on coloring my hair and forgetting things
sometimes i feel like coloring my hair is a waste of money. i colored it blue/black, but i got a little more black and a little less blue. and by a little less, i mean that my hair is mostly black while my fingers are navy blue. granted, it did make my hair one color all over, which is a plus, but it wasn't the color i had intended upon. however, nothing quite beats the feeling of my hair after i color it. which seems weird, since hair color is supposed to damage your hair more than repair it, but the stuff they put out now has so much stuff in it that supposed to be good for your hair, that my hair is never as soft as it is after i color it. i just wish it was more of a drastic color change.
in other news however, i am becoming more and more of a space cadet lately. first of all, last month, i miss my drugs appointment completely. so i rescheduled for this month, and i'm all set today, switch my schedule, program the alarm in my phone so that i don't forget this time, write it on my calendar, everything. so today when the number of children was low enough that they sent people home early (in my case skip my break and leave at 3:30), i call to ask if i can move my 5:45 appointment up any earlier. the doctor calls back and tells me that she just got my message, but that my appointment is for tomorrow. confused, i ask her, isn't my appointment for the 16th. it is, she says, and the 16th is tomorrow. whaaaat? well, that would explain why my alarm didn't go off yesterday to remind me of my appointment the next day. and why it went off about an hour after i spoke to her on the phone to remind me of my appointment tomorrow. but i don't understand how i knew yesterday was the 14th, and somehow thought today was the 16th. does that make any sense? first i miss an appointment completely, then i think it's a different day. she might be concerned tomorrow for my state of mind. i've become a little concerned at my lack of memory lately, but figure it's gotta be something simple. or complicated. or whatever. yeah, not too worried. just...confused. oh well. time for the sleep.
