Hit Aldi & a produce store this morning. Aldi eggs were $3.39 a dozen. o_O Another customer and I just gaped at the sign. A relatively quick Costco run tomorrow to grab the rest of what I need, eggs included. Planning to go out to lunch with DH while the dog is at the groomer.

@hollydolly I say throw caution to the winds and get a new do tomorrow. Something entirely different than what you (and others might) expect. Maybe super short? And how about some color? Take a walk on the wild side. Why not? Hair grows. If you don't like it after you get used to it, it'll grow out and you can go back to the same old Hollydolly. Keep in mind that YOLO!

When you're done, post a pic. We all wanna see the new Hollydolly.

I'm having three colours inserted tomorrow... not even sure what I'll have yet, but 3 shades of something .. like I say I might have it cut short..I did that about 5 years ago around my 60th birthday. I don't actually suit short hair, so that's what always stops me, (because if I did I would have it short all the time ), but then I get fed up with it being long, and having it tied up all the time... so like I say , the colour is a definite tomoz, the cut is a definite, but how much off who knows till I get there...but it won't really be a 'new holly'.. because I have my hair done every couple of months and I do usually post a pic...

here's a few recent cuts... no colour..

@hollydolly Go for definitely different, whatever it happens to be. Ask the stylist for a recommendation. Maybe they have an online program that takes a picture of you and then "tries on" haircuts and styles.

I wanted my hair spiked a few years back, but unfortunately for me, my hair only wanted to lie down against my scalp and made my head look like a thatched roof, dammit. It grew back. It's still short and has been since I was 14. I was much younger when I was 14. Much, much younger.
 

@jujube
My sincere sympathies go out to you for this heart breaking loss of your sister and best friend.
I know your heart feels empty now, but will fill up with all the loving memories you both shared for almost a life time.
She rests in peace now.
God has another “ ANGEL “.
Take care.

Today I sold my first thing on Facebook Marketplace, it was very exciting, but I wasn't totally independent - my daughter didn't want me meeting a stranger even in a grocery parking lot, and also I needed her to help find my venmo name. The buyer said it was his first time buying anything off Marketplace too.
I haven't made much progress clearing out the house, but I did have a practice staging in the back seat of my car of the cat carrier, box-about-size-of-litterbox, scratching 'lounge', and couple containers. My car is going to be more full than I would like, but at least it looks like the giant cat scratcher lounger will fit. I hope my cat appreciates what I do for him! ha ha

I'm continuing the apparently endless task of getting all the family photo albums up in the cloud. I found this picture amusing because my great-uncle dressed up for some family thing by wearing a white shirt and tie under his overalls!

Much as that all sounds like a great idea in theory. In practice, I have to be in and out of the salon in record time because my lower back won't allow me to sit for hours in the chair while youngsters decide what looks better on this old woman, I'd probably end up with a blue rinse if I asked them for recomendations ... so I won't be having anything too drastic that takes a long time

Wait! Mine's blue, and I do it myself at home. It doesn't take hours. It's called a color "masque' and washes out after being shampooed a couple of times. It's not bright blue, just a medium sort of blue.

C'mon. Live a little. Tell 'em at the outset that you can't sit for more than X amount of time because you have back problems and ask 'em what they can do in that time frame.

Awww...please? Pretty please?
 
Wut wo... @hollydolly ! I'm an old people! Gotta change my color so that nobody will know I'm old:rolleyes:What's a good color for disguise? When it was colored the first time, it was supposed to be magenta but turned blue instead. We think it's because it's white and, therefore, has no pigment so there's no telling what color it will be no matter what the masque says it will be. I tried mixing a couple of colors to get magenta and it turned pink, but that was pretty awful. >le sigh<

I've given some thought to letting it all wash out and being a regular old white-haired lady. (I use the term "lady" loosely...don't think anybody would call me a lady.)
 
The elevator in my building is being worked on so was closed yesterday. First the day before we had a power outage and could not use it and now it is being worked on. I hope it gets fixed early today because I have a water delivery coming and I usually go downstairs to the ramp and let the delivery man in. I cannot go downstairs at all now. I really need the water today. Kind of stressed over that.

If it is still not fixed by tomorrow I have to cancel my hair appointment. I canceled it last time so this time I really need it. I cannot do the stairs at all so there are a few of us stuck in our apartments till the elevator is working. Other than worrying, no plans as of yet.
 
Glorious day today.. I could see the outside from where I was sitting for 3 hours..in the salon..

Too late to go anywhere now, because the rush hour traffic has started, so much as it's a beautifully sunny warm day I've come home ( 3.30)

.. @Georgiagranny is going to be very disappointed....but I have got 3 colours in it. .. and it has been cut.. but I played safe.... and didn't do anything drastic. I actually hadn't realised it was as long as this..and this is with a good inch and a half taken off

The stylist took the rear pic on my phone and you'll have to excuse the background, I nipped into the loo, and took a pic in the mirror of the front ...sorry for the serious face...lol

Our 15 year old dog is very hard of hearing and began suffering from extreme separation anxiety after our other dog died, so we virtually never leave him alone anymore. If DH & I have an event or appointment for both of us, we leave him with our daughter's family and reciprocate with their dog when they vacation. He's very little and quite portable, but there are places where pets aren't welcome. Nor should they be.

Keeping him happy and comfortable is the price we pay for his love, and we do so without resentment.

Today the little guy goes to the groomer so DH & I will have several hours off. We'll go to Costco and possibly Lowe's, drop our purchases at home, then head out for a nice lunch. (The lunch plans were inspired by @Ruthanne's post above: #11263.)
