The smallest of triumphs

It's been another tough week folks, and maybe it's just going to continue at this pace until I get done, and perhaps because that end is in sight, it's all the more maddening.

My small triumph is that I finally figured out how to keep the hair on the left side of my head from flipping outwards instead of in. The right side knows what to do: it smoothly curves inward and towards the jaw. But the left side flips out, making my hairstyle look sometimes cutely windswept, but mostly just unruly.

So there you go, a small triumph. A grain of sand dropped on the plus side of the scale. With my growing impatience, I try to remind myself that progress is progress!
