Tonsorial Damage

I was preparing to go out on a dreary Sunday afternoon, when something profound happened.

My hairbrush, the one I had been using for quite some years, decided to snap. Apparently, I had dropped it some time ago, and it only just got around to being weak enough to break. It did so as I was pressing it onto my head. It took no hair, but now I have two brushes of half-size, both with jagged edges and only one with a handle. As such, I am disinclined to use it, and may have to get another.

"Where's the profundity," you ask. "What makes this event so special? Things break all the time."

Granted all that, but think about it: the things you use during the course of a day have effects on you. Change those things, and the . A different-sized coffee mug might affect how much caffeine you take in during a day. A new wallet may let you carry more or less money and credit cards in your pocket. Shoes can change the way you walk, causing or curing long-term back problems. And a different hairbrush may change the way you prep and primp your appearance in the morning or evening before going out.

I don't see it having that great an impact on me; it's not like I'm such a fashion-plate or clothes-horse that I really care how I look. But a different brush may give way to a change in hairstyle, shampoo, maybe some self-attitude changes...

Or maybe I can find a reasonable facsimile of that brush elsewhere. Because change can be scary.

Wish me luck.
