Hair combing and back to work

[chess]

Last day of holiday and I finally got around to sorting out my hair, which was merrily growing into a beaver tail. Now I can get a comb through it (if a particularly wide toothed one) and it's kind of become weird floaty princess hair, but overall it feels nicer than bog witch hair.

Work is providing me with a nice gentle landing from the holidays as we really need to get all the rest of the information off the old information management system and open up the new one by close of play tomorrow, so I got to spend a nice day rolling around in documentation and updating it and making it useful and easy to find, which is my favourite thing. After a bit of an epic planning meeting going through the DevOps backlog and making it reflect reality, but that is my second favourite thing. And I also got to feel smart as a PR reviewer and sounding board for some ideas and problems, which is my third favourite thing. So very spoiled.

Currently suffering a bit from not having any hobbies other than eating, the occasional online LARP and maybe walking places, but I am wary of taking on anything that I might feel responsible for continuing because this is clearly the upswing of a 'do all the things, overload, drop all the things' cycle...

Congratulations on combing hair, as my response to "this hair is not working" is to just cut it all off and start again and combing is terrifying.

I rely on my hair as a stress toy too much to remove it :-)

I recommend tangle teezer for pain-reduced hair grooming, although my hair is fine

My hair likes to eat hair taming implements; the only success I've had is with an extremely robust wide spaced, wide toothed comb which can't have bits pulled off at all easily :)

my hair breaks comb teeth off... hair ey
