Hair that doesn't do what you want it to and numbies to beat the band

This evening’s topic is something I do think that many women can relate to, hair coloring. You see, I have been a natural blonde since the age of fifteen on and off for all these years, (LOL). And I wonder if anyone else out there has had this problem after coloring your hair for several years, whether to cover the gray or just those unsightly dark roots, did you know it somehow eventually stops working?

Now years ago this happened and I was told that is because your hair can only absorb so much color and then it no longer can at some point, a call to Clairol at that time confirmed this anomaly. The only cure for this unique situation is to commit to a reverse frosting, which allows your hair to recover from this over absorbency. For those of you novices who do not know what reverse frosting is, well, it is matching your dark roots with streaking of the same color as those roots and leaving just enough of the natural blonde to have you look like your hair had been frosted, but since you are adding darker color instead of lighter color that is why it is called reversed frosting, got it?

Being a frugal gal with a tight budget and no longer a member of the working group of people, I have been doing my own hair for many years. To be honest, though in the recent months it has become quite difficult with my limited ability to move my shoulders in that position, but even when you are not well looking good is supposed to make you feel good, and so every, four to six weeks I have been trying to make myself look presentable.

But now I will have to bite the bullet and spend the bigger bucks to have a professional take a hand at it for a one time only, hopefully a deal (I have a coupon), you see when you have the reversal done the trick is to let you natural hair color grow out to regain the health of your hair so if you so desire at a later date to torture it again with natural blonde then it will be willing to co-operate and fall in line. This may take me on a wild interesting journey since my ‘natural color’ has not been seen in so many years I can’t remember when that was. My hair color could be brown, tawny red, blonde, or gray; who knows, it should be an interesting ride into that arena. Any-who wish me, luck!

Now to the numbies that usually attack when I stand too long, a half hour is too long for me, well, now they are hitting and bilaterally while sitting too. I can’t be exacerbating again this is way too soon! I did take my Baclofen, which I have been avoiding taking at all, didn’t want to depend on it, and it can create you to become symptomatic if taken too frequently so the labeling says. And so I have not taken it in more than a week. My directions say I can take it as often as three times a day. I know it is for spasms and my MS hugs, but I’m not sure if it helps the numbies. I will have to check with the doctor’s office on that or maybe the pharmacist.

Sorry this was all about me tonight, but sometimes I must stick to my self imposed title, ‘A day in the life’.

Good night to all and to all count those blessings and I will too!
