Thursday already?

New hairstyle, thanks to Angie

I can hardly believe this week has gone by so quickly! On Wednesday morning, Angie came over and trimmed up my hair to hide some of the thinning that’s gotten even worse. I didn’t expect the medications to help immediately, but I sure didn’t expect it to continue to fall out at the rate it is. The hair cut has made a huge difference. I still feel a need to wear something to cover the front and top of my head, but I also don’t feel like I can only wear hats. (Though, as you know from a post last week, I love hats!)

The past few days I’ve done a lot around the house and in the studio. We scheduled for the sprinkler guys to come and make some adjustments to our system, got an electrician in, and ordered a new door for the patio so we will have a French door, rather than a sliding door. We don’t use our patio and pool area enough because you need two hands to open up the sliding glass door the house came with. We suspect we’ll use the patio much more in the fall when we can get out there with a cup of coffee in our hands at the same time!

I’ve done a lot of organizing in the studio, as well. A lot of cleaning up and organizing. I even freecycled some things. There’s a lot more to freecycle, but at least I’m on the right track. Moving things around and placing them where I can find them is such a relief. And the studio feels much more open with each thing I remove. It’s been a great process - one that will continue, I’m sure, for a while. I’ll try to take photos this weekend.

I’ll check in more soon… I just wanted to share my joy at the change and movement that’s happening around here!

    Your banner looks great!
    I love what Angie did with your hair- it looks like she put some “spring” into it!
    You look fabulous in a headband!
