wow. hey what's wrong with having long hair at your age and don't you DARE call yourself old! i'll probably keep mine long as long as i can unless at some point i go through some whim and chop it... happens occasionally, and mine grows slowly.

mine is not quite as long as yours, or about the same, it is to my elbows. but it is longer in the back and shorter in the front and somewhat layered.

no the shower was really not refreshing but i got through without keeling is what. i sort of ambled in there without really planning it other than having it in the back of my mind for some time, and then just went through it like an automaton. i think not having the pre-anxiety helped. i also did it right before dinner so when i was done we would have to eat and mom would not get a chance to go in there and freak out about the steam before the vent got everything all nice and dry again - which it does, but she insists on toweling everything down panting furiously and muttering throughout that i should put the vent on DURING.. bla bla bla which upsets me because i can't deal with the cold draft that would cause, and yet watching her mop up upsets me too, but i think doing that is stupid and superfluous because if you wait a stupid half hour with the vent on the vapor clears out just fine!

[end shower rant, sorry.]

that's funny about your daughter knowing about All Saints' and All Souls' Day. FWIW, i did NOT know about this stuff until i came here either, lol. btw, here they call All Souls' Day "The Day of the Dead" ... *shudder* ... always sounds creepy to me!

they mentioned "compromised" weather for today.

what the heck is that. COMPROMISED??? hello? what the heck sort of prediction is that???? i've heard of colorful language but this is beyond any metaphor. does that mean we may only have partial weather? or be weatherless altogether? what happened to partly cloudy and chance of rain ... or windy, cloudy... you know, concrete terms like that? bad enough here they often speak in meteorologicalese, in stead of HUMAN... i.e. if sometimes we just get phenomena also. lovely.

how's our weather? oh... it's phenomenal lately!

[end weather rant]

i didn't sleep tonight i think i might be a bit punchy... guess i should sign off...

hope you have a good day today thanks again for thinking of me.
