I've managed to avoid all the icky virii this year, except for now. There's just no denying this sore throat, and I've run out of (my savior) Airborne. Bleh.
In other news, I no longer have loooooong hair. Well, technically, I suppose I do, but it's sitting there in a ponytail on my nightstand, waiting to be donated to Locks for Love. I'm procrastinating, because I do get a sense of pride whenever I look over at the small pile of effervescent curls and realize that it came from my head! But really, I am loving the short haired lifestyle, as I knew I would. It's just so much more practical when I don't have to worry about getting it stuck in the car window, or in the beards of men I may happen to embrace. And perhaps the money I am saving in shampoo will balance out the more regular expenditures at the stylist. Probably not though, because, in medical fashion, she is making me come back every 5 weeks so she can further shape her "artistic vision."
What else? I am starting my 4th season with the Screaming Sirens softball team, and have been trying to become more physically strong, so that I may surprise a few people who try to play me too close. In addition, I am trying to develop a more reliable "squeeze" reflex so that I don't scare my teammates as much with my near-miss acrobatic catches. We shall see.
