Just finished shaving my head and I took a big lump of skin off the back of my skull....ouchie

pshrynk · 06-11-2009, 04:02 PM

Cleaning up the Harv and Vera's Mexico Vacation thread to make it into an e-book for uploading to MR.

And waiting patiently for our French subcontractors to complete the cover art...

Just woke up, quite dizzy, from a thirty minutes nap (Marc, did you hit me again

) and found myself having to open two windows for MR: one to catch up with the music, the other fot the llama produced otters...

Getting dizzier by the second!

Now I fall asleep fairly quickly with a smile on my face (I do love a good story

). Not that I think my stories are all that good and I don't think I've ever actually made it to the conclusion, but I do fall asleep happy!! It's a silly thing, I know, but it works for me.

I find I have to do logic problems or sudoku/kenken puzzles or something. If I do them for too long a period of time, I run the risk of dreaming of filling in squares with numbers or solving logic problems before a monster gets me, but if I just do it long enough to let my mind disengage from life and drift off to sleep, I'm in great shape! I tried the story thing after a friend suggested it, but I get too into the story and stay awake for hours and hours making it work. Puzzles allow my brain to rest.

In a weakened moment, I turned my resume in to a couple of schools. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't call. How sad is that?!?!

I adore teaching, but hate working. If I could just spend my time working with the kids in the classroom and not have to deal with all the extraneous garbage, I would be happy to work. Unfortunately, there is no way to get away from it and that tarnishes my time with the kids.

I know *sigh* the job became a lot less fun and exciting when the paperwork starting piling up. If I wanted red tape, I'd join the government, and write reports on which missiles are hiding where, and what color underwear the leaders of the not-so-free nations are wearing on any given day... I think you should be an assistant. All the kid time with none of the hassle/planning. Unless you get a teacher who decides you are her paperwork assistant... scratch that....

start working freelance from home, with no company but a couple of relatively taciturn felines. you'll see that it's nice to have a bit of "conversation" during breaks, and that the forum makes the tedious bits pass faster.

Ah, that's where I went wrong. I wonder if I could fashion model underwear from home as a freelance job? I am good at that. Or old clothes that double as jammies (that is the outfit I am currently wearing, on my first day NOT going anywhere). I am going to have to figure this thing out. But I'm afraid I'd spend ALL day on the computer, in my underwear instead of doing any work or bathing. I think I need a job just to make sure my hygiene is in check...

Ouch.....I usually keep my head shaved in the summer. So I really do feel your pain. Quite too often in fact. I still have not found a really great method for shaving my nogen. I wish there was a shampoo that took the hair off your head for you while you showered that would make it so much easier.

Nope, I got up soooooo slowly......my cats didn't even see my getting up.

Don't you ever dare saying such thing!!! That'll give him nightmares for a month! (Although I can't help pulling that joke every April Fools day

)

Possible...

I tried stoping, but it's so much more convenient!

Well, to be fair, I asked!

Thanks for giving it a shot though, you wild holiday girl!

Straight razor and a lot of time

Sitting here, looking at the completed file for Harv and Vera's Mexico Vacation, waiting on that French contractor to get the cover art done, tapping my foot...

Might they also belong to the Farking Contractors Union?

Don't forget to closely inspect the finished cover art for holes. You never can be too careful.

I'm just sayin'.

I am frightened of a straight razor as I have never used one. I may however look into this. Can't take any longer than using a disposable razor every time.

You need to take it very slow and use lots of whatever your preferred shaving medium is (soap, foam etc). Oh - and you need to keep it sharp!

Not speaking from personal experience but the yeti (hubby) uses a straight razor on his face - it's the only thing that doesn't give him a bright red, irritated face.

Hey, it's your fault. You shouted out "HEY, MARC? WATCH IT WITH THAT SHOVEL ON YOUR SHOULDER!", causing me to turn around suddenly...and then everything went all Laurel & Hardy.

When I do it, I tend to use LOTS of shaving cream, and keep adding, and use something with as many blades as possible, and being careful. It helps a great deal to clip with a no-blade first. I've stopped completely shaving since moving to Noosa, as I spend so much time in the sun that I'd just be creating a melanoma collection plate, though I still go the no-blade option with the Wahls (and then wear hats, and suncream when swimming). My head goes from near-bald to a sticky-out mess that annoys me enough to clip it again. Right now it's about a third of the way there.

Cheers,
Marc

Just got off a marathon texting session with Ricky. She's fine, had some severe weather in her area though.
Also made green chicken enchilada casserole (green with tomatillo salsa).
Helped my neighbor bury that black edging stuff for our shared flower bed. My nailbeds will never be clean again!
Reading Maggie Sefton's second book, "Needled to Death" I love the books, but they make me want to learn to knit. I've tried it - I'm NO good at it, and need to stick to crochet....but those books make me want to pick up knitting in the WORST way.
