I don’t have time for a long post today, because in about ten minutes I’m leaving for a journalism conference. But today I woke up thirty minutes before I had to in order to straighten my hair. I haven’t straightened my hair for a long time now, but I know how much easier it is to deal with when I’m traveling. So I went out on a limb and hoped that I could finish with this mass of hair before I had to finish packing and eat. And I did! It looks weird to me because I’ve become so used to seeing my large puff every morning, but I’m relieved that I don’t have to care for it for the next few days.
