I totally relate Rainbow! Just this past week, my T came back from being out of town for the holiday weekend and was TAN! I mean so tan it was distracting! (T has great genes apparently) It sounds silly but it is true I had to really focus a couple times to stay on track. So while it is not permanent, anything can throw us. I think it is normal. T changes hairstyles all the time so at least that doesn't throw me.
