Couple of Gentle Things
Apr. 15th, 2025 07:34 amYesterday Joye texted me a cute thing about 'remember, you are one of the things to take care of this week' and it was one of those deals where I nearly shed a single tear.
However! Yesterday I took the day off. I had a quasi-work related thing in the morning - and honestly I didn't want to argue about it or figure out if it was truly work related - and then glasses appt, and then haircut.
My glasses now got a little squished and the antiglare coating makes them extra prone to blurrring. However the ones I ordered have a different antiglare, and they're more of a nerdchic black plastic (but with white spots, like a clouded leopard inverted).
My goal for my glasses and hair were:
- look neither older than I am nor younger
- aim for slightly artsty but not too much
I think this was achieved.
Hair: I like my new person, this was my second go-round with her. I asked for bangs and she did some real talk with me - not exactly talking me out of it, but the "okay how often do you want to wash it, get it cut, style it,..." kinds of questions that make me realize hm, maybe not the right path.
However we did some of the angled around the face and a ton of choppy layers. Although the last layer down is shoulder length, we ended up getting rid of like, a whole wig's worth of bulk.
Also, I went to an art museum (that is mostly HAPPY!? and not terrifying or sad?! this is my second time visiting this particular place and both times we found whimsy and delight and 'whoa, that's interesting.' ) with Anka and we looked at 2 houses that are kind of nestled in my soul. One is a cottage on a river and it used to be a mill. It's so charming. The other is 2 houses, and the back house is where she'd live and she'd rent the front. It's on a quiet main road (hey, it's rural vt) with a ravine in the back.
She's anxious about her offers getting accepted but the riverfront property was in my dream last night.
I visited a closeout Joann store and got some moss for cheap to add to the fairy diorama thingy.
Also this morning when dropping off Ty at his internship (it's so weird, I go to work, then leave work & take him from school to his internship, then go back to work) I swung by a gourmet grocer and got a baguette and lunch and a cookie.
I have Le Spine Pain and it's been pretty bad for a bit (like, living on advil for a week) and I'm trying to manage it on my own and not succeeding, so I'm going to stop by walk-in care and see if they can refer me to PT or something.
I saw Minecraft movie with Meg and she thought it was dumb, and maybe it was - it was like a bedtime story improvised on the fly? - but it was also funny and cute. If you enjoy Jack Black's whole thing, then it works. Jason Momoa was very entertaining.
