Which is another thing I picked up, after we moved here and I had no choice but to use a mask. I actually now wish I'd encountered Sleep buns 30 years ago; for managing hair, styling, etc. they're a godsend.
So, so much for nighttime sleep rituals with Hitch, LOL.

I had never heard of sleep buns. I might try it some time. I've taken to loosely braiding my hair at night to keep it out of the way. My last haircut was almost two years ago. I had one planned when the pandemic hit. Now that I'm fully vaccinated I'm looking forward to getting it cut in autumn (I get a sweaty head easily and like to be able to put my up when it's warm/hot)

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have to take some time to see what's available over here, but I now have more of an idea what I need to look out for.
Current rant: I got my second Moderna vaccine on Wednesday. And now a big area of my arm is red, warm and at times itchy or prickling. My eczema cream works for the redness and bruised feeling. But I have yet to find something that works for more than an hour or so against the itchiness/prickling sensation. I just put on some zinc cream (sold for diaper rashes, but occasionally works for eczema, too), hopefully it'll work.
