Hello December

We're slowly decorating for Christmas this week. I don't know if it will ever feel like Christmas for us in Arizona. I can't get in the mood for Christmas here.

We're home from vacation. We took it easier this time and rested more. Sat by the ocean more. Relaxed more. I needed it to be this way. My stomach grew big and was painful every night, and I had two migraine days that wiped me out.

I had another gastro appointment today. New medicines. New restrictions. More testing ordered. The only thing I've seen an improvement with is my throat. My voice is no longer hoarse - finally! - and food doesn't feel like it's stuck when I swallow.

I came home from vacation wanting a change. I'm tired of having to wear frumpy, loose clothes and having my hair look awkward as I've been growing out my grays for 18 months now. I thought a fresh haircut might be enough change. The hairdresser did everything I told her I didn't want.


Go ahead and laugh. It's so so so bad. How did she mess it up this much? I specifically asked for one length, beneath my shoulders, no chunky layers. Why did she do this to me? It's hideous. Hahahahaha!! What am I supposed to do with this????

So I went somewhere else and asked a hairdresser to cut it to the shortest layer. And I guess I got a big change after all. Short hair wasn't in my plans for this week, but it's so much better than that haircut. It also got rid of a lot of brassy old hair dye. 


I went out in public again.
