A Portrait in Blah - Day 48

From the restaurant of the hotel in Seattle

What a weird day. I did nothing, other than go to the store and come back home. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, I did make a fresh batch of Jamaica for my water, cleaned the bottle, and the like, but other than that, nothing. The store just sets me into a pissesque mood. I don't know why. It wasn't even necessarily busy. No stress. No excuse. Just how I came home, and for that I am sorry to my Beloved. 

I'm getting closer and closer to a very short haircut. However, now that I say that, I feel like I'm regaining some hair, so who knows? It's just so thin, the hair. Irony. The carbs, and garbage, and the diabeetus don't lend to a full and flowing mane of locks. Almost two months of keto, though, helps encourage new wispies. 

We'll see. Maybe this: 


 or this


I know that I will never bleach out a full head of hair ever again, but when you start with next to zero, I think it would be much easier to maintain and not let get all grossly dried out. Given how fast what hair I do have grows, even if I did a full platinum, I would have enough new growth within a month to make it not look so stark. 

I did once have my hair cut as short as both of these pictures, but the first one was a bit traumatizing because I was not mentally prepared, and thusly, I have ZERO pictures of me in that stage. It was a weird time. I must not have looked at myself at all during that phase because I don't even remember exactly what it looked like. 

This is what I had planned to do last Friday upon arriving in Seattle, but once I got off the plane, I was so not in the mood, so I cancelled the appointment. My last couple of times at a salon left me less than whelmed, and so it's going to take some time for me to decide to whom and where I will go. 

So, yeah ... It was just a weird day. I was in a pissy mood, and then just an off (as in light switch OFF) mood. I listened to a collection of Bon Iver, Kaleo, Kings of Leon, Ben Howard, Manchester Orchestra, and other very mellow folk ... and did NOT think. Sometimes, I guess you just need to completely shut down, and run on E for a minute.
