Instead of sensibly resting/napping after ES-ing, we headed right out again, safari-ing we man.

We went to a Sears with only Many (2x2x2+1) days of life left, search deals we man.

 

First, we parked at the very farthest end of the mall from this place, hoof it we man.

Next, our hoofing was through mobs of fat people walking abreast, meandering teenyboppers, et al., egad man.

 

Store, like mall, was mobbed, heavy traffic man.

Much clothing, but nothing in our size, sigh man.

Got only a couple of items for Mini-B. = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2), good deal man.

Then had to fight way back all across mall, won't they quit meandering and walk man.

 

Returned casa-ward more exhausted than ever, out-wiped we man.

They are reducing hours at some of the border crossings around here and there are some pissed off Manitobans.  TIL that there is a sizable number of border Canadians who were born in Minnesota hospitals and many of them work in the US, but live in Canada.   Oddly, or not so oddly, it doesn't go the other way around.

Took black dye out of hair, but did so with a super low power bleach.

 

Put blue base coat in before what was going to be purple.

 

Washed hair.  

 

Hair is not blue.

 

Hair is teal.

 

I don't hate it and the Dane likes it.

 

Not sure that I can layer purple on it now anyway.

 

Dear ranters, what is classier, purple or teal?

I might stick with it.

 

In any case, never going back to black.  I look about 10 years younger just from yesterday to today.  Mind you, not 10 years younger than my age, but not older than I actually am.

Black does tend to age you when you don't want it too.
