Early start to the day. Took care of the shaggy mop that was passing for hair. Finally got in to my stylist for her to clean it up.

Back home for a quick breakfast and some coffee. Raspberries and feta - yum!

Looking a bit overcast. Still a cool 53 right now. That's 11.6 for our friends using Celsius. And the computer now says rain is coming - that's exactly how the skies looked on the drive home.

Indoor chores now. More errands after the rain. May or may not get a nap in today.

Well, time to take the coffee with me and get started. Sooner I get these done, the sooner I can maybe sneak in a nap.

Have a good day, everyone

I need to get my hair cut so bad! It's at that awkward length below my ears but above my shoulders. I hate having hair that sits on my neck.

I did get some new product during Amazon's Prime Days last week. I tried it last night after I washed my hair and they are AMAZING! My curls are so defined now!

You ladies will understand the need to try multiple hair products. The guys are likely saying, "Why can't you wash your hair with the soap like I do?"

At least you Have hair... I have a reverse mohawk...all around the sides & bald down the middle.

My husband started balding at an early age. He was like you when I met him. I convinced him to shave his head and grow a goatee. He wasn't that enthusiastic about doing so until I said I thought he would look look sexy.

 

[Lilianna23]

For now, RJ, for now.
I will say it's one thing to decide for yourself to chop some off, but a whole different set of feels when it leaves all on its own.

My hair was so thick as a teen that every stylist offered to thin it out a bit (I declined). Had to use a hair pick as brushes and combs couldn't get the job done.

Large ponytail scrunchies used to go around just twice but at the risk of breaking the elastic on the inside.

In my 40s when I cut and donated 3 1/2 feet of hair to charity, that same hair scrunchie went around almost 5 times.

And since I've tipped to "more gray than chocolate", you can see my scalp. (Which means hats for sun protection).

So yes, I do have hair... but only @ 35-40% of what I used to have, so I'm not counting on it sticking around forever.

Have you tried Nioxin or Minoxidil? My stylist had me start a Nioxin regimen when I started losing hair after a serious illness. It really helped; my hair grew back. I have baby fine curly hair but I also have a lot of it.

If you decide to try Minoxidil, buy the men's version. It's the same as the one marketed to women but less expensive. No pink tax!

Just had lunch with Wonderer and his delightful other half.


And you didn’t.


Envy me, bitches!

Lucky you!
Lucky Wonderer!
Lucky Wonderer other half!

I hope you all had a great time with good food! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

I was just thinking how bored I am..... wish i was there with you all.....
Signed,
Totally envious bitch

Hahaha

Are you feeling any better?

 

[Lilianna23]

Bro - it was great meeting you. Had a great time. Great weather, great friends, great location.

I do think we should plan a an over 50s board meetup. We can meet somewhere in Iowa!

Altho greylag would bring us more slightly east. hmmmm

Rager at @Missk_2022 or @Rj_1954 s place!!!!

I think OM's place might be available...

 

[Lilianna23]

It’s raining heavy and some thunder. We need them rain. Watching some football. Pretty soon will get sleepy so I say goodnight until tomorrow.

Get good sleep, B2! I'm sleepy tonight, too, so probably won't be still up when you get up. ️

 

[Lilianna23]

You and my dad
I don't mind it. Suits me.
But I do still miss my loooooong hair some days.

I understand that. My hair was nearly waist long when I retired. I had it cut a month later after I broke my arm. My husband had to help me shampoo and comb my hair. It was traumatic for both of us. I also surrendered to the grey at the same time. Now, I love my short, curly, grey hair!

 

[Lilianna23]

Bald of a good look, imo.

Still no power. My family just got theirs back. Looks like I'll be at their house tomorrow night. Threw all my fridge food out today. Doing good other than the heat

I'm so sorry about the loss of power resulting in the loss of food, Impy. But so glad you're safe!

 

[Lilianna23]

Made a deal for an old car. It looks pretty good in person, too.


I'll go back in 2 weeks to collect it.

Excellent!

When do we get a ride?

 

[Lilianna23]

Well, that nap wore off pretty quick
Sweet dreams everyone... I'm off to bed

Sleep well, L2!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's 0115 now and I've caught up! I'm pretty sleepy tonight so I'm going to bed now. I stayed up way to late last night finishing my book.

A friend and I are going to a Water Lantern Festival tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it! Happy Sunday, everyone!

Errr Yes, I am!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Heading out of Florida today. Sorry Impy about the food loss. My mother lost a lot of food out of her freezer one year but joked it needed to be cleaned out anyway! Hopefully you get full power back soon. Back to normal ops for today. Some good college football games last night!

Everyone have a great Sunday! The MZ..

Works every time

 

[Wonderer67]

Got almost every chore done on my list.
There's always more, but the stuff I really wanted to get done is done. Phew!

Leaves a few light things for tomorrow or just a lazy day of reading and coffee (decaf). Hmmm, decisions, decisions

Sounds like a really productive day. And now you can read and nap and have decaf tomorrow!!

As John Lennon said, “wasting time is not wasted time.”

Oh man. Ice is probably impossible to come by too to keep food spoilage at bay.

Fingers crossed that your back on the grid soon. I saw there’s still a million wo power.

My fingers are crossed… toes too (ouch!)

Which is older, you or the car?

Reminds me of that peanuts character.

“everyone’s jealous of my naturally curly hair… “

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning HDH. You are a good person helping those in FL affected by the hurricane.

Good morning Wonderer and Impy. So sorry to read that you still have no power Impy.

Life has been good. The rain is steady for our drought. Today is an easy going day.

I love curly hair.

 

[Wonderer67]

Have you tried Nioxin or Minoxidil? My stylist had me start a Nioxin regimen when I started losing hair after a serious illness. It really helped; my hair grew back. I have baby fine curly hair but I also have a lot of it.

If you try to spell my last name (at least back in the day) the spell check would suggest (or sometimes just change it) to rogaine.

Which was one of those kinds of products. It was especially fitting since I had the monk look at the time.

 

[Wonderer67]

I think OM's place might be available...

OM upon Coming home…

The traffic cones are so you can navigate to the bathroom.

We left your fainting couch outside on the curb.

 

[Wonderer67]

If you need help moving it back in, let us know.
