Sometimes I can be a little hysterical, I guess. I got a fair bit of blood in my hair from an incident yesterday, and while trying to wash it out, I found myself standing in the bathtub thinking, “How on earth am I supposed to wash and dry waist-length hair around a healing wound for the next few days?” Being the kind of problem-solver who’s perpetually obsessed with finding the path of least resistance, I spontaneously decided to chop it all off. Well, technically not all of it, since I neither own nor have access to a razor at the moment, but I did manage to hack my way from waist-length to roughly ear-length in under a minute. No mirror, no planning, no second thoughts. I just stood in the bathtub, went to town, and hopped straight into bed. This morning was the first time I actually got to see the "masterpiece." While it’s safe to say that I’ll unlikely ever be able to make a cent being a hairstylist — in fact, I might risk being thrown in jail if I tried this on anyone else — I stand by my decision. It was a random but surprisingly practical move. The amount of efforts and energy I’m going to save on hair care while this wound heals is worth every slightly jagged lock… though it’s probably a good time to start adding a few hats to my shopping cart… 🤔 See, “there’s always a way out,” says the Clock King.
