Hrmf

Got to bed later than I’d planned last night. Was woken up around 4:30am with a headache (and Robin, oddly enough, already snuggled up in bed). Spent a good hour in the bath, trying to get rid of the brain-buster, then back to bed for another hour and a half.

Definitely going to bed early tonight. Definitely. If I wasn’t short on sick time due to things like, oh, dental appointments…I’d be calling it in. But other than a bit of tiredness, I’m actually not doing too badly.

Did a little organizing in the bathroom last night. Instead of all my hair stuff being crammed into a small 3-partitioned box that I’ll never find things in, I found 3 more decorative boxes and sorted things. Now the clips and barettes and different types of hair ties won’t get mixed. It also means that I found my other hair widgets, some of which I’ve never used. It has occurred to me that I have some very pretty, long, hair…and I generally do whatever I can to forget about it. Tsk tsk and shame.
Chelsea has recommended that I try using Henna on my hair instead of colouring with dye. I may have to give it a try. The Indian Market on the corner apparently carries body-art quality henna, so this could be fun. Something to do on a Saturday afternoon, at least. I also found a community for folks with long hair. I’m not into the whole “lifestyle” of hair growth (at least, not to the point of measuring my hair and setting goals for length), but there are some pretty good tips for how to take care of long hair, and what to do with it once it’s a certain length.

Now to try and figure out what I’m going to do with my still half-damp braids that got dunked in the tub this morning when I was trying to work the knots out of my neck….hrm…

The Vader Sessions

Okay. This is just WAY too amusing for words..

Crosspost?

So…inkyblack.net has been shuffled around. Gone is the old portal. I was getting a little twitchy about unsecured pictures of my family being readily available on das itnarweb. Colin has been kind enough to install Wordpress, SMF and Gallery2. I just have to get everything set up.

There’s apparently an option to crosspost to Livejournal. I have downloaded, installed, and enabled the plugin. Let’s see if it works.

Likely, the bulk of what’s written here will be knitting & creative stuff. Or I’ll just crosspost most of this to my LJ. Things that I figure need extra security will go LJ-only.

So…yeah. Back to playing with all the stuff and seeing how well it works. Yay Colin!

…now I have to try and make sure that my domain gets reregistered…procrastination, thy name is surely “Maire”
