Hope you are feeling better.  It's too bad that you missed the last day of Faire, but congrats on the aria.  You are braver than I am.

Curlgirl & melusine, thanks.  I am doing better over all, although I woke up with another sinus headache yesterday-the kind that comes and goes depending on what movement you make.  It went away mid afternoon.

I think I may just be a Saturday Faire person if I can't figure out a real effective cure for the sun sickness.  And thank you, I've been out of performing for far too long and there aren't really many opportunities to publicly sing classical or operatic music without being in an Opera.  As for being brave...thanks, but I think its more of a drive that if I don't do it I feel miserable and depressed.  You'll soon be looking for opportunities to sing in public, I predict, the more lessons you take and the more you sing you're gonna want it.

Hair:  I'm stretching out my washings to once a week again, just 'cause I'm feeling lazy.  Maybe its backlash from the Festival.  At least until my next trim, the wind was pretty hard on my hair all those weekends.

Body: Yesterday I went to pilates class.  Yay, me!  Today I have a neuro-muscular therapy session.  Its painful, but is helping.  I'm experimenting with the blood type diet, and it seems to be beneficial-if only I can keep it up!  I'm committed for a month, then I'll see where I am with it.

My voice teacher wants me to sing in a recital on 4/28.  She said I have progressed really well.  I don't think I will do it, because the 28th is a Wed, and the recital is at 11am.  I teach a nite class on Mon, and am on campus from 7:30am to 10pm on Tues.  Chorale practice is on Tues nite, and we are doing Carmen, the Gondoliers and a couple of pieces that are really heavy on the soprano parts, with the end result being that my voice and I are really tired on Wed.  Maybe next semester.

It's great that you're able to prioritize your body and are doing these things for yourself.

Ok, melusine, I'm saying that you can do it for the experience of it-voice quality be dammed.  The singing isn't the issue (I know, no one wants to sound bad) its the getting up there with yourself.  Everyone who sings can have a rough voice day-and you don't have to wear yourself out at rehearsal on Tuesday night.  You could even tell the teacher you have a sore throat so won't be singing full out.  Then, after the recital and all of the "you were greats" you can take a nap.  OK, I'm finished.

Thank you, Drear, the bodywork is a necessary evil if I want to be able to walk and move and have a life!  The greatest thing I've done for myself is not to have kids, or else I wouldn't be able to work on my healing.  The accident makes it dangerous for me to do so anyway, and I'm really lucky to have the abundance to continue with my care.  My accident happened 20 years ago.  That's a lot of therapies!

Oh, woe is me!  I ate some bread for dinner and now I'm miserable.

I used some amla oil a couple of nights ago, and think my scalp is calmed by it.  I haven't washed my hair for more than a week and I'm not itching so badly I want to scratch my head off!

Tomorrow we're having Dim Sum for breakfast and mini acupuncture treatments.  Fun!

Well...we skipped Dim Sum today 'cause I slept in so we might go tomorrow.  Leaving for acupuncture in 30 minutes.

I forgot to bring my Kinky Curly Curling Custard into our bathroom from the guest bath so I had to scrounge for styling products.  I used a little B'leave In from Deva Curl then some Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper followed by AG Re:coil.  The last two are a very popular combo on curlmart.com.  I got them awhile ago and I'm sure there was something about them I didn't like 'cause I didn't use them up before.  Oh well, could be a hair disaster day but then I'll just wet it tomorrow and restyle.

The acupuncture was awesome!!  Hubby got some, too.   Grin

Now I remember why I didn't use all of the Curl Keeper and the Re:coil-they're too heavy for my hair.  Meh, good enough in a pinch I guess and I definitely had zero frizz today.  Maybe should save it for humid days-not that we have many of them here.  My waves are really dragged out so there's less shrinkage than when I use other products like gel or curling custard (which is gel like).  My hair was quite tangled after I washed it-that upcoming trim will help a lot!

Making preparations to go visit my mom in Michigan at the end of the month. 

I just brushed out my hair instead of wetting it again, as I had a neuromuscular session at 10am.  I am so not a morning person-I was on the wrong end of town when I realized where I needed to be.  I was a little late to my appointment.   Shocked

I'm at another awkward stage of growth-I keep fighting with the front of my hair to style it so it doesn't look , well, dorky.  I've been wearing it down more at this length, so I mostly just want to pull the front and bangs back with a clip or pins.  I don't like how I look in headbands, and the ends of my bangs have to be pinned down if I wear a headband w/a ponytail.  My bangs are a bit more than an inch below my chin.  I hope they can be blended into the face framing layers that I have-perhaps that'll solve my problem.

I don't know how I could miss your new profile pic.  I'm not of an observant nature. Embarrassed  Your hair looks beautiful.

Your mother's very fortunate to have a daughter like you.

Thanks, Drear.  I just changed it a couple of days ago.  Its the first hair pic of 2010, taken in late January.

I heard from my sister today that my mom was not doing well, but apparently she woke up today and chipper as normal.  The chemo side effects of extreme fatigue seem to be accumulating, as they are wont to do.

I'll be going to Michigan 5/1-5/12.  Just a head's up, y'all.

Well, I like ponytails, I just can't stand to wear my hair like that for very many hours.

Hey, Drear!  I have the most excellent ponytail holders that allow my hair to be held snug w/o pulling.  I get them here:

Scroll down to the hair ties.  Nothing works in my thick hair like these!!!

I just realized today that I've been wearing my hair down a lot.  I guess I'll wear more buns and updo's as it gets warmer.

I finished my monologue class today.  I really enjoyed it and plan on taking the improv class next!
