For many, many years I didn't get a permenant because I don't like fussing with hair....most years I had very short hair couldn't curl it. Well I thought maybe I would let it grow out and being one of those people that has straight thin hair, yup, it needed help.


But when I get a perm from the lady here in town that is a good friend of mine. It is kinky the only way I can not scare myself is to wash it and pick it. I dare not comb or brush it.....then after it gets a little longer ( it has been over 2 months now) I have to use the cruling iron....Shudder...I hate, hate doing that.


So today I looked in the mirror and said there is no way I can put this off. So I got out the evil little hot thing and stood there and did  it.....Now I not only hate it but standing for that long is really painful......


2 years ago I don't know if I told you I had a perm that I got from a gal that worked in Walmart, in Yankton. It was the best perm I had ever had in my WHOLE life. It was soft curls not in kink to be seen...I could get up in the morning run a comb or brush through it and go..


Well now I had to have a perm so I am now at the point of having what looks like gone with the fuzz. I just curled it and it looks ok.....but I don't want to have to do this every day...


The lady that did it when I liked it went to work at a quick stop because she wasn't getting enough work in Walmart to make enough money to live on.. What a waste.


Anyway.


Del had a cataract removed yesterday and we have to go to O'Neill to see the regular eye doc for a check up. But the drops........3 drops 3 times a day. 2 of them are untill the bottles are gone. So you would think how long can that bottle last? It has less than a thimble full in it,,,,,a lot less....but it lasts a looooong time......lol


If he can see a bit better it will be worth it.


While we were getting the eye worked on yesterday in Norfolk it got up to about 40º and now I can see some dry grass in a couple spots in my yard.......YIPPY I am so glad because there is snow just about into Cherry County and should be here later this afternoon.....lol.....


Will it never end?
