Technical problems: Solved. Melo had to do it himself, but we’re up and running “normally” (insofar as “normal” applies to us). Our stats are back, minus 5 whole days of hits; later we’ll work on the feed. Thank you for your patience.

Hair problem: Solved. It was about four inches overdue for a trim, and the wet weather makes it expand and choke all shower drains within a 10 kilometer radius. And knowing that we need a haircut triggers our trichotillomania. We start plucking random strands from our head, which makes us worry that we have bald spots, which is just ridiculous because we could donate hair to Cousin It from the Addams Family, which triggers a host of other neuroses. Finally we got tired of overthinking about overthinking, so we told Chus we were in desperate need of a haircut and that’s what we got this morning.
