Hair
Apparently my hair is longer than I thought.  When I measure, the number doesn't mean much to me.  But when I snap a photo...

I appear to be very close to waist length--maybe an inch away, perhaps.  See where my hand is resting?  That's my waist.  Holy cow.  (Also, this outfit seems to have become my official hair length photo, as I have worn it in the last 3 or 4 photos.  lol)  

I'm loving the addition of honey in my conditioner.  I've started using it on all of my hair, not only the length.  My process is to slather the condish on my length first, then apply the leftover to the hair on top of my head.  Somebody somewhere (probably a magazine article) told me to condition only the length, the hair below the ears, but never to the top of your head because it would make your hair look greasy.  And so that was the rule I stuck to for decades.  But lately I got to thinking, eventually the hair on top of my hair will eventually become my length, and it deserves special treatment too.  

Even though I don't use any product on my hair, (no spray, no gel, no leave-ins, etc.) shampoo and condish can build up too, and so I need to start doing regular cleansing washes followed by a deep conditioner.  Maybe this weekend I'll have time to do so.

We had to have another of our cats put down last night.  Without going into detail, the vet determined kitty had suffered a snake bite.  Slim, pictured below, makes three we've lost this year, leaving us with three.  He was a stray we took in, who turned into a fine and loving pet.  Rest well, my friend.
