Good morning, world. Both kitties are in the doorway, soaking up some morning sun. I can hear some crows, and I wish they’d come out this way so I could feed them crackers.* I briefly woke up when Shawshank‘s alarm went off, but quickly fell asleep again. Although I only slept until about 6am, this might be one of the longest sleeps I’ve had in over a year.
I spent part of yesterday morning dodging the robot vacuum. Normally, I’m usually doing my makeup while the vacuum makes its scheduled Tuesday morning trek. Yesterday, I ended up finishing my face shortly after the robot left the base. It conveniently managed to finish most of the living room before I started up my game.
After Just Dance, I devoted the rest of the day to doing hair shit. I ratted up another half-dozen or so pre-locs before Shawshank came home in the afternoon. My ability to consistently “pack” the hair improves with each one. Just before he returned, I moved everything into the kitchen to start sealing them. I’m not quite as consistent with sealing, but I believe some of that will improve with my prep skills. A better foundation should make a better finished product.
As an experiment, I tried my hand at making a two-color twist. It’s a little tricky, as I needed to try to keep the two colors distinct when the whole point is matting the hair together. My first attempt looks a little like it was squeezed from a tube of 1980’s Aquafresh (barely visible at the top/center of the pile in Fig. 1). I’ll keep working on it. I can’t improve without practice.
* I threw some crackers near where they hang out anyway. Just in case.
