I want to say how much I'm enjoying my new toothpaste. I'm obsessing a little, and flossing more than usual, but I believe that these ocd moments are transitory in nature.
Moving on. Last night I decided to implement the new shampoo. First I added a tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of water. I then added a teaspoon of baking soda. I showed my concoction to VSC who thought that mixing the two key ingredients (lemon juice and baking soda) probably rendered each useless. Grumbling I returned to the kitchen. This time I added a tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of water. I then dumped a bunch of baking soda into a separate cup and carried along a teaspoon. Triumphant I returned to the living room. This time VSC pointed out that entering the shower with about 5 teaspoons of baking soda, when I only needed 1, would surely result in a wet pasty mash. Grumbling I returned to the kitchen. I dumped the baking soda back into the Arm & Hammer box. I then measured out only 1 teaspoon of baking soda into my cup and returned to the living room with 1 cup of water / lemon juice mixture and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a separate cup. Finally I was ready for the shower. VSC insisted on watching as she thought this was all very funny.
Once in the shower I turned on the hot water so my toes weren't cold. I then wet my hair a little and dumped the baking soda on top. I massaged gently. Next I added the lemon juice / water mixture to the top of my head. This resulted in mass profanity because the mixture was frackin' cold. However I persevered and massaged gently. VSC advised me that the Aussie was very concerned about my progress. She was pacing outside the bathroom door and attempting to push her head in to check on my well being. Eventually I managed to complete my hair washing. Exhausted I exited the shower, brushed out the wet hair, and put myself to bed.
Today my hair smelled like hair. I also noticed that we are almost out of soap. Are you fucking kidding me? I can't possibly be expected to replace toothpaste, shampoo and soap all in the same week. Sigh.

Um...you might want to go a little slower. What are your plans for replacing soap? Is this going to involve a cauldron in the back yard? (Because, if so, you're awesome).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think you're supposed to rinse between the baking soda and the lemon juice. You want the lemon juice to be acidic, and if the baking soda is still on your head it neutralizes it.
I waited until I was in the shower to add water to my baking soda and vinegar. That way I was at least pouring warm water on my head.
