@Wildfire: My hair is longer than it has been in a very long time. Told the hairdresser she could cut it off, but she liked the challenge of longer hair. lol!
She bleached out my brown hair, platinum blonde, and then dyed it a dusty bluuueee. :33

I had to pull a needle out of a lady's hand today. It was free floating in her coin purse. When she grabbed a handful of coins.

@Wildfire: It was a sewing needle, and I don't know why she asked me to do it.

@Another Movie Addict: That's ... a little weird. I assume the "surgery" went well? XD

It did. Luckily it hadn't gone very deep, no bleed. It was just a very weird part of my day.

@Wildfire: I'm enjoying the blue hair. :3
I ended up washing it with hot water to lessen the darkness of it. initially, it was a raven blue which is a bit dark for me. :d
My kids were having a hard time adjusting to my hair color. lol.
I think the color is bright enough that the baby can see it too. lol. :3

My husband is a genius and found a new way to get the baby to sleep for more than 2 hours. I actually got sleep last night. o3o

Well, I'm glad it wasn't a big deal, but yeah... weird.

@Wildfire: im alright, been diving back into painting last couple of days.

we're gonna have to start packing as we have to move in with my grandparents since
land lady demanded we let her know by wednesday if we plan to stick around.

But grandma is still up in Oregon fighting off Pneumonia.
so things are a bit stressful.
but im doing okay!

@MoodyB: That does sound more than a little stressful, but, to be honest, this also sounds like it was to be expected, given all the previous history with this landlady and everything else going on with her. Still, I'm sorry to hear it. So, if grandma is in another state fighting off illness, does that mean grandpa has been alone in the house, or are you guys going to have the house to yourselves for a while??

I'm glad you're doing ok with all of this, though! :3 <3

good morning everyone.
How are you doing today?

It's the beginning of Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S. - do you have any plans? It's the official start of summer for much of the country - does it feel like summertime to you? Are you going to have a BBQ or a picnic or go camping or whatever people do? We'll be hanging out at home, like usual. We may put some things on the grill and watch movies or something but that would be about it for us in terms of celebrating the holiday or doing anything for it.

◦✹ @Wildfire: Yeah... well yesterday was a little worst.
I felt like I had to shut down my emotions for awhile. Probably not the healthiest coping mechanism but it helps not to be overwhelming emotional
sometimes...

I'm doing alright now, my mom would be out of town for a few days so it will help to give us some space for awhile.
How's your day been going so far? ✹◦

@Purpsy: Whatever the details of what's going on, I'm glad you'll be getting a little space - it sounds like you could use it :3

My day has been ok so far. Mostly (or so it seems - lol!), I've been fighting with glue, trying to get the labels off of bottles and cleaning them up so I can use them for other things. Costco uses some intense glue for their labels! /dead/

Otherwise, I did an errand, checked the garden, am trying to figure out whether or not -and where- to try replanting some baby papaya plants that seem to be popping up everywhere (and trying to find good recipes for papaya in anticipation of the abundance of fruit I'm likely to have when all these things start fruiting)...

@Wildfire: Both grandparents have been up in Oregon as at first they went there to see my Aunt graduate to be an offifical nurse
from nursing school. but both my grandparents got sick.
my grandfather not as bad but my grandmother had to be hospitalized.
her sodium levels were not improving but they are finally improving and she will stay 3 more days at the hospital and then my aunt will take care of her until she is all better and then she will fly home with my grandma and my grandfather and another one of my aunt's will drive him home.

we still have to pack. we have at least 30 days to pack at the very least. but no idea what we are gonna do
about the large furniture. maybe rent a storage unit for it.

@MoodyB: I'm glad she seems to be on the mend :3
Yeah... a storage container is probably in your future for pretty much anything not needed on a daily basis.
You have a lot of work cut out for you but I'm sure you'll be able to get everything ready in time.

◦✹ @Wildfire: Ugh yeah =w=
There is an easier way to take off those labels easily, something my mother does often but I forgot what it was pfft.
Ooh! Back when I lived in the Philippines I used to have a papaya tree growing on our backyard. Those can grow very tall but getting the fruit can be such a hassle. My dad either shake the tree in hopes the ripen fruit will fall down or he has to climb all the way to the top to get it. ✹◦

@Purpsy: LOL - yeah, I've heard stories of folks climbing the trees for the fruit! Right now, my biggest is only to my shoulder, so it will be a while before I have to worry about that XD (and, I think I have a dwarf papaya - not the big type). Do you have a favorite papaya recipe?

Common ways to remove glue from bottles include soaking and using soap, scraping them with a razor or credit card type thing, or using "goo-gone" or citrus to break down the glue. I used all of those with these labels and they were still wanting to stick!!
