Hair Of The Dog

I just 'hair of the dogged' my half-marathon hangover by going for a 3 mile run.

Hair of the dog is a colloquial expression that means curing a hangover by drinking alcohol.
Simply put, it refers to curing something by adding more of it in a "like cures like" manner.
This is somehow consistent, in my mind, with my new practice of "leaning into the sharp points" instead of denying the sharp points exist.

I ran today, either to get over my half-marathon hangover, or to aid me as I mentally prepare for the task of cleaning my home for house guests.
I really need to get rid of all the dog hair in my house before Kika's confirmation weekend.
