My husband and I were waiting at the end of the driveway for my son’s bus to drop him off yesterday. (I’d taken the day off for a salon visit and a doctor’s appointment.)

Aaron looks at my hair and says, “Do you know that one meme, with the cat wearing a lime on its head…?”

After we both had a good laugh, he backpedaled a little and told me that my updated ‘do reminded him of an astronaut’s wife — like, classic retro ‘60s hair.

I think maybe he was thinking more along the lines of Sharon Tate:

At any rate, my new bangs definitely made an impression. I can dig it.

I’ve had worse days by far.

Still, after staying up until 11:30pm last night restoring my new phone (hooray for mobile insurance when your battery starts swelling up like Violet Beauregard), then getting the 2:30am “my foot hurts” wake-up call from my six-year-old, I was mighty lethargic today. Add to that the fact that I had intentionally NOT upgraded my phone to iOS 11 because I knew it would break some apps I loved… well, guess what OS my replacement came loaded with?

Yeah. Plus, my phone appears to no longer sync with the Kia UVO system. I’m still holding out hope that a reboot of my phone might actually correct the issue like the UVO system seems to think it will. If not, I guess I’ll either use Bluetooth or drive the other car. Or, you know, just listen to a CD, but that’s so 2002.

Anyway, I decided I deserved a little time for myself this evening. I sat quietly in the sunroom for 15 minutes before making dinner (because I had the time), then spent a half hour out in the garden after my son was (theoretically) asleep. I had meant to just read magazines in the sunroom and soak my feet, but dirt therapy worked just as well, and I got stuff accomplished to boot.

That fresh air does wonders.
