I made a horrible tactical mistake. After coming in from a run and cooling off, I hopped into the shower at 7 p.m. I meant to just rinse off my body, but I was distracted, daydreaming, and without realizing it, I submerged my head under the shower and started shampooing! I don't know what I was thinking! I have long known that I should never, ever wet my hair unless I have at least a five hour period for it to dry, and there was no way I was staying up until midnight. There was no possible fix for this now; I was going to have to go to bed with wet hair.
You may think I am exaggerating about how long it takes for my hair to dry, but I will now tell you a TRUE story. I warn you that it involves childbirth, but please stay with it. I promise it's short and worth it and there will be no mention of body fluids.
When I was nine months pregnant with one of my assorted children, I got up in the morning and took my usual shower, washing my hair. (Curly hair must be washed in the morning in order for it to settle into a shape identifiable by mankind.) Right after I got out of the shower and put on my clothes, I went into labor. We rushed to the hospital, checked in at emergency, went up to the delivery floor, labor, labor, labor, yadda, yadda, yadda, child born, wheeled to room. AND MY HAIR WAS STILL WET FROM MY SHOWER.
True story. Next time you see me, ask me if my hair is damp, because the odds are pretty good that it is.
