Being in the slow lane of life with my windows rolled up and no streetlights to see anything outside

[seryn]

Let's see where things are.

Therapy continues. Simon's still sick. I went to a knitting group on Thursday. Cooked food still hovers at "ooh. I can microwave this *puts in cart*". It makes me wonder why refrigerator/freezer appliances are so much more refrigerator. Seems like with a microwave, I could do best by just having a freezer, although I'd have to eat the whole jar of pickles at one sitting then.

I've taken up drawing on very tiny pieces of papers. sticky notes, index cards, receipts. Not that these are good drawings, mind, but it's something I'm doing.

I now have less hair than many people with crew cuts. I've taken to shaving the sides and bleaching them. On the plus side, my scalp doesn't have those dry-skin compensating sebum granules that itch and kind of resemble dandruff (but which dandruff shampoo actually worsens).

I read two books this week, both by D. D. Barrant. I enjoy that series a lot.

I'm caught up with my laundry.

New pic of hair?

I just walked two miles home from second Halloween party of the night bc it was packed, I only knew a couple people, and I was done.

I'm glad that you're reading. And drawing. And caught up with laundry. I'm only doing one of those three!

I sent you an email with the picture... it actually looks somewhat better than that, but I have an old phone with only the back facing camera, by the time I get a focused shot of my own head, well, I look kind of zombie-like.

I'm really _trying_ to participate in the life I have.

I like the spikiness--although it looks nice and fuzzy too.

I am getting mine all cut off soon. I've got two leads on good hair stylists in town.

I almost didn't go out at all tonight, so I count it a victory that I went and lasted four hours. But I must do laundry soon or I will drown in it.
