Yesterday I got my hair colored. I had some major grays coming in at my roots. I tried to pluck a few out, but I'm afraid I'm well past that stage. I wanted to go a little more red in color. I mentioned that to my hair stylist last time and she said that my hair already had a faint hew in the "reddish" category. Not enough for me, though. I went a bit darker for autumn. It wasn't a huge difference, but enough that my husband asked that I get some highlights back next time.

I was supposed to get my eyebrows done today, but had to cancel. We have a plumbing issue again, though this time our downstairs toilet. It's not a pretty sight! Sort of a shocking one, I'm afraid. I had to deal with it this morning, thus the eye brow wax cancellation. Hubby told me not to take a shower because he thinks that could exacerbate the issue. I don't see the link, but I'm not a plumber. Neither is he, though.

Tomorrow my sister and I go to a NAMI Wellness Conference. It's always enjoyable with great key note speakers and workshops. I have volunteered to write up an evaluation for a workshop I attend. I will also help them with the cleanup afterwards. For the that reason, my sister will drive there separately from me.

The conference above, in Lawrenceville, NJ, is sponsored by NAMI Mercer. Walk-ins are welcome, but first choice workshops may not always be available. It's free to attend the key note speaker lecture. The breakfast, lunch, plus two workshops and finale event only cost $20 total per person. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Kenneth Duckworth, a prestigious psychiatrist who has served as the medical director of NAMI National since 2003. He has outstanding credentials in psychiatry and neurology and is currently a clinical assistant professor at Harvard University. He was inspired to go into psychiatry because his father had bipolar disorder. I'm providing these details because it is a wonderful opportunity, in my view, and I know other people live in the eastern PA, NJ, and NY metro areas. I've attended three in the past, and loved them all. The key note speaker takes questions at the end. Last year's keynote speaker was Xavier Amador, author of I'm not sick, I don't need help! and other books. Many may also know of Melody Moezzi, author of Haldol and Hyacinths and a regular writer for bp Magazine. She spoke a few years before.
