I just wake up tired every morning. Is it my medication? Am I malnourished? Is it "just" depression? I don't know. Probably all of it. I do know Ron's computer began yakking loudly about 2 AM for some reason, not really happy about that and PC is getting TURNED OFF every night. If it yaks at me with no power I will move out! Later on I woke up on my own, later yet I woke up again and Spotty was thrilled to see me, got on my chest for petting. He likes a good scratch behind the ears, I discovered. We had a good time. But I woke up exhausted.
It wasn't a bad day, though. I got to work. I was told the company will no longer require a mask for vaccinated employees starting "in a few weeks" and "All this" (waving his hand at the screening room) "Is going away too" so I guess I will just walk in the store like a regular customer now. I do plan to keep wearing a mask, though. I didn't get sick all year riding the bus AND working at Walmart, with pretty heavy customer contact, so I don't want to mess that up.
I did my weekly shopping after work, I noticed some shortages but not in anything I wanted to buy. I'd brought my reusable tote bags so it was very easy to bag them myself (I did self check). I got a cab ride home, I had given him a general idea when I'd be done so he waited in the area.
I got home and put away the perishables. I had set up my henna before I left the house, I mixed some powdered henna with vinegar and boiling water to make a paste. When I got home I squeezed some lemon juice into it and applied it to my hair. I wore an old t-shirt and a poncho. I made a mess but I got my ponytail pretty saturated. Then I put the ponytail into a plastic bag and secured it with one of my hair elastics. It has stayed on for several hours.
Let me see if I can get you a photo. Nope, you will get one Wednesday. It takes a while for the color to age anyway (a couple days). So my hair is draggy and I pulled it back so tight it gave me a headache, but it should be worth it. And I will get better at this the more I do it, but I shouldn't need to do it again for another month or two. It is only the ponytail not the actual head - although I found I did get some on other parts of my hair... but it dried out so it should affect me much. And I had to wipe down pretty well with a wet washcloth as I had henna on my neck, arms, and hands, even with the gloves. We will see.
I plan to rinse my hair in about half an hour, apply conditioner, leave it a few minutes while I do a quick body scrub, and rinse it out... then leave it. I plan to do a hot oil treatment maybe tomorrow or Tuesday after the work is done, not sure. I have the oil. Coconut and olive... some lavender essential oil as well that will make it nice... leave that under a shower cap (have that) for a few hours and then wash out. My hair hopefully will look very nice on Wednesday for the photos.
The nice thing about doing it this way I am not as pressured to redo it. It doesn't matter if it has grown out a little before my next application, it's not around my face. And henna just never looked good around my face but I loved it on the ponytail. And one thing you can bet Walmart does not care what I do to my hair. I have more than one coworker with pink hair, and 2 managers have unnatural streaks in their hair. Walmart picks it's battles and has figured out hair/tats don't matter as long as we work hard, don't steal, and are good to the customers.
So that was pretty much my day. I bought a lunch bag that matches the tote bag I use daily (black and white, both of them). I like it but it was $15 so having some doubts about it. I will think about it a few days, I haven't cut any tags off and won't until I am 100% committed to owning it.
That's it for now..
