I can't google her because I never got her last name. I meant to get it because I knew she wouldn't be able to contact me if she quit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

even if you can't find her, don't go back to the salon. I hate that way of dealing with things.

You not having to work is a good plan-- but I am guessing witting will be more like 50 to 75% of you time - 'cause you will have most of the domestic duties. You'd need to establish office hours as quickly as possible.

A lot of intangibles matter a lot,but there are ways to compensate for a lot of them.

beth, I'm not, but I hate having to look for a new place too. Especially with my birthday coming next month. I don't want bad hair for my birthday. t /shallow

The status is NOT quo.

I love the West so much. I really belong out here.
I know exactly what you mean. I felt the West calling me every time I visited and am so glad to finally live out here. I wish we could afford to live closer to the coast, though. Someday.

I hate when businesses use that "you're not allowed to take your clients" thing. That happened with my acupuncturist in CT, and I had to do a little investigation to finally find her. Needless to say, I never went back to the original office. Jerks.

Nora, I'm so sorry your stomach is hurting. Do you have a gastroenterologist? You may want to ask your regular doctor for a referral.

Nora, I hope your doctor figures out what's wrong and helps you.

Two places have "called" me when I visited them: Islamorada (Florida Keys) and Plymouth, MA. I just loved them both a whole whole lot.

I felt called by the Florida Keys, too. Basically anywhere with warm weather and the ocean calls me, I think.

Punishingly Intricate

God, I hope it isn't excessively painful. And doesn't give me a rash afterwards. [No, no bikini area. I have a low pain threshhold.])

Your waxer should put an antibiotic cream on after that should help with any rashiness. Also you should exfoliate the waxed areas when you shower in the days following the waxing. This will help prevent ingrown hairs. You could also try washing the area with a basic acne facewash.

Also, you should give yourself a few days between being waxed and sun/water exposure. Especially if you are going to be swimming in a pool.

(Best friend in SF is an aesthetician and she just did my bikini last week. Wish I could send everyone to her. She's an amazing waxer. It wasn't pain free but it was definitely the least painful bikini i've ever gotten. And my aesthetician here is pretty good.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's not as bad as I expected it to be. The results are worth the minor pain.
