Well, I finally got to have my hair done yesterday. I HATE going to a hairdresser. I HATE being touched by other people that I don't know. I hate all the inane chatter when I would much rather sit in silence and try .... TRY relax. Geez - I am a grouch.

Anyway - hair cut and style was desperately needed AND was a reward for losing weight - so off I go. The head massage almost put me to sleep. Is it possible to sleep with clenched fists? So tight that blood started appearing from my nails? I only noticed this afterwards.

The hairdresser - first time I went to her - chatted on and on and on throughout - even with the hairdryer going. Eventually I was nodding and umming and ahhing without even really hearing what she was saying.

Well, hair looked nice. Cost of entire episode almost saw me having apoplexy on the spot but perhaps the blood-inducing head massage made it worthwile.

Hubby later called me beautiful. Haven't heard him use that particular word with me in years.

Money well spent!

Change of subject.

Christmas ........... and gifts ....... on a tight tight tight budget.

I bought some (really cheap) polyresin fridge magnets (of fish and sea horses), for my son to paint for all the grannies, great grannies and aunts, as a Christmas gift from him.

He has very much enjoyed painting these over the last few days and I think they will make precious gifts.

It has just started pouring with rain.

It is the middle of summer.

Strange.

The skies are grey.

I miss my husband who has gone on a "boy's only" weekend.

I don't want to be alone.

I want to sleep.

But I am still lonely.

I want my hair to look nice again.

Thanks for letting me chat!

Being a retired hairdresser myself, I am sorry that you couldnt enjoy the experience. But I do understand why. Your hairdresser sounded alot like me !! lol. Man this reminds me of old times. People used to request that I shampoo them. I wasnt afraid to give them a good scratchin lol And I always made sure that towards the end they were relaxed by a good scalp massage. My number one goal was to always have that person leaving feeling better than when they came in. I was very sensitive though to whether or not they were in a chatty mood or not. Or if they just needed some quiet time . I did notice alot of moms needed that . And older women needed company.
Sorry I am just rambling here. I hope over time you do become more comfortable with getting your hair done. I am glad your hubby noticed and complimented you on it though.. That had to be a perk for ya!!

Take care hon, I'll be thinking of you!

I understand what you mean by being uncomfortable. I go in every eight weeks and have my hair trimmed but other than that, I do the rest myself. I even color my own hair. Actually, I have gotten good at it, since have been doing it for 35 years now!! Hee Hee!!
That is sooo great that your husband gave you such a sweet compliment!!
I don't dress up alot cause I stay home most of the time but I actually dressed up today and wore a new red silk blouse!! It is beautiful and when I realized that my husband wasn't giving me any compliments on it, I finally asked him if he liked my blouse. He goes, oh ya, it looks good. I had to fish for it but finally got it!!
The relatives are going to love the magnets!! I know I would if my grandson gave me one that he painted.

I know how rain feels in summer... it has a unique way of stealing all hope of happiness and leaves me with only my tears to the steady drip, drip of the drops on my window.

I'm glad your hair looks good at the end of all that... I am lucky because one of my friends is a hairdresser and she works out of her home, so when I go it's only me and her... Maybe it's a good first step to get used to society and people again...

Happy holidays.
