Work less than good. Rest of life improving.

I've been grumpy about work lately, and early this week (late last week? sometime) I made a freaking brilliant observation: if I can't solve THAT problem, maybe I can solve OTHER THINGS in the meantime.

So last weekend I made jelly and I made brownies; I called a friend I hadn't seen in months; I made progress on organizing my photos from the recent trip; I did some badly-needed pruning in the flowerboxes outside my house; I called the doctor and got started on the Injections of Death; I did a couple of errands and cleaned up the living room significantly; I set up my pretty Northern Lights picture in the office.

I'm still considering getting my hair cut short (maybe I'm ready to, maybe not) and mulling over whether to drop my car off for repairs or search for a new(er) one. In another week or two I might be able to start running again. Maybe I could hike even sooner than that.

Solve what I can. It's a useful idea.

I could write a post about the management of hair this long, but my current front-running reason is that I'd like to dye it forest green and I don't want to wait six years for it to clean itself up. The rest would be side benefits.

I think I'll write that post anyway. It needs to go to a NaNoWriMo forum. I don't know what it is about authors and long hair and ignoring the laws of physics.

Yeah, I can imagine. Toni's hair has been, and Al's currently is, well down her back.

I think forest green would suit your skin tone. :-)

Thank you! :) I can hope.
