Quick Update

Phew! I'm feeling much better, thankfully. I'm not totally feeling 100% yet, but maybe 75% and no longer feel like I'm going to die!

Know how I know I'm feeling better? I'm up and doing stuff instead of interacting with my couch like it's my long lost friend.  I finally did my dishes, cleaned up a bit (can we say tissues everywhere?) and now I'm sitting here with a deep conditioner on my hair. So I'm feeling productive, which is a change from the rest of this past week.

As I said, I'm deep conditioning my hair, and I use olive oil mixed with any old cheapie deep conditioner. The reason for this, is that for me, plain olive oil doesn't work well as a deep-ish conditioner for my hair. I mix it with a thick, creamy conditioner and microwave it until it's warm, (about 10 seconds) mix well and I work it through my dry hair, plop on a shower cap (even saran wrap works if you don't have a shower cap) run a blow dryer over it for about 30 seconds and quickly wrap it all in a towel and let it sit for an hour or however long I can.Then I rinse well and shampoo - no additional conditioner needed.  My hair comes out so, so soft, it's amazing, and the feeling lasts for a few days. I try to do this once a week, but normally it only happens every 2 weeks.

I have a ton of laundry to do from this week, all the blankets I used when sick most especially. Gotta get rid of any lingering germs on things, such as remotes, phones, toothbrush etc. I don't want to reinfect myself!  Anyway, while I'm toiling away at work tonight, and chores this afternoon, my hair will be silky soft!

Happy Friday!
