YAY! My boss is back. Now maybe I won't be so damn bored and stuck at work!

That is all!

Yesterday was Aunt Mary's funeral. It was standing room only! So many people love her. There was a wonderful story told about catching too many fish and getting them past the game warden. I can SEE her in that story.

 

I miss her so much, we are all saddened by her passing. What I would not give for one more of her hugs, and to hear it told yesterday, I am not nearly the only one in this world that feels that way.

 

My heart is hurting for all that miss her, but I am selfish right now, and it hurts for me. All I can do now, is try to live and love like Mary did. I know she was not perfect, and when we loose someone, we tend to remember only the good, but I know that she was more good than anything else, and I will just strive to do the good things that she did, and miss her for them, and love her for them, and count myself lucky for having been on the receiving end of them!

Well, my homework didn't post, so I lost all my progress.

I haven't slept well in weeks.

My Grrrl is soul crushingly depressed and She is sick, that I know for sure, because I am getting it too...

We are all sad about the passing of a favorite Aunt, but I have to be strong for her... So I do what I can.  

 

What happens when you've been too,strong for too long?

 

I didn't want to go to class today, I don't want to be at work either, 

I don't want to be around people at all...

What I wouldn't give for a hotel room where no one can find me for a good 24 - 48 hours.

You know, with the good strong AC, and nothing good on TV, just sleep, wake for a shower, eat something, then back to sleep...

 

Last night Cara was texting me, just normal back and forth stuff, but every time my phone went off I wanted to chuck it out a window...

I feel like a paper bag at the market. My bottom is wet and I've been stuffed to full of things I until I can't possibly fit any more... I'm about to break, loose my bottom and shatter all the things I've been charged with carrying...

Sorry to vent here, but I was hoping that it would help...

I am glad that I stopped washing my hair with baking soda and rinsing with vinegar. Yesterday on the shuttle bus I was behind a lady who smelled like vinegar. STRONGLY...

 

Watching the 9th Doctor, the bad guy from Gone In 60 Seconds. Still like the 11th Doctor better. We'll see how I feel about the 10th Doctor when I get to him...

 

 

Blessed Be!

Shampoo Free Day... ?

So, I woke up late today, so I didn't have time to do my normal stuff when I got ready. I did wash and rinse with baking soda and vinegar yesterday, so... This morning, I did not need to wash with anything, I did use conditioner, and I left a tiny bit in, more out of rushing than anything else. My hair did feel more tangled with I flipped and tousseled it...Is that a word? I am pretty sure that it is, but spell check disagrees. Bite Me Spell Check! Stop trying to stifle my creativity!

 

Anyhow, didn't have time to do the two twists like I do either, so one barrette on top, not my favorite... Tonight, early to bed again, and MAYBE early to rise like I wanted???

 

 

Blessed Be!

Shampoo Free Fail

Today I had to use shampoo. Even after baking soda, the greasiness of the coconut oil would not come out. I used my curl shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels better, cleaner, softer. But my curls are weighed down and not as, curly...

So, either I can be green and have great curls with tangles and an unsettling feeling on my hair, or I can have nice feel, but less curl.

I think I will go back to green in the morning, and see how it goes, also, a trim might help one way or the other...

New Beginnings

Today, I am 39 all day long. Today, I started stepping again, I did an hour, and I AM FEELING IT!!!

Today, I started watching Doctor Who, must say, I am enjoying it, one episode in, but still.

Today, I am not going to eat healthy, because I have left over pizza from last night ;), but I am going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I will get chicken breasts, and rice and beans, and those will be my staples for the next few weeks. I wish that I had the will power to do a cleanse, but I don't, so there it is!

New Beginning

Blessed Be!

Shampoo Free Day 6

So, I washed with baking soda, rinsed with vinegar last night, and did a coconut oil treatment last night. I rinsed my hair this morning, but did not wash or rinse it again.

So far today, it looks like I have product in it that is making it look wet. It does feel a bit heavy and greasy. I need to find a better balance I think, because this is not how I want my hair to fell, although my curls do look good!

The site that I found all of this info on says it takes at least a couple of weeks to get to a happy balance, and despite those that might want me to fail ;), I am not giving up.

Shampoo Free Day Five

So, I took a shower before bed, washed with baking soda, rinsed with vinegar, and then, I put coconut oil in my hair. It is very nice. My hands were coated, so I put it all over. We will see how I feel in the morning, or how long it takes me to break out all over!

I also think that the vinegar might be irritating my neck, so I put anti- itch cream on my neck. We will see how that works too.

I will try and rinse the coconut oil out in the morning, I might have to use shampoo, and that might be the straw that breaks my wills back!

Good Night!

Shampoo Free Day 5

Last night my hair felt heavy with product when I went to bed. Probably because I was so wind blown from going to and from school. It is more tangled, and doesn't feel as soft when I touch it. However, it looks fine, and the curls are better I think. They do not seem weighed down like they did before. Did I say that already?

This morning I did not use baking soda, only vinegar, like yesterday, I think? I do not stink, and I do not smell the vinegar, so I guess it is going well.

Shampoo Free Day 4

No baking soda, yes to vinegar... Hair seemed harder to manage, but looks and feels fine an hour and a half later...

Shampoo Free Day Three

Didn't shower yesterday, but my son did brush my hair, and he said my hair was less tangled. Today, Monday, I did "wash" with baking soda, and rinse with vinegar. Same son, because I only have one, said that it smelled kinda vinegar-y. However, once dry, it was OK. I did not do it the same way I usually do, but it seemed OK. 

As I am getting ready to go to bed, it does feel a little strange, but I am sticking with it, at least until something terrible happens!

When My Grrrl gets home, I am going to get my hair trimmed, we will see what difference that might make?

That is all, 

Blessed Be

Lyrics

All This Time by One Republic

All this time,
we were waiting on each other.
All this time,
I was waiting on you.
We got all these words,
Can't waste em on another.
So, Im straight in a straight line,
running back to you.

Not sure where I found these, but they seem fitting with the changes to the marriage laws in our city last week!

Fu*k It, Let's Make Wine Round 4 ( I think)

This was supposed to be from LAST Sunday. There should have been pics documenting the start of it,but  I guess not. If I can find them, I will post them. I will also check on the "wine" because that is what I was planning to do, once a week... It depends on how I feel later!

Trying Something New

Yesterday I started washing my hair with baking soda only, and rinsing it with vinegar. I did it before we went to Nana's. We drove Marie home. With all of that driving, I was wind blown, but not any worse than normal. Since I was sweaty, and going out to dinner with friends I took another quick shower, and rinsed with vinegar again, and then I used a tiny bit of product in my hair. Since it is still hot,and I do not have AC in my van, I was a bit windblown when I got to dinner, but again. no worse than normal. I am super tired today, so I don't know if I will even shower, but since I do not need to do the baking soda daily, that might be OK.

That is all for now.

Blessed Be
