Thanks Bikerbraid Smiley  Are those your hair sticks in your new avatar? Shocked

I typically do a simple doughnut bun but since getting my new sticks is such a special occasion (to me Smiley) I've decided to experiment and attempt to be a bit creative.  Sorry about the quality, I can't seem to take a good picture these days.  

The last pic was my first go at the midevial bun. I didn't do such a good job, so I decided to cheat and make it look better by bobby pinning a brooch to the center. The last pic also provides a clearer view of the sticks.

Beautiful sticks!  They are perfect in your hair.  Cheesy

I love your different hair styles with them - you do a very nice job with your hair and the sticks.

[and yes, those are some of my hairsticks - that picture was taken a year ago.... I hope to update it soon.]

I'd been feeling under the weather for a few days now, just waiting on the cold that I was positive was sure to come.  I'd been suffering from an upset stomach, a scratchy throat and fatigue.  It wasn't until yesterday when my cold still hadn't come on that I realized that it was acid reflux.  I'd been on medication for this since the spring however, I ran out last week.  I decided that I didn't need to renew my prescription because I had been feeling fine, not figuring that the only reason I was fine was because of the medication.  It had been so long since I suffered from the symptoms that this time, I couldn't identify them.  So, I got my prescription refilled and I feel a lot better.  So much so, that this morning I decided to clean my entire apartment and mop all of my floors.   Now my only ailment is a headache from the fumes. Undecided

My hair has been doing fine.  Other than oiling, I've been keeping it in a bun and just letting it grow. Keeping my ends tucked away is working out to be really good for my hair.  It still looks fresh from the trim and my ends aren't the least bit dry or brittle.Smiley

My second Caruso hair setter (this year, I've been purchasing Caruso hair setters since I was 17) conked out on me after only a few months so I decided to purchase a different brand.  I bought Revlon ionic steam rollers but I don't like them.  The rollers seem to get unnecessarily hotter than the Caruso rollers and the rollers are smaller so I can't get all of my hair wrapped around them let alone clamping it.  I think it may be cheaper to sell them on eBay than to return them.  Hopefully, I'm not stuck with them long and can use the money to buy a new Caruso hair setter.  Even if they don't last long, at least they are effective when they do work.

What are you taking for your acid reflux?  My husband was originally prescribed Prilosec which is now an OTC.  He takes it every day, and will remain on it forever due to a medical procedure that was performed on him that has left him without the muscle that closes off the esophogus (and keeps the acids in the stomach).

Bikerbraid I take 40mg of Protonix once a day.  I've taken Prilosec OTC as well but only for a day or two.  I've never taken it long enough to know if it's as effective for me or not.  How does Prilosec work for your husband?  I have the feeling that I'll be on medication for acid reflux forever as well, although I don't know the cause of mine.  I like spicy foods which I still eat and as long as I take my medication, the foods don't bother me.  Is your husband on a special diet?

Today I clarified.  It's been 3 weeks and 5 days since my last wash.Shocked  It was easy to do because I kept my hair up pretty much the whole time so it was easy to ignore. 

Anyway, I am now officially cone free.  I'm going to try it out for awhile to see if it works for me.  I attempted it before, but I took it for granted that my leave in conditioner was cone free but it wasn't.  So, I CCC to remove any left over cones, detangled with my creative 3W comb, applied coconut oil and did my hair in 2 plaits to air dry.

Hubby has been on the Prilosec for several years now and it works great for him.  You might ask your doctor if Prilosec would be an option for you.  My hubby eats whatever he wants - spicy foods are a favorite.  But even on a bland diet he would have trouble without the medication.  The sphinctur muscle at the end of the esophogus is what keeps the acids in the stomach - hubby's did not open all the way before and food would not be able to pass thru to the stomach (a very uncomfortable situation).  So the doctor stretched it open, but that lets the acid come up into the esophogus, so he takes the medication.  It's a case of it being easier to treat the heartburn than the contractured muscle, so they intentionally damaged the muscle.

BB- I may ask my doctors about the Prilosec OTC in the future but the Protonix is working well for me so I'll stick with that for now.

Hair - I haven't had much to report lately hairwise.  I've decided that I really am going to wait longer in between measurments.  Instead of every month, I'll measure every other month or every 3 months.  I think doing this will help me obsess a little less about my hair and reaching my goal.

I've been very protective of my ends keeping my hair up pretty much all of the time.  I did purchase some new black satin scrunchies and a wide tooth horn comb which I now love.  At first I was dissapointed with the comb because it wasn't as smooth as I expected it to be, but once I filed it, it turned out to be very nice.

We decided not to go out for NYE, I really wasn't in the mood.  Instead we bought a bottle of white wine (I don't like champagne too much) a cake, and 2 numeric candles, a 0 and a 7.  At midnight we blew out the candles and had a toast.  It was a nice quiet evening, much better than going out.

Aww, your nye celebration sounds perfect.   Smiley  Hubby and I have never gone out on new year's eve; we usually don't have the money to blow, and all the idiots seem to come out in full force on that night!  (besides, it's WAY past our bedtime!!)
