About time...

Sometimes, I get so caught up in work and life that I forget to take care of me.  I know the mantra...if you love yourself you can love others better.  It's not that I don't love me, it's just that I seriously need to write myself notes to remember to do things...like cut my hair. Anyway, I had been wanting to cut my hair for weeks.  I also needed to get my eyebrows waxed.  In my free time off of work I have been going to the dentist.  I had a root canal that went bad (I didn't even know that happened) and resulted in an infection. I almost cancelled my original appointment with my dentist because the pain went away, thanks for all the love and support to tell me that meant I REALLY need to get my rear to the dentist.  I had been exhausted for weeks and running low grade fevers, I just thought I was worn out.

Anyway, this morning I went in for an extraction.  I think as an adult the tooth fairy should leave you like 10 times the amount of normal, because the dentist REALLY had to yank and pull to remove the tooth.  The tooth root broke, but the procedure went well.  It just took a few hours.  They started prepping my mouth for a bridge, that will happen in 3 weeks once I'm healed up a little more.  I slept all afternoon, which my body probably needed.  When I woke up, I worked for about an hour before J came home from work. 

We went to get our hair cut, only to find out the wait time was over an hour.  (I know, I know, most women actually make appointments, but I just go to Cost Cutters. I'm pretty relaxed about my hair.)  We wrote our names down on the list and went to a new BBQ place for dinner.  We came back to a short wait and it was time to get down to business.  I was so glad we took a before and after picture, because I had no idea how badly I needed a trim! I kind of look like a 13 year old skater boy in the before picture. Which is youthful, but not super professional.  I also got a different cut than normal. I didn't do the layers as usual, I was really happy with how it turned out.  It feels good too.

Now if my lost tooth and hair cut amounted to anything on the scale, we'd be in business.  I suppose my confidence and feeling better when that infection is gone will all help this week though. Anyway, thought you might enjoy the picture.
