have. The wet brush is very similar to the brush I have. The tangle teezer style I have can be used to detangle individual bad knots in lengths (wet or dry) but has such short bristles that it’s difficult to get through hair when trying to brush the top. I might try the combs with angled double teeth.

        For context

        I had extreme length hair for decades and it was well cared for. I managed it by combing extra products like leave-in through while damp, plaiting it, and brushing it morning and night starting at the tips.

        But I think it just tangles very easily because it’s so fine and even ‘normal long’ is now too much for me. It’s harder to lift my arms to brush or plait my hair. I also don’t want to buy expensive luxuries like extra hair products.)

         

        I’m also considering how much shorter I can go while still being able to tie it back. For me actual short hairstyles are the most fuss of all so that’s a no. My home cutting method results in layers so can’t go too short without turning it into a wolf cut (which means short pieces getting in my face or requiring pins/clips/styling).

        Or I could suck up my intense dislike for salons and pay the money to get a low maintenance straight cut bob that’s barely long enough for an elastic. (If I could cut a neat straight line of the right length at home I would have already done it.)

          Mm, you near bayside? I have a hairdresser who knows i don’t like to do anything but brush hair, and he’s come up with a short femme cut that looks fab and all i need to do is wash. And i have hair that’s thick, wavy and double crowned.

      I bought a Tangle Teezer brush years and years ago and it’s been amazing, it’s effortless. I have their Original brush and it’s great wet or dry, but I see they have one specifically for detangling wet hair too.

      https://www.tangleteezer.com.au/

      There are generics that probably do much the same thing.

        I have a knockoff and can use it wet or dry, but it’s only really used for bad knots on lengths. The bristles are a bit short for me.

      Best comb I’ve found for washing hair was a #2 about 15 years ago. Super quick lather and rinse since then…haha

        As in a buzz cut? It’s been considered, believe me. But I live in an area of ferals and am too tired to add homophobic comments to what I already deal with
