So as you may remember, I wanted to get purple streaks in my hair. Well, I can't afford the style I posted the other day. I really shouldn't be spending $55 on the coloring of my hair right now, so I won't. I'll be a responsible adult even though I really, really wanna do it for my birthday. I've always wanted to add funky colors to my hair (I did it in high school all the time), but with holding down a real job for most of my adult life, I couldn't. Now I can and I can't afford it, go figure.

It's because I know I need to take care of my pets first. They need flea medicine. Plus I need a bra. And a new battery for my laptop (I'm currently using it without a battery which means it stays plugged in all the time). And I need a new charger for my laptop because it's frayed and doesn't always connect, which considering I don't have a battery is bad news.

I've considered doing something fun with my hair however, something I can do at home. I've colored my own hair most of my adult life, and my friends and family have always come to me to color their hair (my mom only trusts me. Whenever I visit, that's usually something I do for her).

I've considered buying a bleaching kit, some fools or a cap, and bleaching my own highlights while buying some manic panic for the fun colors. They'd be peek a boo highlights, so not the top layer of my hair. I've watched tutorials and it seems pretty easy. Kevin has offered to help.

But I dunno... Mainly I don't know if I should spend even that amount of money (about $20) when I need the things mentioned above. Probably shouldn't.

I'm getting my hair cut on Saturday, so if I do it, I want to do it before then to cut the damaged ends. I'm going pretty short with that hair by the way.

Decisions, decisions...

    I appreciate the point of view going from not wanting to talk about the cancer to really having no choice — looking in from the outside, you never really know what someone else is going through. It's…

    It certainly adds to an already miserable situation when you have to get up at a time where you are not feeling it! *hugs*
