- I was so so excited to get 3 hours early dismissal Monday… then I ended up working most of it. Womp womp. Oh well. The thought was nice!
- We had such a nice Independence Day though! We did the 5K, organized Steven’s closet (I love organizing), grilled, put a plant cover over the garden, chilled (watched Black Mirror) and painted, and hung out.
- We had this random tiny storm go over our town on the 4th and it dumped 1.12″ of rain on us!
- One of the earbuds got really quiet on my Plantronics headphones so I ordered a new pair to replace them, and the new set has a horribly annoying constant static noise. I went to return them and read the reviews and other people were saying the same thing (I didn’t think I needed to read the reviews to order a new pair… always read the reviews, Kim). When I was telling Steven about all this, I remembered I have a pair of Aftershokz I got as part of a Ali on the Run Show VIP package in December of 2020 that I’ve never used! I figured the bone conduction thing would be weird and not actually work, but I charged them, and lo and behold, they work great! I’m so glad I remembered I had them to try!
- I got my hair cut a week ago and it’s too short now. I just want to grow my damn hair out. Wah. I told my stylist this and they still cut off an inch. I’ve been taking better care of it (despite how horrible it looks below) and don’t feel like I needed that much off. UGH. I made my next appointment for longer out (this one was 8 weeks apart) to see if I can grow it more. And beg them to please not cut it to the length below.
- My INR was in range on Monday! Boo yah! It was 2.6. They still wanted to see me again in two weeks wompity womp. At least it’s headed in the right direction.
- Last week I woke up in the middle of the night with a charley horse and it really freaked me out for a second – I thought it was a blood clot because that’s what they felt like when I had them in August (only, it was a constant pain then). I stood up and the pain went away, phew.
- I had/have so many appointments this week – INR Monday, therapy yesterday, massage and mani/pedi today, and I am teaching painting in the city tomorrow. And I met Bobbi to walk Monday morning and we had the 5K Tuesday. That’s a busy week for me!

The curse of the too short haircut! I usually go to the cheap places but last fall I decided to treat myself to a nice haircut at a proper salon. I specifically told the stylist not to go shorter than ponytail length. It only took 6 months to grow out to the point where I didn’t need to wear a headband while working out, whomp whomp. And now I’m at about 9 months since my last cut so I should probably do something about that.
Did they actually listen? When you said ponytail length? I could NOT handle not being able to pull back into a pony. I rarely wear it down!
Eh, only if it looks damaged 😉
One of my earbuds has stopped working and they’re not even a year old. They were quite expensive and I’m super bummed. That’s a boring story no one cares about, but I felt I needed to share it with someone!
We still haven’t had more than sprinkles for like five minutes and everything feels like it’s going to go up in flames at any moment. Send rain to Wisconsin, weather!
OMG that sucks! Not boring. Only a year old?! I would be so mad 🙁 What are you going to do?
I hope you get some soon! We got rain again yesterday – .48 inches. It’s been so odd to finally have storms after not forever!
Are you getting early dismissal on the day before the holiday only? We used to but they switched it to dismissal being used any time during the holiday week. We got 2 hours off last for 4th of July.
Yeah, it was Monday only, that is cool you could move yours around!
Ugh, I hate a too-short haircut! I’m grateful that my stylists have usually been very careful about how much hair they cut off and haven’t had to deal with that in a while. I’m in the process of growing my hair out and it has been taking FOREVER. It’s finally past my shoulders and I’m just ready for it to be long again!
I am glad yours don’t do it!!!! How much longer do you want it to be?
Oof, you had a WEEK. So glad you had a good Fourth, though. Sometimes one really good day can offset some less-spectacular ones. (Like working when you’re technically off for a holiday… booo… )
Right! I have had a lot of that lately, so I guess I am getting more used to it, but don’t want to.
