Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHAT???

God, that's just not right.

THANK YOU.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So it's 60Ëš here in NYC right now.

Tomorrow we're supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Had consultation with hair salon today. The color guy tried to talk me into a brown/blonde balayage. I'm sure it would look lovely, but I want a color not found in nature, dude.

Yep. 70 here and snow tonight sometime. Then 70 again by Sunday.

End of days, indeed.

Speaking of the end of things. It's a weird time in so many ways.

I've been seeing a dementia patient every week for the last 21 months. He's an interesting character, but not one of whom I have grown particularly fond. He's difficult, but it's been an amazing thing, drawing him back to cognitive acuity. I honestly didn't think I could help him. It's nowhere near my skill set. Still, it's been great.

The contract is running out this month, so I have been planning termination. It was to begin last week. But the patient mysteriously fell ill with pneumonia. It looks like he is actually going to pass.

I had _just_ primed the family for his cognitive decline, probably within a couple of weeks of my finishing. And, I was concerned that he would feel abandoned by me. It seems it might not come to that and it's weirdly perfect for him.

Funny how things work out.

I had to look up baylayage just now. Pretty!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Baylayage sort of looks like you're growing out a previous dye job in the most attractive way possible.

My upstairs neighbor uses a screen curtain with magnets on her door. We all have screens on our windows, too, but she wants maximum airflow. I'd try it, but I just know my cat would find a way through it in 30 seconds.

I was talking to my hair stylist about "trends" recently, and she is so psyched to do crazy colors!

Not necessarily -- my highlights are balayage and they start all the way at my part. It's just the painting/no foil, I think?
