Hair
I'm on the fence about cutting my hair. This is why I always wait to cut for a couple of weeks when the urge hits me. It's fine for others to spout the offhanded advice of "it's JUST hair; it WILL grow back". However for longhairs it's not that easy. Take my hair for example: it represents 2 1/2 years of growing and care, not unlike a garden that you tend. Two and a half years is a good chunk of life...heck, it's longer than some marriages last nowadays. So yes, cutting off my hair is a big decision, one that I do not make lightly. I always go back to my older paper journals and find the entries made around the time after a cut. Was I happy with the cut? How long did it take me to want to regrow my length? Why did I decided to regrow? Something else I have to consider is my age; in a couple of weeks I'll turn 54. There may be a time limit factor involved, to where I won't always be able to regrow my hair to waist length and beyond. (I want to believe that I can, but who knows...) On the other hand, maybe I'm overthinking this thing...I tend to do that...I know you're shocked. Heh But seriously, there are more important issues in life than hair.

It's final exams week here at good ol' Southeast Missouri State University, so I'm busy running teachers tests through the Opscan machine. They love me right now. Next Wednesday will be my last day to work for the year--won't have to come back until January 4. I have a few plans for the time off; there are a couple of shops I want to visit, and I'd like to do some reading, and I desperately need to clean the house. I may have to help The Mister do inventory although he's assured me he can do it himself.
