On long hair, beds and electricity

Hair...NOT the 60's play

I have long hair. It's longer than hair should be on a woman my age and advancing grayness! I'm getting it cut today. I'm not sure how short I'll have the nerve to go, but it will be much shorter than it is, that's for sure! I'm going to spend some time looking at hair dos on the internet before I go to the hairdresser and maybe print out a photo or two to show her. She's an artist and my hair always feels so good when she's done cutting it. It feels thicker, and much nicer. A good cut makes so much difference. I can't wait for it to just be done so I can blow dry it faster, style it more and not have such a hunk of hair to blow dry after I swim. The driers at the "Y" are so wimpy, I've been just leaving with wet hair because I'd be there an extra half hour to get it to dry with them.

Beds by the number!

My son had a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed and I have it at my house now. Andy got it all set up after I looked up the directions on the internet to find out how. Thank God for the internet, you can find almost anything you ever wanted to know on here! Anyway, I laid down on that bed for the first time ever yesterday afternoon and was it ever comfortable!! I guess a $3K bed should be pretty comfy. I have no idea what my "number" would be, but I know 45 felt pretty darned good. I like a soft bed. Andy set it up in the spare bedroom (the one that used to be the den) and I'll probably sleep on it when my back acts up. He'll use it occasionally too. We both have backs that flare up once in a while. Heck, I may just sleep on it for the helluvit sometimes!! The problem is, Andy and I can't both sleep on it at once because even tho it's a Queen-sized bed, it's the kind that's for only one person...one air pillow inside and one control. So we'll take turns. Now I have to figure out how to learn what my number is...I just may have to go to the store and try one out there to get my official number.

Electric Avenue

We were doing laundry yesterday afternoon after I got home from my busy sister day. For some reason the power went off in the socket the washer and dryer were plugged in to. It didn't trip the breaker switch, it just wouldn't work. We had to get a heavy duty extension cord and plug it in to a socket in the other room to finish doing laundry. Thank God, Andy thought of the fact that the freezer is spun off from that socket too. We could have lost a lot of frozen meat if he hadn't thought of that because the freezer was indeed off. When we got done with laundry, we plugged the freezer in with that cord. Anyway, I put a call in to an electrician and he's supposed to call us Monday. I wonder how much that's going to cost?? My brother-in-law is an electrician but he just finished his 6-month round of chemo on Thursday and isn't feeling up to doing any extra work yet, I don't think. I don't even want to ask him, he's such a nice guy I'm afraid he would feel obligated. I will just deal with another electrician until he's better...then I have a lot of work for him to do!
