In March, I painted the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom. Roller painting an overhead means that you're showered with a fine mist of paint. Afterwards, my head was a dingy grey color. I combed out the paint and washed my hair, but I kept finding individual strands with white sections. 2" brown, 1" white, 3" brown, that sort of thing. As time went on, these stealth dalmation hairs decreased in number.

Yesterday, I saw another single line of white in my hair. More paint, think I. Thought I got it all, think I.

Not paint.

I blame dissertation stress.
