Dec. 28th, 2012
I'm undecided about today. The two top contenders are haircut or swim class. I could do both but, hey, no need to get crazy.
The swim class is with my favorite teacher but is a tough drive on a Friday afternoon. Class is 1:30. I sure wish it was earlier in the day. Plus, I'll be making the trek tomorrow as it's pool for my Saturday morning class.
I do need a haircut. I'm thinking about busing to the other end of town to the Rudy's in Belltown, getting cut and walking home. Good exercise and in an area I don't normally walk.
I think the haircut is going to win.
I got a lot done yesterday, as it turns out. One whole closet completely emptied and reorganized. The older I get the more I appreciate tidy. And I love having the time to do it at my leisure.
Ok, I think it's time to hit the road. If I don't get going in the morning, I just don't get going. It's my wiring. Here in retired-ville, it seems like anything after lunch is 'no hurry, tomorrow is soon enough.'

hair cut plus
Dec. 28th, 2012 02:22 pmI headed out to get a haircut and the trip just grew like topsey. I left the house at 10. I got home at 2.
My hair is very cut. I told her I wanted a lot off the back and sides and otherwise I didn't care. I think she heard "I want a lot off". I should have had her trim my ass! Oh well, it will grow back and I will save money not having to get another haircut for months and months. Plus I'm running out of my chlorine removing shampoo - I think I'm going to hold off buying any more. I don't have enough hair to justify it.
Just before the cutting, I got a call from the drug store that my prescription was ready for pickup... Er... ooops. In an effort to get my Walgreens.com account kick started, I had sent a note to my doctor asking that he refill a skin cream I use sometime and refill at Walgreens.com. He sent a note back that he had sent the prescription to Walgreens.com and yet... Bartell's drug store filled it. Snap! Oh well.
After hair cut, I decided to just take a bus up to Bartell's which I did after a bit of a walk. Then I remembered that Po Dogs - a hot dog place that is supposed to have great hot dogs and great french fries is very close and next door to the Lifelong Aids Thrift Shop which I always mean to stop by and check.
So it was dogs for lunch and thrift shop after. (Really good fries - very mediocre hot dog - nothing of interest at the thrift store.)
When I was done I was about 3 miles (but lots of hills) from home and no good way to get there by bus. I finally hoofed up up a large hill - slowly and waited 20 minutes and caught a bus. My phone bus app lied about where the bus stopped and I ended up way further from home than I intended but what the hell. I just walked on home.
It was fine. Chilly but I had gloves and hood Sunny but not glaring and not in my eyes. Betty was very happy to see me.
I'm taking the rest of the day off.
