I've had a pretty bad time of it recently. Bad enough to consider going back to a counselor for a while. The new job is not working out, I have hardly ridden at ALL in the past few months, and I've really been unhappy about how I look and feel.
Time for a change, and a change was made.

You can see how tired I've been recently in that second picture - believe me, in the first one I have the same bags under my eyes, I just hid behind the camera.
One of the hairdressers knows a woman who makes wigs - so the hair is going to her. I'm happy with how it looks and feels. I figure if I want long hair again, I just have to wait a couple of years, and it'll be back at BSL. I really got the luck of the draw there.
My resume is out and about, my husband thinks a good portion of this (latest) depression stems from the crappy job, and I think he might be right. I feel guilty about not riding, but it's just been about impossible for me to get out to the barn. Not due to time, but due to motivation. *sigh*
I'll still swing by on occasion - make sure everyone else is doing well and not following my example!
