God bless me but sometimes I am just not bright.  Self-incriminating evidence below.

Since Monday early evening the top of my head was hurting.  I dismissed it figuring it was either caused by wearing my helmet so much or denting my head of the inside wall of the MRAP due to the bad roads causing us to bounce around so much.

It took idiot me until Tuesday afternoon to figure out it was because my head got sunburned while at Nukhayb.  I was only in the direct sun for 5-6 hours but that was enough.

To enhance my whining I paid a guy $3 to punch me on the top of my head.   I knew a haircut was not going to feel good but I felt like a hippy as it was probably grown out to an eighth of an inch or so.  Once my head goes from feeling like sandpaper to velvet it’s either put dreadlocks in or cut shave it.

What do you get for a $3 haircut?  Just what you expect and don’t expect. 

Don’t worry about looking in the mirror as it’s already too late to fix it.

Don’t worry about the guy massaging (really its punching) the top of your head for 20 seconds or so after the barber butchers your head.

Do worry about bald barbers.

Do worry about the goofs who wish to then massage your back (freaks).

Do worry about the barber with the ‘I ♥ Ba’thist t-shirt)

Ok this may sound weird but since I already clued you in on my food-touching-issue  (See my blog entry Why Does My French Toast Smell Like Bananas?) why not tell you about my potential PJ and slipper issue.

First, I don’t wear PJs or slippers.  Second, I will never wear PJs or slippers.  Third, if I did then that’s something I wouldn’t admit in a public forum anyway.  Oh mom and sisters, don’t put your two cents in on this blog entry.

Ok getting to my latest “issue”.  Each morning when I awake and finally walk outside to drink my coffee or head to the chow hall I find my inner voice yelling “I hope you are not wearing PJs and manly slippers socks”.   Seriously, this has been happening the last few weeks now.

It’s just that since my little piggies are better and found great cushions for my boots too it always feels like I am wearing a new pair of ubber-supper-fantasic-best-acme-zenith-thick socks.

As for the cammies, until about 9AM they always feel light and soft (ahhhhhhhh).  From 9AM  until I crash later that night they of course just suck.  With the nearly 120 degrees they feel water logged (ewwwwwww).

So there you go.  My latest issue.   Ha-ha

Thoughts on a cure??????
