Day 35: Sunday 22 November 2009 – Nit neurosis.




With the passing of each day, I thank my lucky stars that another day has gone without my contracting nits, but that doesn’t stop me from obsessing.  The slightest itch on my head sends me into a frenzy, followed by five minutes of fixation, and thrice daily manic brushing of my ridiculously fast-sprouting head of dry, out-of-condition hair.   Volunteers share nit combs, tips to condition (the harsh chemical treatment is apparently a thing of the past), and sighs of relief each time we come up empty handed.   


Please, please let it stay that way!
