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!

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?

I am tempted by extensions, but I'm not sure I'd be able to justify the cost.

Bright colors yay!

Argh, my joints are feeling the barometric pressure yo-yo.

I should not have started this macro. Sigh.

I saw something, somewhere, on the internet where a woman had her hair dyed a couple of neon colors (yellow and green, if I remember correctly) that GLOW IN THE DARK.
