So I had run out of conditioner and I have committed to using vinegar as a replacement. When DH and I went to the grocery store on Saturday morning, I was looking for a spray bottle to put the vinegar in for easier application, but the store did not have a spray bottle. How is that possible you ask? I have no idea. This store is one of the largest stores in Germany and it is an all purpose store, not just a grocery store, but there was no spray bottle to be found.
On Sunday we had a pajama day and I did not even bother showering, so it was no big deal. When I showered on Monday, I used nothing on my hair for conditioner. I did not want to just dump the bottle on my head and waste a bunch of vinegar. Tonight however, when I took my shower, I knew I needed to use something. So I decided I would just try the dumping method until I can get to the store tomorrow and get a spray bottle.
I learned two things in this process, and I was reminded of one thing. First of all, whatever you do, DO NOT GET VINEGAR IN YOUR EYES. It really stings! This is one of the reasons that the pour method is not a good one. The thing I was reminded about is how bad vinegar tastes. Only a few small drops had run down my face, but I managed to permanently damage my eyes (Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration), and the taste on my lips would not go away for the rest of my shower!
With that being said, the second thing I learned was that vinegar really works! My hair was definitely easier to brush through than on Monday when I used nothing at all! I am so excited about this!
Overall, I would say that I had success. I mean, as long as you learn something, it can't be a complete failure, right? Now I just need to get a spray bottle to avoid further eye casualties.
On a completely different note, DH has received two emails regarding setting up a second interview for a job back in the good ol' USA! I am feeling so happy about this. I want to get home to our family, friends, and a normal life (or at least normal for us). I am saying prayers that this pans out for us and we can move soon. I really need to get out of here!
I was also semi-productive around the apartment today and the animals and I enjoyed some time together. Overall, I would have to say that I had a good day. :-)

Sorry, I'm cracking up at the dumping method...sounds like something I would do! Kind of like last week when I was trying to clean a paint brush filled with oil based paint...with water. I made a HUGE mess. WOOHOO on the job interviews! Hoping you get good news soon!
