Hello!  First things first...

Hair
Before:

After:

Cheryl, my scissors lady, did a great job as usual.  I donated about 10 inches of hair but still have enough to bun or ponytail.  When I made the appointment, my intention was to get a short, short cut.  The closer the appointment came though, the more I wanted to cancel.  Then I thought, "You big dummy; it's not an all or nothing situation.  Compromise, woman, compromise."  --Which is how the collarbone length came to be.  I like this length a lot, and I look the same from the front as I did pre-cut.  Will I grow out my hair again?  Probably!  As good as this shorter length feels right now, I know myself well enough to admit that I love having super long hair--it's simply a part of who I am.

Nonsense
The Christmas holiday is over and I am back at the office.  I worked hard while at home...cleaning house, stacking wood, cooking holiday meals, etc.  I ate too much junk food but *shrug* it is what it is.  Time to get back to healthier choices and taking walks.

The flood water has us driving the long, long way to town but we are safe.  (Im)patiently waiting for the water to recede.  Our bad weather, i.e. ice and snow, usually happen in January and February, and sometimes even March, so we could get slammed anytime now.  I'm dreading it this year, more so than usual, not sure why.  I just don't want it to happen...

I turned 54 on January 1st, yay!  Next year, double nickel baby.  Heh.
