back to normal?

I'm on hold with the hospital, waiting to pre-register for a routine but unpleasant EEG. As expected, they interrupt the music at intervals with announcements. Until very recently, any announcement in any remotely medical context was related to covid (get vaccinated, wear a mask, here's how to get tests). Maybe just "don't neglect other medical care because of covid; we can keep you safe."

Now they're just telling me how great the Mount Auburn Weight Loss Center is. Six. Times.

Thanks! The EEG went as well as such things ever do. I think the modern adhesive is easier to get out of my hair than the stuff they used in the 20th century.

Cool!

When my son has EEGs, they put some kind of glue dissolver in his hair afterward, to help get the glue out. That seems to help!

My hair is not nearly as thick as it used to be, but it's now past my waist. Which makes it hard to get gunk out of it. I used some coconut oil into it, which is my current solution for removing sticky stuff. (My mom always threatened to use peanut butter, which apparently actually works, but when I was little and blew bubbles despite always having my hair in my fact I THOUGHT it would just make matters worse.)
