You know what's annoying?

Sometimes (often) I have dirt on my hands. It's not too visible unless I wash my hands, but then you can see gray suds. Icky. But I can feel the dirt. And once I do, I have to wash my hands. It'd be better if it were some sort of OCD thing, so I could say "there's no dirt there". But there is dirt there, and once I realize it, hands must be washed now. *grumbles*

On the up side, when I'm done I know my hands are clean, not merely washed. Course, I wish this super-sense extended to my hair. I'm likely to forget that it needs to be washed until it's been a week, at which point it's all oily and greasy and stringy and all.

I don't take a shower every day. Why would I? Every other day, if I remember.

Ah, see I feel kind of gross if I go for more than a day without a shower. And my hair's really oily, so it's a real mess if I don't wash it everyday.

Even if I could remember to take a shower every day, I still probably wouldn't. No matter how oily my hair is, it doesn't get that oily that fast. After one day in the shower, it's still pretty flyaway.

My sister swears that the best thing to do with oily hair is to wash it with conditioner. She says that it produces less oil that way because you're not stripping it of all its oils first.

I used to not really be good about hygeine stuff when I was a kid, but as an adult I don't feel like my day's really "started" unless I've had a shower. I guess it's a mindset thing.

I've tried using conditioner everyday, and that made my hair icky too, though using it every other day worked fine. Now I never bother, though I probably should.

ditto, except that I take baths now, because I often have trouble standing up through a shower.

I do, however, wash my hands every morning, since I wash after every time I go to the bathroom, and tend to do so first thing in the morning. Then I generally wash my face.

I also wash my hands before cooking, if I'm cooking. But I don't generally cook. And if it's something that doesn't involve cooking the food, I might not bother.

I also wash my hands after playing with the cats and stopping being lazy. That is, I know I should directly after, but I don't. But eventually the allergy gets to me enough to motivate me.

Your pointless Leora hygeine update. :)
