Magic hands

I think I need Sharon's magic touch on my hair. I'm getting grayer and grayer by the day and without photoshop to paint away my gray hair all my pictures are looking like this one. I guess I could only allow pictures of me to be taken in low light and for many reasons that might not be such a bad idea.

Jimmy & I both woke up a little under the weather this morning. I stayed up late watching a movie called, "Dutch" which was a fun movie to watch with a nice ending. When I took my pills this morning they upset my stomach as they were dissolving. I'm drinking my first cup of coffee and beginning to feel a little better and Jimmy says he feels better now too.

It's foggy looking out with heavy drizzle and occasional light rain and we were supposed to have some nice riding weather this week and I was planning on going for longer rides now that Jimmy can eat out, but it's looking like it won't be this week. Yesterday was a nice day, but there was work to be done here so we didn't even think of riding. I guess we'll be cleaning house today as rainy days are house cleaning days at our house.

My Hair and my camera lens

Tonight I'm off to the sleep clinic again to spend another night there and this time I will be wearing that dreaded air-mask strapped to my face all night long. I'm not looking forward to this at all...I remember how it felt to just try it on the last time I was there. If you open your mouth to talk while you have it on, you sort of have to gasp for breath...it's like it kind of takes your breath away for an instant, so you shut your mouth up really quick. I sometimes talk in my sleep and I hope I don't do that tonight or I'll wake up really scared and disoriented for just a moment while gasping for air. The respiratory therapist said you can jerk the mask off really quick without taking the time to unfasten it, but it hurts your ears as it tears them off your head.

The reason I took my picture again...and doesn't the mirror look really clean this time...Jimmy also cleaned all the mirrors in the house. Getting back to why I snapped the pictures was because I wanted to show you my new haircut. The kids like my hair longer, but I keep it short because it's just so much easier to take care of and Jimmy says I don't have to primp as much each time we stop on the bike. I used to do a lot of complaining about my helmet-hair and the tangles I would get...Now I get neither....I don't wear a helmet and my hair's too short to tangle.

Well, getting back to my haircut. I asked my daughter Sharon to give me a good haircut, you know to make me look better, but it seems she wasn't paying close attention as she was cutting my hair. She spent a lot of time talking to Jimmy as she cut and I think she cut the wrong hairs off. Look at the picture below and you can clearly see, you may have to enlarge it....
LOOK...she left the gray! If she is going to satisfy her customers, she needs to cut the gray hair out and leave the darker shades alone. In the first picture, when I stood farther back from the mirror it just looked like my hair was turning a lighter color around the sides, close to my ears, but after close inspection it looks like I'll have to pay Sharon another visit to the salon...And this time I'm sure she'll suggest that maybe I start coloring my hair. The hairs she left aren't really a gray color, but white, so I may just wait a little longer just to see what happens....
OR maybe I'll just call her tomorrow to see when she can fit me in, since there is a High School Reunion get-together early in May.

Are you wondering about the camera lens or did you already forget about my post title? It's nothing major. While taking these pictures in front of a clean mirror, on some of the pictures I could see that the lens was full of dust specks...and I mean A LOT of dust specks. So mirrors are good for something beside snapping pictures in front of and admiring my new haircut.
