I had hair yesterday...it's gone today...

Something I REALLY, REALLY don't like...my haircut I got yesterday. My hair was about 2 inches below my ears. There were long ringlets and little ringlets. There was volume. I liked to make it big.

And now it is about as long as the middle of my ears. The long ringlets are all gone...and the short ringlets are all gone. I can't make it big, because there isn't enough of it. When I try to style it curly, it curls up and up so that I have weird wispy curls all around the crown of my head, like a thirties flapper with a really bad hair-do.

I DON'T WANT TO BE A THIRTIES STYLE FLAPPER WITH A REALLY BAD HAIR-DO!!!!!!!

So now I am back to drying it straight, and that will have to do while I grow it back for the next three months. But that curly hair was making me feel good, and now my confidence, happiness, and peace of mind have taken a bad blow.

Wow, hair is powerful. My power is gone...I blame Delilah at the hair salon (Not her real name, but I am not going to out her online. But I am going to call the salon and complain. Already got the manager's name.) Damn you Delilah!

It's been a long time! How are you?

So, the healing process...it's a killer. Times when you think you are all alone, times when you feel great and like you're all better, times when you couldn't be lower. And really, if you're lucky like me, you're not alone, because you have awesome friends that love you and care about you. And the great times and the crappy times both come and go, and slowly, hopefully, the crappy times get fewer and the great times get more frequent.

It's a cycle. I am in the crappy part again.

BUT, I am skinnier, and my hair is longer and curlier, and I have a new tattoo. I love my third graders and I am doing a lot of cleaning and purging in my flat. My cats are very happy, because that guy that didn't like them isn't around anymore, and I am available more often to give them warm places to sit. So there are some good parts.



I am posting pictures of my trip to the Alameda Antiques Fair. Nothing related to beauty products happened, except I should have worn more sunscreen and I had to obsessively keep my scarf on my neck because the tattoo was less than a day old. But it was fun and part of the healing process. Yea.

That's all for now...I hope you're doing well!
