Jumped the Hump

Well all, i've decided I'm only going to blog probably 3 times a week, twice during the week and once on Sunday for the weekend. So my days will probably be Wed, Friday and Sunday or Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We'll see. I had a episode with my eyes yesterday that scarred the mess out of me. Everything was spotty and blotchy that I looked at, and it didn't happen until about 3:30 in the afternoon. I'm near sighted and work on a computer all day long with my contacts on. Now, I don't need vision help up close, so I'm wondering if i'm look at a computer screen to much. As I get older, I think of all kinds of things I probably need to stop doing, and getting on the computer for hours when I get home, after being in front of one all day is likely a good idea.

I have also decided i'm going to go ahead and cut my hair. Every time I put it up in a ponytail and feel how thin it is, I get pretty darn upset with myself for even putting braids in my hair...but they were very very convenient. I do wish the take down didn't do such damage to a persons hair. I've been told their are people who take down braids "professionally" but i'm sure the cost is the same or close to the same as putting them up. To think about what I go through with my hair sometimes makes me want to change professions. If there are more people in the world like me, and can afford it, hairstylist make a killing.

I rescheduled my spa appointment for next Thursday and am heading to MI on Friday. My boy and his cousin are driving my car and i'm just riding, well that's the plan anyway. This will be a short trip home, but I am surely looking forward to it.

There is a lot going on around the office, one of them being i'm moving office spaces, yes AGAIN. I went from a double-wide to a small and now to a decent sized cubie. But as I always say, as long as my paycheck doesn't change, they can sit me where they like.

Ready....Set

It seems like days just fly by when Monday is over. Today was a pretty good day. I got 30 scored calls at work so I can't complain about my numbers. One thing I did do I was pretty upset about today is forget my dermatology appointment this morning. I realized it at about 11:30am and called to reschedule. Luckily, they had something available next week same time but a Tuesday. May day was indeed overall good, I even left class at half time (the break). My professor handed out the study guides and my paper is due next week so I could afford to miss the second half.

My girlfriend had a crisis with her daughter, but by the time I got home, they had talked it out and thins were better. She still stopped by and chatted me up about it which was cool. We are each others ears and voice of reason...not to mention we are each others irrational thoughts too. She got her sweet potato pie and rolled out after our chat session.

I finished the laundry on my bed, found my memory stick, had a very small bit to eat and am not tying up my thinned out broke off hair and going to sleep. Tomorrow I shall call my hairstylist and see if she is cutting hair from her home. Tomorrow they guy who owns the shop she works for is closing his business down. She hasn't decided what she is going to do yet, meanwhile, my head is a mess and it must get cut in layers. The good thing about hair is it grows back.

Saturday was braid removal day and boy was it a doozy. It started off okay, I ran to the dry cleaners, check on a spot to put the braids back in on Sunday morning and then, stopped by the grocery store. When I got back home, I looked at my car in disgust as I saw the paint job shaded with dirt and dust. I decided righ then, when I came back downstairs to put my laundry in the washer, i'd run and wash my car. I did just that, then came home to put my final load in and finish taking down my hair ( a task which I started at work on Thursday). I also took some time to bake a sweet potato pie with some frozen batter I had. Let me just say it took me forever to get them thing out of my head, I started at 4:30ish and was done taking them down by 2:30ish, and that's not including wash/dry time. Therein lies the nightmare...... I had forgotten how tangled your hair gets when you take it down from braids. I hadn't had braids since Jr. High School. So many times after I washed my hair I wanted to cut a chunk here and there. I kept thinking to myself it's just hair and it' grow back but 1.5 hour later, I had it all untangled and 1 hour after that dried and manageable. Those braids were absolutely bad on my hair though. I have been told today there is a shampoo for de-tangling after braid removal. Well hellllllloooooooo, information you should've given last week when I said I was taking them down. Well from that experience I said Eff braids, at least for now, I will now need to get my hair cut.

Today was cool. Caught up with my girl and did some grocery shopping. Came home cooked and watched a movie with my home boy. Now my friends, i'm hitting the hay.
