My optometrist&#8217;s daughter is going to school there so she cut my hair. I went a bit too short &#8211; I had about 5-6 inches taken off and now my hair is flipping out instead of under like I prefer. That always happens when it just hits my shoulders, so that&#8217;s going to be annoying for a few months until it grows another inch or so. It is nice not having to deal with all the tangling, though, because it was just too long and I kept putting off getting it cut because I&#8217;m never happy with the end result. No matter how I explain it, they can never quite get it how I want. Maybe I am unreasonable. But it&#8217;s even, and now that it&#8217;s shorter I can get away with not blow drying it every day and it looks ok. It even looked ok today without having to wash it, so that&#8217;s a bonus, especially because it got washed three times on Saturday. I washed it before my appointment not knowing they have to wash and condition it before the cut as part of their training. Then later that day I washed it again because my head always feels itchy after a cut. So now my poor scalp is a bit dry. I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t have to wash it this morning as to give it a little break.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday (02\/24)<\/strong> we went to a matinee showing of <em>Happy Death Day 2U<\/em> which was&#8230; interesting. It was a bit hard to follow and had some plot holes (what movie doesn&#8217;t?), so I think I preferred the simplicity of the original, but the sequel wasn&#8217;t bad either. It&#8217;s definitely one that makes more sense if you see the original first, though. <\/p>\n<p><strong>This morning<\/strong> I had an ultrasound of my gallbladder, etc. and what a frickin shit show that turned into! <\/p>\n<p>I arrived 15 minutes early per their directions and was told the tech was running late and wouldn&#8217;t be in until 9:30 am. So I opted to go home and come back since it&#8217;s less than 10 minutes from the house. When they called a bit later to tell me she will definitely be in at 9:30, I should have been more skeptical because the story was she locked her keys in her car and would be leaving her house at 9:15 am. Considering it wasn&#8217;t even 9 am when they called to relay this info, that meant she THOUGHT she&#8217;d be done at that time. Because if she already had her keys why wouldn&#8217;t she had already left her house? So I arrived at 9:35 am and could tell by the call I overheard that she still hadn&#8217;t left her house. What kind of rude ass bitch waits until AFTER the time she&#8217;s supposed to be at work, a place that has patients waiting for you according to a schedule, to call and give an update? <\/p>\n<p>I was about to go off on them and cancel my appointment but somehow they were able to have a different tech do the procedure. Which was painful, by the way. And isn&#8217;t supposed to be according to the woman. So either it hurt because of my fibro, or I&#8217;ve got tumors all over me or something. She did say I was very gassy. Maybe that&#8217;s because even though I didn&#8217;t eat per their instructions, I wasn&#8217;t told what kind of food to eat at dinner which would have helped things (non-fat per my cousin who has had the procedure before). Also, I was told not to drink either and that was incorrect. Drinking water could have aided in my food digesting better and having less gas. So note to self &#8211; research the proper way to prepare for the procedure since these people don&#8217;t know how to communicate effectively. Ugh! Just glad that is over. I cleaned the upstairs between my two trips there so now I can spend the rest of the day relaxing if I so choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday (02\/23) I had my hair cut at one of those training academies.
