Awake. Mostly ready to head out, but don't need to yet. The flight is not until noon.
Yesterday, I finally went to get my hair trimmed, which I have been meaning to do for quite a while (literally months). I always get about the same trim - raise it to waist height, cut it straight (it grows into a V on its own, which I don't care for since I always wear it back-but-loose).
This time, the lady who was there wanted my hair wet. I've had this before, they just damp it down, works fine. She, however, doused it, then squished it into a ball and wrung it dry. Hair places being what they are, I couldn't see this and didn't figure out exactly what she did until she told me later. My hair falls to my butt. The hairs are fine, but the overall is thick because of how many there are. And they tangle easily. It took FOREVER (and some drying with a towel) to get my hair back to where it was brushed out neatly. Argh. But I did get my trim.
Then, I came home and packed. And then I wanted a shower because of the gunk she had put in my hair while trying to get it to behave (something I can achieve, I should note, without gunk at all, but then I don't brush it while wet and I sure as heck don't wring it that way). And the shower...was...cold. Not amused. The pilot light on our hot water heater had gone out. Scott had noticed his shower was cold this morning but had just assumed, I think, that it was because he didn't give it enough time to really warm up. I wish he'd tested it then, we might have had hot water for my shower last night. As it was I could only rinse my hair because I could not stand in that spray. Argh.
He's now trying to arrange to get it lit again. The gas company can do so, but not until Monday, so he's calling the contractor who did an inspection for us on that stuff just last week. They've said they might be able to get someone here today and will call him back and let him know. ETA: They did, and it's already back on. Yay!
Actually, spending the next two nights in a hotel, visiting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dormouse_in_tea, sounds like it may save my sanity in addition to giving me the very great joy of finally seeing her and spending time with her again!
