I went from showering once a day at most to, in the past couple weeks since I cut my hair down to the near buzz, two or even three showers.
Before, I could alternate 2 towels and be good with that even though the towels soaked up a lot of water from drying my hair. They'd be good for at least 10 days.
Now, no matter what happens, I can't find a towel hanging anywhere that fits in my bathroom that isn't unpleasantly damp by the second day.
However, I don't have any clue how to find other towels. I don't like the ones at Target. I'm still boycotting Macy's. It's understood that anyone who can shop elsewhere should not shop at Walmart. So I looked at LandsEnd and LLBean. Their towels are very plush. And it occurred to me that I wasn't likely the only person who'd had this problem because it's always humid in Hawaii. So maybe they buy their towels somewhere else.
I like that the fancy supima plush towels are soft. They don't need fabric softener to be the kinds of things you can rub across your face without giving yourself towel burn.
I haven't placed the order. I'm trying to tell myself that it's okay to want something to assuage my anger (at Simon's mother for taking my hand towels and cutting them up) and make myself happy and then to actually get it. But I don't think Simon will take the yucky pinkish-red towels for himself. Although I wish he would since his other towels are ratty and holey in places. (He likes those better than the nicer ones... probably because they get all the way dry, he might be smarter than me.)
I tried using a percale twin bed sheet (no idea why I still have one of those since I haven't had a twin bed in more than 20 years) but it just smears the water around on my skin instead of drying me. Not very absorbent. I might try a flannel sheet next. The size is pretty awkward, but the physical handling issues wouldn't interfere with determining whether the material was a good choice for towelling.

Or maybe I should just order the purple towels.
