<p>I had no idea how much grooming I have to do to get ready for work, until I started getting ready at around 5.00pm Sunday evening.</p>
<p>Because my hair is very temperamental, I started with that. All my hair wants is a wash, blow dry and an hour or so with the flat iron to get it it under control. Two hours of my life &#8211; twice a week!</p>
<p>I had to put half a can of hairspray on it this morning as this misty weather ain&#8217;t good for a black girl&#8217;s hair.</p>
<p>Then followed a good few minutes with the tweezers and unruly eyebrows.  It wasn&#8217;t<em> that</em> unruly luckily, but they needed some extra cleaning up.</p>
<p>Another few minutes removing old nail polish, moisturising feet and reapplying nail polish to finger and toe nails. </p>
<p> Regardless of this horrible weather today, I&#8217;m wearing open toed shoes.  Damn this Cape Town weather.</p>
<p>Not to mention the usual workout and nightly cleansing and moisturising.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s only Sunday evening.  Each morning requires another 2 hours of work outs and preparing to leave home.</p>
<p>No wonder I&#8217;m so tired this morning!</p>
<p>Leave is more for recovering from getting ready for work, rather than work itself, it seems.</p>
<p>Just another 9 weeks to ago to 4 more weeks of recovery time!  Can&#8217;t wait!</p>
