Dreadful
I am tidying my hair. With waist-length dreads that haven't been tidied up in literally years, this is a Big Deal. I'm knotting up all the roots (some of which have up to 3 inches of normal undready hair), and sewing in all the loose flyaway hairs (I just sewed a clump of loose hair into one dread that was about half the thickness of the dread itself - that one alone took an hour!).
I spent all day Friday working on them, half of Sunday, and most of today (or yesterday, seeing as how it's just gone midnight) and I've now only done 44 of 69 dreads. Everything aches - my back keeps grinding, my shoulder muscles are burning, and my scalp is horribly uncomfortable.
I'm posting this here because if I don't, I'll be half tempted to give up and ignore the ones that I haven't done - not a great idea, as they look so obviously different! I'll post photos when I'm done, and then I'll feel all accomplished (and now I've posted that, I'm obliged to finish them and take photos!).
I will look tidy for uni! I will!
(Also, my fingers are raw. Did I mention that? No? I'm mentioning it now.)
