stormdogI'm keeping busy between working on tickets for work with getting my todo list done for the weekend. But I also stopped at lunch to have a nice long shower and spend time on my hair, since I haven't taken care of it as well as I should have while I was away. It's nice and clean, and I combed it out, and it's just finished air-drying. It is also in pig-tails. *giggles* The ends are a little thin, but there really aren't many splits that I can find. I think that perpetually thin-looking ends are just the price of having hair with significant curl to it.
Since I'm thinking about hair, I'm thinking again about learning to braid my own decently well. It's something that I've wanted to be able to do for a long time, but I haven't managed to develop the knack. I think if I could just see the back of my own head while I'm working, I could get it quickly. I have no problem doing a basic three-strand on other people, or even on the sides of my head, but I haven't been able to translate it to the back.
I think there's a piece of furniture that has movable mirrors that will let you see the back of your head, isn't there? It's not quite a vanity; or at least, not just a vanity, since those can have just one mirror, and then you have to use a hand-mirror to see yourself from behind. I'd like to have two hands free while looking at my hair from the back. Does anybody know the sort of thing I'm taklking about, or if it even exists? Maybe I'm only thinking of a room divider sort of thing with mirrors that you stand in the middle of, but I feel like I've seen a vanity sort of thing with an integral seat and mirrors in the right places. Sitting in something like that and playing with my hair would make me feel so good!
I'm just thinking happy hair thoughts right now.

Maybe I'm just thinking of something like this with little fold out mirror-wings on the main mirror. Something like that but with bigger foldy-wings is I think what's in my head.
