Bookcase and my books. From the "Pictures My Life" collection........
My hair is wild today....I haven't attempted the "little back of the head" knot as yet. I am considering a haircut. But..not very seriously. I can't see how a haircut is going to be an improvement.
I haven't had breakfast so my morning blood sugar is way down......getting old is really not much fun. Well, this Old Woman isn't having much fun at all. Sigh. I am struggling to find my "happy place" in this new edition of my Life. These last few chapters of my Life...being optimistic. Maybe only one chapter left.
Digging the weedy plants out of the front bed IS really difficult. They are deeply rooted and have invaded the territory and won't give up easily. (like Russians) I used the the large loppers to cut the branches (off a small section) and left the roots in the ground.....I have a sharp edged shovel but don't see progress with that........ at 30 days shy of 78. My chances of success here are in the negative numbers.
My Lunch Buddy is secluded in the second bedroom with COVID. (NO LUNCH DATE) She and daughter and grandson took planes to visit colleges. She says this particular COVID is much worse than ALL the others...ALL. Her 80 something husband got COVID visiting the local post office a few months ago. Shared. Everyone got sick. Her grandson has had COVID several time this year (did not share)..... perplexing and they get the Paxlovid from their doctor each and every time. They had the Annual Vacation by the Lake reserved. Everyone is sad. Including ME.
I have zero things reserved or planned....A book...a seat on the couch.....now that Olympic Field and Track and Soccer is over..I haven't much to look forward to. I was leaning toward Law and Order but....No..just No.. CSI/NY is on in the four digit channels... it was good the first time but repeats are tedious. Hallmark is also tedious. Not watching News.....that leaves Lifetime and the Shopping Channels. Kill me now.
Oh dear !! Maybe a haircut would help . Never underestimate the power of a good haircut . Someone told me once there is nothing worse than long gray ( white) hair . Advice which I took to heart .
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion .... I know how much it helps my mental health .
Nothing WORSE than LONG White or Gray Hair....OMG. I think that is a valid statement.
DeleteHi! I'm letting my gray hair grow long and I like it! It's well past my shoulders so I can put it up in a pony tail. Personally, I think you should consider this part of your journey as time to do what you want to do...no one else to consider when you decide what to do but yourself. So day dream a little. What would you like to do? Then go for it regardless of what anyone else thinks. When I get back east...still looking for a house...I want to work on becoming a master gardener as well as teaching crafting skills like quilting and weaving...and having a great garden like we had this year but weren't able to really enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYears ago I was addicted to the shopping channels. I used to record shows when I had to go to work and watch them when I got home - oy ... LOL
ReplyDeleteMy hair is just below shoulder length and is two tone since I stopped coloring it. Have been cutting my own hair since COVID ... now I'll leave it to your imagination to guess what I look like - LOL
ReplyDeleteI WILL have to put you out of your misery if you start watching the shopping channel. I found a couple of new lifetime? or mystery movies on Youtube the other day that I had not seen yet. Because, believe me, I have seen them ALL. BUT presently watching Hitler history documentaries, like I am not getting enough trump lately. HA HA HA xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHow about long grey hair that is falling out
My hair is also falling gout I think it's the elastic band holding the pony tail... whisps keep escaping....until I look insane.
