well as i mentioned before, i was out of town last week visiting my very ill relative. she died on sun. so i will be out of town again later this week for the funeral. while it was not unexpected, it is still very hard and hasn't entirely sunk in for me. i am very grateful though that i got to say goodbye to her, and know now that she is no longer in pain from the very aggressive cancer.

just wanted to check in at the boards and let my friends here know why i'm off line a lot and distracted.

well we are back from traveling to the funeral and i'm tired but happy we went. it was good to see my family even in a hard situation like this one. it was good to share good memories about her and talk about her being in heaven now and no longer in pain. thanks for all the good wishes.
then on top of that, i'm still looking for the right full time job for me, and since it's in education- i'm getting nervous as we near the beginning of the school year. i just want to know where i'll be so i can get focused before students come back. sigh.

hair:

i'm planning to take a nice soak tonight and maybe do an oil treatment or something. have been having an itchy scalp lately and even wondered if i have dandruff, although don't seem to have too many flakes just the itch. i of course (being a teacher) wondered if i'd picked up lice from a student since that's always a concern in elementary schools, but have had that checked and thankfully-that's not the problem. in addition, hubby thought i was crazy for thinking i had it and he joked that i was "bug-phobic" since when we went camping i thought i had a tick on my leg and didn't. hee, hee. wow, having lice would have freaked me out on top of the other actual important stuff going on in my life. i imagine its a huge pain to get rid of lice if you have them. so no lice and probably not even dandruff. just an itchy scalp for now which could even be related to my skin's sensitivity to many things. any suggestions for soothing my scalp? i'm not using anything with cones in it now, and pretty much am all natural with my routine.

i've been wearing it pinned up when i go out, so to balance out any stress on my hair from bobby pins, i've been wearing it down around the house and trying to be gentle when it's wet. i don't use rubber bands, just bobby pins so i think it's ok since i don't pull it tight. as it grows out it will be more of a relaxed updo with fewer pins to hold up the tiny pieces.

well this morning, if i can get hubby to wake up and get moving Wink

we are going to go down to a bike coop and see if i can find a good used bike to ride around the city. i will probably be working too far away to bike to that, but would like to get to ride around for my errands and for fun. still i don't want to spend much-which is why i'm looking at used bikes. also, i'm so short that i need the smallest women's bike frame they sell, without getting into the children's bikes. hee hee. wish me luck. shopping for a bike will be a nice change from all the stress of the past few weeks. then tonight we are having some friends over for hotdogs (veggie ones) and board games. yeah!

Just a comment on the whole lice ordeal....

It's definately a pain to get rid of. Nothing to be freaked out about though, it won't kill you. Glad you don't have it though!

Just thought I'd comment.... because I work in a daycare Roll Eyes

haha I see it there alot.

I never had lice as a kid, not even once, my whole way through school... until I started working at a daycare. So many children want to hug on you and sit in your lap.. It's easily spread that way. The good news is, I don't think it survives more than 24 hours off of the human hair. Just thought I would throw that in... You did say you are going into the teaching profession right? So, if your class happens to have a case of it, over a weekend when you come back to your classroom, you should have nothing to worry about. This is just assuming that you may oneday get it in your class. haha But lets hope not

Try this on your scalp. I really like it. Also, sometimes when my scalp itches it means that I need to use real shampoo (most of the time I use devacurl No Poo) and then it quits itching. Good Luck!!!
