Shave and a haircut–Eugene!
That’s the One-liner for Wednesday and “S” for A2Z challenge that easily answers ‘What Day Is It Anyway?’. Bam! Take that!
SO, here is what I promised yesterday. This long hair has very few good days as it gets in my eyes and tickles my ears like bugs crawling on me. Here is the fairly good before. See? Combed back with my head tilted back not a problem. But who can run around like this?
Yeah, I don’t know how to do a selfie. I do have eyes that open!
Series of excuses for everything in no particular order:
Over Seventy
Have to wear glasses (not good for self-haircuts)
fibro/arthritis that lowers my energy to do anything
It’s raining
Bad mirror system
Razor in razorcomb dull on the longer side and not quite sharp enough on shorter side
Found out that ambidextrous doesn’t play well with baseball, crochet, or haircutting. Especially with the CombPal Scissor Clipper.
Sorry. I figured folks who don’t care would have quit reading by now. Oh, one final excuse. Flowbee doesn’t work and company following COVID19 suggestions so I can’t get the replacement part I need which I applaud, yet it saddens me.
Since the above didn’t work for me and I tried the method that I used on my babies. Finger-comb cut which makes everything about an inch long (fatter fingers longer skinny fingers shorter)
But lack o’ glasses caused this sore bit that caused me to quit, for now, fingers didn’t need to be cut. Just saying.
The sides and top turned out okay. I can’t see the back and I’m not finished so nicer front view first:
Now the reason for Eugene in the one-liner. It seems I now have the Eugene Top-Hat from The Walking Dead.
But I’m not stuck with it. My wonderful spouse says he will do the back for me, YAY!
So how is your pandemic going?
P.S. Wordage count for CampNaNo is 27,509. But I am still working on it.
Since you asked, my pandemic is going sideways. I now sleep most of the day and stay up all night. Maybe once I decipher the reason(s) behind that, I will be able to reverse it and return to human from zombie mode. The little varmints upstairs are not being taught “good” neighbor manners and today are jumping off the furniture shaking the walls around me. Either that, or screaming and hollering with their tantrums. The parents may have thrown in their towels, though their shouting and hollering at said children is no better than the kids. Such vulgar words should not be flung at such young hearts by adults. I’m so sorry you cut your finger with your hair! If I had a comb like that, with a sharper blade, I’d probably just run the thing through ever square inch of my scalp and be done with it. Today is shower/hair wash day. I dread it, but love feeling clean. My hair is not such a bother freshly washed and seems to stay in the clip better. Last night I thought seriously about taking my dull scissors to my hair. Seeing your picture, I have changed my mind. It’s been too long since my last tetanus shot. Hugs and loves from this corner of the world. ❤
Oh how I don’t miss apartment living! Pandemically speaking, this wouldn’t be the case if you were able to get outside and not hear them. Pre-pandemic at least you could see the loved ones and distract yourself from rude neighbors. And that sleep pattern is doing you no favors. It is hard enough to sleep when everything is quiet but to have a zoo of yelling gorillas upstairs cannot help a nocturnal person get any sleep. Koalas need other koalas to share life with! Thanks for bringing up tetanus shots. It’s been ages. But they were clean scissors. And sharp, I have a sharpener. Just bad eyes that mess up coordination near the ears. I do hope you were able to take the shower. I know how painful all of that is for you. Love back to your corner of the world.
Love the whiteness! Love! I think it looks good, but yeah, I get the floppy bit in your eyes thing. Inconvenient. Sometimes if my hair doesn’t dry at the right angle, I get a floppy bit in my field of vision and it itches my forehead and gets stuck in my glasses… and …
Sorry your finger got bit x
Eugene, LOL — your husband will fix you right up, I just know it 🙂
Yeah, I decided that I’m done coloring and looking like a skunk within a week or so. I hope it will go all white soon. My mother’s mother had such beautiful white hair. I don’t seem to take after that side of the family, but I can hope. Yeah, that hair in the joint of the glasses was happening daily! Ugh! Thanks for your support. I hope you are feeling better and better!
Ouch! That finger looks sore, look after it 💜💜
You can hardly see it today. 💜💜
Glad to hear that 💜💜💜
