So…I cut my hair off yesterday. Not all of it. Just my usual Spring shearing…but it’s December, right? Yeah, it is, and my hair was frazzled and crackly. So I had to do it. And I don’t have the means at this moment to do the real deal. The hair is gonna be half brown by the next time I plan on cutting it or doing anything, Good thing it’s winter and all about hiding under hats. But yeah…it took several hours of nitpicking and cutting this hair and that to get my little fringe bob thing with bangs. It’s best to have rockstar hair come spring, and I cut some layers in too to prevent it from being triangle-and-uglier-than-anything head I would really like to avoid having.
I think I am going to apply to be a thoracic surgery administrative assistant, office greeter and yes, the girl behind the desk. At my hospital. How much would they like to have someone who’s been through it, and THERE no less, to advocate for them and for the whole scary process at all? I assume that’s a selling point, anyways. I am also thinking I have some great friends at the hospital who do seem to care about keeping me alive.
Anyways, enough of that. If any of this is being followed from the single stack of cards I left in the coffee shop or from my own page elsewhere, well, no worries. I know this needs fixing. And it will be pretty soon. For a girl’s first venture doing anything like this, it’s not all bad. And all I can ask is to keep improving on improving.
I will be in town until Monday to wrangle to settle one thing to keep the cash flowing…right now I am just sitting in the studio awaiting the time to go uptown to the hospital to get my medicine, something lacking with no health insurance usually.
But it’s cold and it’s December and I’m alive and I’m making plans and things are happening so what more could a girl ask for? Not a heck of a lot, I can tell you that.

I cut mine off too. I used Jennifer Aniston’s pic from 2001 as inspiration. Shortest it’s ever been. I feel bald right now, but I do like it better. What’s the point of long hair if it’s always in a toddler-friendly bun? No point whatsoever unless you like being called Ma’am. Which, incidentally, I do not. Hearing that word, directed at me, makes me stabby.
Good luck with the job- sounds like a fab idea.

I went looking and saw no update for this look, my girl? Why not?
My problem is I am a perfectionist who needs to see a real stylist. Not til next weekend, however. The job might work out though under a different capacity or maybe elsewhere. I did see some hot young admins while I was wandering through, however. And then there is the prospect of some of the other hot doctors to drool at. At least my environment will be a moving menagerie or sorts, better to inspire the art. I was wandering out in Jersey City last night and realized all the boys had ladies, would be too shy to talk to me, or seemed uninteresting, which makes living here that much less appealing. I might be considered a sellout to say this, but I am considering moving to the upper east side. I’d still keep my studio here, but I really need a change of scenery. I made my impact the best I knew how but now I exist as a kind of weird hermit. I go out infrequently, see people very very rarely, and have been stuck in my plans for this business. Right now I realize it might be alarming, but once I open it up to people signing up for their own accounts, or getting a story board about heart surgery chronicles (hello, craigslist?!?), then I cam get some real deal hits. I need to get them screen printed on pop colors, bright red and yellow and even some other more faded ones with more faded designs. The literal translations of these might not make people feel generally comfortable but when you look at the threads that connect every one of us, our blood in our bodies, the trail of water across land, the veins in leaves, the silouhettes stretching up these days of naked trees, everyone can see this pattern is really in everyone. And once I get them into trees and leaves and water patterns, I think they’ll be easier to digest. And the funding will still go to that heart surgery scholarship. I am thinking 10%.
Gotta see you soon….I need to come out. I have a car now but my gas cash is limited. Didn’t do the market yesterday but visited the hospital and got that lead…so not all is lost!
