We just listened to an audio book, Plagues, Pandemics, (and something else. Can’t remember it) it was hours and hours long. (We had to make three trips to Medford, Oregon. About 7 hours, round trip) Bit of a story, here. Anyway…back to the audiobook.
Detailed, and in truth, pretty educational.
I worked in a medical clinic for some ten years. Knew to wash my hands.Well, apparently I did not learn well enough. I do wash my hands, but…
Now, I wash my hands, seriously, with soap. And, regularly. Like the lady said, “Wash your hands like you have been cutting jalapeño peppers, with no gloves”. Regularly. (the consequences of not doing so will give you nightmares)
Plus, keep your hands away from your eyes and mouth. Period. Bacteria and germs have a straight shot into your system, here.

Plagues, Pandemics and Viruses: From the Plague of Athens to COVID-19
Spoilerhttps://www.amazon.com/Plagues-Pandemics-Viruses-Plague-COVID-19/dp/B08M6D2ZH8 Listen to the preview
SpoilerIt can come in waves - like tidal waves. It changes societies. It disrupts life. It ends lives. As far back as 3000 B.C.E. (the Bronze Age), plagues have stricken mankind. COVID-19 is just the latest example, but history shows that life continues. It shows that knowledge and social cooperation can save lives.
Viruses are neither alive nor dead and are the closest thing we have to zombies. Their only known function is to replicate themselves, which can have devastating consequences on their hosts. Most, but not all, bacteria are good for us. Some are truly horrific, including those that caused the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic plagues. And viruses and bacteria are always morphing, evolving, and changing, making them hard to treat. The book is an enlightening, and sometimes frightening, recounting of the destruction wrought by disease, but it also looks at what humanity has done and can do to overcome even the deadliest and bleakest of contagions.

Well, my latest adventure. Yesterday was our circuit assembly. Wonderful, by the way.
Day before. Working in the garden. Me, puttering away, doing in as many wild berries, as i could. Sid, my husband, getting ready to burn a dried pile of briers. It had a tarp on it. Um, garden snakes had made the pile of briars its home. About 20 of them. And three lizards. We got them out of there. And moved the burn pile, in case they had any underground homes.
Well my hair got smoke on it.
I had to wash it, and i had not planned on it. By now, later in the day.
My hair is long, and, um, white. I use purple stuff to get rid if the orange mineral deposits. I grabbed some outdated stuff. When i finished, my hair was purple. I kid you not. Purple. I showed my hair to Sid, he said, “Donʼt worry about it”. (Bless his heart)Well, I am not going to the assembly with PURPLE hair. It’s semi-permanent. I grabbed
Dawn soap. I had to wash it three times. I has a light lavender highlights, that are under the top layer of my hair.
No one noticed! And I actually got a compliment.I know this is a bit mundane, but, Iʼm still chuckling over it all.

Hard water damages hair by coating it with layers of mineral deposits, including calcium, iron and manganese. These minerals can even turn your hair an unsightly orange or brassy color
SpoilerStep 1
Rinse your hair with purified water after shampooing. This will wash away mineral deposits left by the hard water.
Step 2
Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo that's designed to eliminate buildup and residue. After shampooing, treat your hair with conditioner, then rinse.
Step 3
Combine 2 tablespoons of white or apple-cider vinegar with 1 pint of lukewarm water. Pour the vinegar mixture over your hair in the shower. For better coverage, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and mist your hair all over. Leave the vinegar in your hair for as long as 10 minutes, then rinse well. The odor of the vinegar will go away after your hair dries.
Step 4 - 6
You should try the purple hair style. You'll look equally gorgeous in purple. Just not for large gathering

This is why i do not like to wash my hair. Its a bit of a process. I do this and do that, and then deep conditiom the mess i made.
If I lived closer to the beauty saloon, and, um, could afford it, Iʼd pay someone to wash it.
Cut it? No, believe it or not, other then washing, it is easy maintence, longer. Thanks for your attempt to help me. 🌹-
