Hair whoops and stuff
Jul. 9th, 2020 05:57 pmI took Wed-Friday off this week. Yesterday, I did pretty much nothing, except realize that one of the cats had anxiety on the 4th and peed somewhere. Turns out it takes about four days for the smell to become noticeable to me, and I have a good nose. Found it, in W's room and thankfully on a towel, so easily remedied. W and I also walked a couple of miles to a feed and farm supply store. Ogled the baby chickies and a couple of the young, hottie-patottie employees who stopped to have a hello with W. Who did not bite them, btw! Hooray. People who he doesn't go after always look at me like I'm nuts when I warn them. As long as he approaches them, it's okay. It's the leaners that he does not like.
Then I decided that my hair wasn't short enough so I went at it with the shears again. SOMEhow I ended up with an a-line lob. I genuinely have no idea how I did it, and hopefully it looks okay because right at shoulder level is about as short as I can get when cutting it myself. I'm not mad at it. We'll see if anyone who knows me notices. For reference, before I started hacking a month ago, the hair was mid to lower back length. I'm really too old for that, but alas, I am also really too cheap to pay $40 for a haircut.
Today I went shopping for vegetables, then attempted to rake the lawn of moss but yesterday during the somewhat frantic search for pee stains I mucked up my back and you know what? The raking motion is murder on a strained lower back. Pulled weeds instead, which is also murder but I ain't got nobody - nobody... ;)
Walter decided today's walk would be around the block, then around the block, then around the block, then... you get it. LOL, we literally just looped around multiple times. When we were done he looked at me, all, "What, is that it?" like I hadn't just given in and let him go wherever he wanted and it was HIM who chose the route.
Decided I wanted a grilled cheese for dinner. Didn't buy bread at the store, didn't have any on hand and it was too late to make a loaf - at least to eat tonight. So, baking a loaf right now. It's white whole wheat and seems dense, but dense is what I usually get if I'm going to be honest. I tend to over-knead, I think. It's still going to taste ah-mazing.
Stopped in at a new little bakery. Spent a ridiculous sum for two shortbread cookies and a cupcake, as one does at a boutique bakery. I like to support local at least once, but the proprietor is the type to garnish baked goods with edible flowers and that's something I just really don't get. I'm a simple gal. I may take a guest there, but probably won't be a regular.
Hope everyone (the 1.5 of you out there) are doing well.
TTFN.
