The other day after I titled a post with the Doors lyric “Break On Through,” I thought I took that a little too literally and broke my little toe. It looked dislocated at first, then it didn’t, so I sort of coasted through the night with some Advil and sleep.
But it REALLY hurt on Sunday and the bruising was bad. I know I’ve said on here before that I have diabetes, so it’s not news, but one thing I’m super careful about, as all people with diabetes should be, is my feet. So off we went to the ER because shit always happens on a weekend, especially a long weekend.
They didn’t see any fractures on the X-ray, so I’m going to assume all is good and the bruising will fade in time. The pain comes and goes, but it’s so much better than it was.
I haven’t gotten much writing done because my focus is for shit, so I continued to work on a couple of sewing projects. I’ll probably share those at some point, but since today’s Tiny Tuesday, I really want to talk about this product I got in the mail today.
First, a word about some of my older dolls. Male and female. Through the years, they can develop hair issues. Like this.
(Full disclosure: I did a temporary fix on him for a previous photo shoot, but when I pulled him out of the bin today, he looked like this.)
And there’s this guy.
I tried some of my hair products, and even some of Timothy’s hair products, but nothing was working for these poor guys. I did some online research and found a doll collector who swears by Volks Water Wax to tame unruly doll hair. Thus I whipped out the credit card.
It comes in the tiniest tub! She also suggested using a flea comb and a toothbrush on doll hair, only I forgot that “flea” part and bought a lice comb, lol.
I photographed the Water Wax with the toothbrush so you can see how small it is. But she says it lasts forever because it takes so little for a good hair fix.
Improvement?
My girl dolls are all, “Hubba, hubba!”
It even returns luster to their hair! This dude looks like Andy Williams.
I know some old Midge dolls who’ll be very happy the next time I feel like playing hairdresser.
Great news! These dudes are also lice-free.
