On the plus side lice like clean hair, so you've got that going for you. In all seriousness, please be careful in your car. It would suck to have it infested.

Bahaha.
I've gotten kids in my unit who have lice, usually the family is quite poor and lives fairly remotely and has inadequate housing and everyone's cramped. Every time we have kids with lice, without fail, everyone's heads start itching. Totally psychosomatic, you hear someone near you has lice and your scalp itches.
There's dubious home remedies for lice, you mightve heard about using mayo or Vaseline to suffocate the lice. It doesn't work that well, the nits survive and then go back to munching. Sometimes box hair bleach kills them, the strong bleaching ones, but some nits can survive it and you'll get back to a head full of lice soon enough. There's shampoo you can get from a doctor/pharmacy that will kill them, do a few washes as prescribed and they die.
You can pick nits with a very fine tooth comb if you'd prefer. Just keep an eye out on your itchiness and see if you can get someone to do your hair and you'll do theirs.
otherwise how's the car?
It’s awesome. I’m trying to get rid of my friends for a couple hours (dropping them off at the shelter) so I can tidy up, but they’re sleeping lol.
I was a massive bitch yesterday because I was dopesick, and one of the symptoms of that is absolutely nuclear irritability. Somehow though I kept my cool.
That is most unfortunate, I'm sorry that's happening. How're you feeling besides for that?
Sad, irritable, and bitter because of mild opioid withdrawal.
Yeah, opiate withdrawal is a rough one, even if it's minor. I was only snorting for like 3-4 months and did fairly low doses, the withdrawal still sucked.
