First off, I should preface this by saying that I am NOT feeling well to begin with today. Due to the last 3 of 4 nights spent storming, I believe my allergies are saying, “enough of this shit.”
My throat feels like it’s about half the size it should be; my glands are swollen; I’m sneezing and my ears are hurting and stuffy. I’m pouring myself vitamin C and drinking orange juice and taking allergy medicines, but it’s not really working.
Then I am letting this crazy-ass haircut I got grow out. It was really cute- for about 5 weeks. I’m now 10-12 weeks into it and I’m not liking it now. I might like it more if I had time to fix it, but I don’t or at least I don’t make it. I want my hair to be longer again and this isn’t working for me right now. Damn that natural curl that I was given. Shit.
I also need my brows and lashes tinted, and my brows waxed again, but I’m in the middle of freakin’ nowhere, and I have no effing idea where to go to get these things done, and it’s not like I can just run up the road on a five minute trip. I’m usually 9 miles away from the highway down a gravel road, and the closest *real* town is something like 35 miles. Maybe I should give up on trying to be girlie? I mean, since caring about how I look seems like an exercise in frivolity.
Oh, and did I mention I feel fat? Yup. Fatty me. I’m not really of course, but I feel like it and I’m sans mountain bike- thanks to you shithead ex husband- and I don’t know that I’d have time to ride it anyhow, but I’ve at least got some nice gravel roads to ride on should I actually get it back.
Basically I might should go back to bed and see if I can’t wake up on a *better* side of the bed- the one that allows me to count my blessings- like that I *GET* to ride beautiful, non-piss-headed horses all day, I’ve got great company, and I’ve got tall grass, a sun-filled sky to do this in. I’m struggling with that at the moment, however.
um . . . do I hear the monthly monster coming on?
No monthly monster here. Ortho Evra is the best, girl. My monthly monster is quarterly. Ain’t life grand?
so let me get this straight.
you get to ride good horses EVERYDAY. . .
you get to look at rolling meadows and green stuff far as the eye can see EVERYDAY . . .
you’re branding calves and castrating horses . . .
and doing it all in 76 degree weather . . .
AND
your monthly monster is only QUARTERLY . . .
Dude seriously . . . if it gets any better for you I’m gonna have to bash my head in with a hammer
Girl, you are beautiful, and if getting your brows and lashes tinted makes you feel better about yourself, I say do it! A 30 minute, or 30 mile ride isn’t THAT far! When I lived in the country, I drive to work 45 miles, one way, every day. I LOVED the ride. Jump in that truck, turn up the radio and just GO! You deserve it!
Wow. I would also like to add what VE said!
Want me to get you a self waxing kit from sally’s? It’s not so hard to do your own–just be careful and pull fast. You could do your own brazilian too if you wanted…. arrr arrr.
Had dinner at Jeff and Mitch’s Monday. Mark was there and says to wish you the best and that it looks like you’re right where you need to be and in paradise.
Let me know on the wax.
Girl, come on now…It aint that bad!!! Wait, I have not been waxed (brows) in oh…..9 months??? Hair grows back. Just put on a ball cap and let it grow!!! Chin Up!!!! Life is great!! 🙂 Now, go back to bed, you are making me sick! 😛
