Summer is here

6/20

First day of summer!  It’s been rainy here the past couple of days so I haven’t been outside. Plus,  I have a new pain.  My left knee is swollen and it is harder to walk than usual.  Tooth update; I forgot, the dentist told me to stop the pain medication on Sunday, 6/14 and see if I still had pain.  Well I haven’t had any shooting pains since!  We’’ll give it one more week and hopefully I will still be painless.  So I got rid of one pain and another one popped up, like “whack a mole.”  This one is much more livable except I can’t go out and kneel to garden.

The temperature this week will be in the 90’s, that sucks for me.

Yesterday I had my hair cut and colored, courtesy of my husband.  He took me to the guy who does his hair.  I had a good 3-4” of gray coming in and was debating letting it all go gray.  I thought of just dying it that pretty gray that the younger generation is using. Unfortunately I was told because my natural color is a medium brown, I would need to lighten my hair a lot first.  He highlighted my whole head very blond. Then he said we can slowly transition to gray.I brought a picture of the cut I wanted, a long shag. Again I was told my hair was too thick for that style.  The haircut is nothing like any of the pictures. He cut off more than I wanted.  The good part is if I want to let it dry natural the curls are really nice.  I think it kind of  looks to old lady to me, but hair grows and I have to see how I look flat ironed.  The blond doesn’t look too bad. I get no input from my husband, just says it looks nice, blah, blah, blah.
