MOST CURIOUS
So I took a shower this morning. I do that most every morning, as I enjoy being clean. But when I left the house shortly thereafter, I noticed that my typically fluffy, lustrous hair did not have the usual spring in it's step. It felt thick and heavy. When I touched it, it felt icky and gross.
This, you can be assured, was a most off-putting realization. I'm not myself when my hair isn't up to snuff. I feel weak and ineffectual. I'm not Jake!
Immediately, I began to ponder this strange occurrence. Was it possible that I forgot to shampoo my hair in the shower? I am a man with a lot on my mind, so certainly there's a chance. But not washing my hair wouldn't explain why it felt so gross. I mean, I'd just washed it the morning before, for the sake of goodness.
Then I thought that perhaps I had shampooed my hair, but forgot to rinse out all the soap. That could explain why my hair felt so odd, but surely I would have noticed the soap when I dried off my head, right?
No matter what the cause was, I knew I needed to wash my hair again. So after class I went back home and was preparing to jump back in the shower when I heard my sweetie bear come home. Before I can says anything to her, she says to me she says "ugh, my hair is all gross 'n stuff".
Well, by now I'm pretty perplexed. Surely we didn't BOTH forget to wash our hair or rinse out the shampoo. But we did both shower in the same shower. We were doused with water from the same pipes, separated by about 30 minutes. Could there have been something wrong with the water that morning?
I ran the shower and checked the water, and everything seemed fine. We both showered again and our hair returned to normal. But this strange hair occurrence will not be forgotten. Are the pipes bad? The water heater? The $25 shower nozzle with different customizable settings for purposes of massage?
I don't know what the deal is. But between this and that darned mouse incident, I think we might be getting out of this house just in the nick of time. Just two more months until school's done, how about that.
