Thanks bunny for reading all that. I've become verbose of late, and since I'm aware of that, I will be successful in reducing it, also.

Yes, I went to bed, had a glass of cognac, and rested. I told myself that I'd go if I was able to, and not worry if I didn't go. With that stress gone, and the rest allowing me to destress some, I finally did end up going. I forgot about the clock, figured they had a special plate for me that wouldn't go to anyone else... I did arrive quite late, but before the awards. But my hair was only "ok." grrr

On top of all that, I was going to have a photo shoot afterwards, which I cancelled also (since hair wasn't done.) And also before I knew I wouldn't have my new and decent hair style, when the church called me about directory photo, I signed up for next week. NOW I have that on my calendar, but also have to try and get my hair done that day??? IDK.

sorry, another long post grrrrr
