Mom is out of surgery. Had to remove a small section that was strangulated. In recovery. Surgeon has zero personality or willingness to answer questions. Fortunately her PCP is awesome. She was on vacation but came by twice with hubby and kids to check on mom. Not sure how long she will be I hospital but a while since her age and pneumonia complicates stuff. But got through surgery so calling it a win.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Timelies all!
We are having a few friends over this afternoon for a party for the little guy. Gary just went out to pick up the cake and a few other things at the supermarket.
Healing ~ma for your mother, Laura.

Sending good thoughts for your mother, Laura. Surgery at that age is no joke.
Jesse, I admit that I loved getting my color done professionally. It was really relaxing, although not cheap. But it looked far better than I could do at home, and didn't result in a huge mess in the kitchen. And they can do stuff like give you streaks and highlights so it doesn't look all one shade, which not a lot of hair really is.
It was expensive, but if you get a color weave or highlights you don't need to get the roots touched up as often, and it also matters how you style it. I was able to get away with white roots for a long time, if I used enough gel.
Went for a run with my niece this morning, which resulted in us running a lot faster than I usually do! Good for us but kind of a sign that I've been slacking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally believe it is worth it! And maybe because I only need a little coverage, my hair person would give me a deal? It just feels like a mint.

Note to self: Unless we invite many, many more people to Sam's 2nd birthday party, a 1/2 sheet cake is far too much cake. (Seriously, I'm going to be eating cake for the rest of the week and then some)

Surely you have coworkers or a meeting to bring it to? I feel like there is always a place for baked goods!

Jesse,
Problem is, there isn't a good way to transport it. (We took apart the box it was in to get it out.)

Oh, it is. Cost me ~$120 each time I did it. Partly because I have so much hair she needed multiple packets of color. I saved about $600/year when I stopped coloring my hair. But since I cut it so short I have to get it cut more often.
The Boss did awesome at agility today! That was really nice. And now I'm making Mark Bittman's cassoulet with spicy sausage and a glass of rose-in-a-can from some Oregon winery. Not bad!
