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!

Blessed Be
