Holly Blog 18: Sticky Elbows

I’m not exactly sure how I did this, but I did and I have to tell you all about it. For breakfast, we had French toast, random stuff, and juice. I don’t like my food touching unless I do it at the appropriate time…and food that is soggy really stresses me out. So I have to put all my food in containers so that my food stays uncontaminated by other gastronomic delights. Hence today, I put my French toast on my plate, slathered it with softened butter, and put the syrup in a bowl. I’m a dipper and not a pourer.

After breakfast, I went potty and to change clothes in the ladies stall. While seated, I put my elbows on my knees and they stuck. What?!?!!! is going on?! Somehow I had gotten syrup from my tiny little bowl next to my French toast on my elbows and now there is syrup on the inside of my pants. I eventually did get cleaned up, but I still feel a little grimy.

This is my week to experiment with my hair and swimming. I need a relatively quick hairstyle so that my mane of glory doesn’t look like a tumbleweed/fro/confused mess. I’m really nervous because I don’t like experimenting. I looked up on Google “Natural hair and swimming in the lake” and found a few things. Basically, I am going to swim and then lather up my hair with olive oil and aloe vera gel. I’m not sure if this is going to work, but I’ll let you know in subsequent blogs. So far, my scalp doesn’t itch. I’m going to see if my hair can wait until the weekend to get washed. I hope I don’t grow any animals in my mane—that’s not sexy and husband potentials don’t prefer afro-animal-growth.

Until later in my life, peace and blessings.
