Tinted eyebrows

Wednesday

I got up after Chris left for work. I cleaned out some space in the kitchen to make room for coffee and supplements. I put the dehydrator on for another run. I did my special exercises. I read for half an hour with the red light. I tapped and meditated. I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. I washed dishes, including the new 4 qt measuring cup. I decided I didn't like it because the pour spout was too small, the handle was too short and it didn't measure accurately. Shame on Pyrex. I vacuumed and mopped. I laid out in the yard and read. I took a shower and got dressed.

I had noticed a man hanging around my yard and when I went outside, he asked about the sprinkler system. So I told him what I knew. Then I walked to the post office. I asked the hairdresser for an appointment to get my brows tinted. She told me to come back in half an hour. I went to the front desk to get my mail and talked to the clerk. I walked home, took supplements, and drove back. The hairdresser sat me by another lady who lives on Valdez. We chatted as the hairdresser swabbed my eyebrows with hair tint. She left it on for awhile, then swabbed it off. She said a few hairs didn't take, so she mixed up something else and swabbed again. We all talked for a bit, then she swabbed it off.

When I looked in the mirror, I was horrified. It looked like I was wearing brown eye shadow under heavy brows. She told me to go out where the light was better, but the sun was so bright I couldn't see anything. I smiled, paid her, and went home to hide.

I texted Michelle and sent a selfie. She said it was fine, but I needed to shape my brows. I also texted Jenni, who said I should get comfortable with it because it'll last 6 months. I decided to go clean for an hour to take my mind off of it. Jamie came over before I left to get the key to the chaplain's house so she could get her stuff.

After that, I drove to the York's. I cleaned for over an hour, but only charged an hour to our time. No way can we do this in the 8 hours we bid on. I went home. Chris was already home. I read e-mail and messages.

The lady came late. She brought her dress to be shortened which sadly was chiffon over satin. Yards and yards of chiffon. It had a tiny rolled hem which I don't think I can duplicate. We discussed this and that and picked colors of thread. After she left, I texted Michele to come over. She helped me think through the best way to hem both layers.

Michele stayed to talk to Chris. I went out and watered the outdoor plants, then the indoor plants. Then the sprinklers came on, so I went out to observe and was satisfied. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched one episode of Longmire and read one section of the 2nd devotional book. Later he went to bed. I stayed up to listen to some sleep music, then I went to bed, too.
