I had a pamper day at the aveda school.
started with a $10 donation for breast cancer and got a spin on the prize wheel.
I won a 90 minute facial. So I asked if I could schedule it right after my hair color and
they said yes. so that was awesome.
My new student was great for my retouch of color, my grays look high lighted so that is good. I do an overall high light 2 times a year.
So my facial included arms legs feet and hands massage in addition to the facial which included your chest are as well(decolletage) . She was very good and took her time, it went over 90 minutes and I felt pampered. Self care! The only thing is when I went home there was white areas on my face that should not have been there. I called and spoke to the supervisor and reported saying that I should have been given a mirror and she said that I should have. She was going to talk to the student about it and thanked me profusely for calling.
These are students after all. I still feel like I have been pampered all after noon.
I am very happy with the student who did my hair. She was efficient and I will have her the next 2 months at least depending upon when she graduates . So I am happy with that.
Jeff went to the festival and had fun. Some lady asked him to dance. He had fun.

Discounted root touch up hair color= $35, $10 tip= $45 for hair stylist.
$10 donation for breast cancer= free 90 minute facial, $10 tip=$20 for facial.
$65 for 4 hours of pampering....priceless.

That's an awesome deal for the beauty services you got! And you are worth it!

I need my hair cut and colored. I may color my hair myself one more time. It's very hard for me to do now.

Yes, I drink my usual coffee intake when I am hypo or manic, and I don't notice any difference, but I guess everyone's is different. I don't think caffeine effects mood disorders like alcohol does- unless you're taking a lot of caffeine pills or energy drinks or something.

I don't think Corey can pick up on my milder episodes unless I go on cleaning sprees. But I can't hide the major ones. I do tell him whenever my meds need to be tweaked whenever something's going on tho.

It may be a good thing to ask Jeff if he notices when you're having episodes, but if he starts to question you too much about your recent one, it may be a good idea to drop the issue for the time being

Hi kay,
jeff doesn't see it when I am hypo. I tried to explain it to him...my writing for example. And my rushing during the vacation so I don't really process our trip, remember our trip....Not much response from him.
oh well....

I have this little shower cap from a hotel that I used today to take a shower today. worked great! I took a shower in little time. Maybe I will shower more often now???



Had breakfast at the hub city dinner like usual. Had a cajun sausage omelette with sauteed mushrooms, peppers and onions, with a side of grits and a wonderful grilled biscuit. Had bloody maries with breakfast.



Then we went to a festival today here called festival acadiens and creoles.
Bought a few items: a metal fleur de le with a carved wooden red heart in the middle. Kelly Guidry is the artist and we have admired his work for over a decade. Have always wanted something of his so this stuck out and today was the day. I have no idea where to put it. It is medium size. In the office, I think it should go next to the large picture of jackson square with the cathedral...horse and buggy's present with ladies and gents. Every one wore hats, even the children..


I will try to take a picture once we hang the art work...
Tonight we go to our friends house for dinner. Paul's girl friend from hong kong is cooking. We bought him some cajun coasters since he has been using his ex's ones the last time we were there. These are brightly colored campbell soup cans with louisiana crawfish coming out of the top of the can.

He will like them.

You may not ever give up Alcohol.

But maybe for now you could do the Monday - thursday.

And if you can't drink in moderate. Maybe pick each week
a day Friday-Sunday. To try and not drink that week too.

I realize with Friday's trivia night, this is a problem. But
maybe you can find a answer.

I wish I could help more.

I had 14 drinks over the course of the day and never felt drunk.
We can't afford to drink this much.
It is bad for my health and weight.
I stopped by fat pats on the way home and had 2 beers.
hubby did not know...that is I don't think so.

I'm happy that your new shower cap worked out so well! It's nice you can shower quickly and maybe more often now

I'm glad you had so much fun at the festival and found some good things to buy! You have so many interesting activities going on in your area... I'm jealous!

You will not stop drinking until you are ready... if you are ready. Some people can't see themselves living a life alcohol-free, BUT I was one of those people.

You could drink those 14 drinks and not feel drunk because your tolerance is high because you haven't taken a totally AF break in a while.
Since you don't plan on quitting drinking now, I think that sticking to your Monday-Thursday AF plan makes sense. You can still maintain some control, and your drinking won't interfere with your work or other important obligations, which is something that negatively effects the lives of most alcoholics. I think that's more important than watching your weight, but I understand how much your weight bothers you (((HUGS)))

Restricting the number of drinks on the weekend is something that is harder to do, but you have done it before. One way that Corey manages it while he is out and has to drive, is he drinks water, too. I know you have done it in the past as well. It may help if you try doing it again

I know how hard this all is for you, and how hard you are on yourself (((HUGS)))
But remember, the sun rises everyday, and you wake up with a fresh start
