coming and going


Tuesday, July 25, 2006 Houston, we have a problem

i bought a different shampoo and i hate it. it weighs my hair down. makes it look dirty. like on Seinfeld when they put the low pressure showerheads in and everyone's hair was flat. it was Neutrogena, i thought it would be good. there's six bucks down the drain. literally. i get my check on monday. one of the first things i'll get is some decent shampoo. most shampoos make my hair look like someone rubbed a balloon on it. at least it's just long enough to put in a ponytail. the place i usually go to get my hair cut costs 32dollars with the five dollar tip included. it's outrageous. there's a place here who gives haircuts for ten bucks. but i don't want to break in a new person. maybe next month. the last time i got a haircut for ten dollars, it was a disaster. but that was a different place. this place, regular nurse said her daughter went and got a "cute" haircut.
haven't heard from the barbarian. i wonder if we'll be going to the food pantry tomorrow. i have nothing in the house except a can of pineapple and some marshmallows that i got for the chocolate fountain. i ate one and it was so gross. all sugar. i used to love marshmallows when i was a kid. guess it's one of those things like...like something or other. perhaps like cotton candy. i've been craving that for months. i have a little more than a month before the fair comes to town. can get cotton candy there. that and fried dough. i love fried dough. most people go to the fair for the horse racing. i hate horse racing. dog racing. any of that. i like to see the animals. bunnies, chicks, etc. the last time i went they had a biting horse. why they chose a horse with that kind of personality to show, i don't know. they had a couple of signs that said not to try to pet him. then, why have him there? they had ducklings, they were so cute. not like the ducks in this neighborhood.:) they were running around stepping on each other. falling over each other. years ago, a friend of mine and her husband had to live with his parents while their house was being built and she had several bunnies. it got really cold out and the MIL bitch wouldn't let my friend bring the bunnies in the house and they froze to death. i felt so bad for her. and i doubt that her MIL felt the least bit guilty. she was a real bitch. i don't know how my friend lived with them. the MIL from hell. when my mother had an a/c before h and i did, i used to take the mice over there when it got really hot. h even rigged them up a fan from a computer to cool them off. ii miss having mice. but i don't trust anyone to determine the sex of a mouse. last time i was supposed to have two females, yeah right. eleven baby mice later... and i never want to have male mice again. their urine smells to high heaven. like cat spray, only worse. much worse. if you get it on your clothes, the smell never goes away. instant rag. smelly rag. good for checking your oil.
it's starting to get hot in here. doh, maybe i should turn on the a/c.....in a little bit. okay, it's been a little bit, the a/c has been activated. much better.
the nurse this morning didn't have all of my pills. she's supposed to call to make arrangemnts to get them to me. i'm going to make them come to me. trying, like the rest of the country, to save gasoline. they get paid for mileage, i don't.
regular nurse told me this morning that i should get my blood drawn again on friday and to plan to start going on friday from now on. apparently there's a lot of paperwork and a lot of people involved in the process and it's not getting done in time. thus, no pills. they can't prescribe the pills every week until they get the results of my blood work. it's all a pain in the ass, i guess. so i get to be stabbed twice this week. yippee!
