This was son John's answer to his birthday wishers.
Here it is Tuesday and I am going for a hair cut today, trying a new place and a new hairdresser in hopes of finding someone who can undo the damage some of the young ladies at the el-cheapo place have done. They are beginners, or hopeful future hairdressers and cut the customer's hair all similar and neglect to follow the way the hair grows. Sometimes the ladies walk out with an all male haircut, close cropped and glued to their head or an Indian Mohawk standing up straight and tall. I always thought I wanted to wear one of those French Knots but never could stand waiting for my hair to grow long enough to pull it up and twist it. I always thought I'd like a cap cut, it is what we used to call a close hair cut, but if it isn't cut just right it looks pretty sad. So today I will sit in the expensive beauty salon and tell the young lady I am her challenge for the day...do what you can and make me beautiful; an impossible task but everyone needs a challenge for their day. If you think finding a hairdresser for a decent hair cut is hard , wait until you have an unexpected tooth act up and you try to get into the dentist . I walked up to the corner where there is a dental building and walked in to sign up with a dentist. I have a tooth acting up due to my own poking and probing around with one of those fancy imitation dental wands. I know better, but bad habits are bad to break when you want to have your teeth nice and clean and free of bits and pieces of food. It is not ours to do as we probe and pick like we know what we are doing and then find out we started a problem we didn't want or need. I spent yesterday waiting for a call in hopes I would get I and get some relief from a tooth ache. They are not fun. No call and now have to wait until tomorrow to get in. The pain is bothersome but not unbearable, almost, but not quite yet. From the sounds of my words and musing this morning you would think I am falling apart...I am.....Katrina The Great has been seen walking down that pathway slowly but surely......singing that song about the hip bone being connected to the back bone and all that good stuff.....things are wearing thin, but not me...smile. So today take a check on YOU; make sure that you are taking good care of your body, your mind and your heart. Be good, be kind, be gentle and do a good deed or two before this day is over. Find someone to like and to love; find someone you want to make smile; find someone you want to hug; find someone who thinks you are very special and wants to share their seconds with you and light up your first day of summer. Hugs to all. |
