Tuesday night is a melancholy time. I think about how nice my past two days have been and brace myself for the long days that Wed/Thurs will bring and the idea that I will see Hannah for the last time when she tucks into bed on Tuesday night. Next time I will get to spend time with her will be the brief ride from school to TKD on Thurs and won't really get to be with her until Friday when I pick her up from TKD. It's not a huge ordeal, I'm sure, but when one is used to being there for every waking and lying down of one's child, this is a rough shock to the system. The nice thing with all of that is that, although exhausting, the two days I have class go by rather quickly, speeding up the arrival of the weekend all over again.
Today I got a haircut and color. I remember when color wasn't an issue. Now I am probably salt and pepper/gray under the mask of dark auburn, so I will just keep that up and not explore the likes of my "natural" color. The big problem-o of the hair cut seems to be that it could be somewhat lopsided. I think the hair on the left is half an inch longer than the hair on the right. It all remains to be seen when I try to "do" it tomorrow. If it is, in fact, lopsided, I guess I will be getting an even shorter haircut to even it all out.
Our Sunday cookout was a pleasant, intimate gathering of 8 instead of 18. One family was sick, the other no-showed and called 3 hours after the fact. It made for lot of leftovers. Regardless, we had a nice time and look forward to doing it again. Keith did a wonderful job as grill master. Our neighbor, Merrie, made one of her pound cakes... Lord, I could live on it.
Speaking of pound cake, I don't need to be eating pounds of anything. I am feeling as big as a house lately.
Well, need to take advantage of my last relaxing night and get to sleep.
