Speaking of Normal ...

I have exciting news about my "new normal."

Collegen peptides are doing their thing.  (Okay - 'exciting' is a big word, but I'm really HAPPY.)  My nails are ABSOLUTELY stronger.  I have a weak spot on my thumb nail (it grows with a partial split in it).  No nail tech, doctor, etc knows what it is - it's been damaged for about 10 years maybe - regularly, painfully breaks very low at that spot.  No split. BAM.  My nails are long and hard even with no polish on for a couple of days.  BAM again!

I'm finally getting my nails done today.  I won't wait that long again.

Strange hair day yesterday.  The new place is in the middle of a store.  It's weird, unimpressive (you sit in plastic chairs) and a long drive (and actually costs more).  I don't want to stay with her (maybe just one more appointment to take me through the holidays).  Why one more - because she won't share her color formula with her old shop.  I've gone to her faithfully for 3 years - she moved, not me.  She told me they'd have to figure it out themselves.  Ouch.  Pissed me off.   I don't need fancy, but at that price, I need more than the experience I had (including a long, traffic ridden drive).  (On a good note, she was able to work around my feather lol.)

So my "beauty" team has changed.  New hair (soon), new nail salon (can't beat the price and they do an excellent job), new eyebrow tech (threading is better).  Change is in the air.

I have some errands today, but nothing else planned.  I need to be careful (no repeat of last night).  I don't mind a quiet day.  I'm still crampy and feeling like staying in and relaxing.  Tomorrow is a run day, hike, football game - busy and fun.  Relaxing sounds good today.

Off to walk the dog before my nail appointment.  Later gators.
