Adventures and Sunsets.

Such a random update post when I never post on here anymore BUT my hair has been some variation of blonde for like …ever? My husband kept talking about how he liked my natural hair color and looking back at pics when my blonde had grown out I kind of liked it too. So yesterday I took the plunge had my hair girl put a whole bunch of my natural color back in and do a heavy root melt with my natural color, so basically it’s just (way darker) blonde towards the lengths but is mostly overall my natural color for the first more in YEARS. Anyway I absolutely love it! And my husband is also obsessed with it. I keep walking by the mirror and being startled because I look so different lol. I think it just goes with my skin tone more and at my age, do I really need to constantly be bleach blonde? I don’t think so. I’m just like still in shock how different I look! But in a good way! If you’ve ever dyed your hair a drastically different color you prob know exactly what I mean about how the mirror catches you off guard lol.

It’s been a while! I keep meaning to post but then just never do. 🙃

My hair girl posted a pic of a cut and color she recently did for hair inspiration. She does this all the time but today I was like OH MY GOSH I love this hair! I’m going to tell her this is exactly what I want next time!

….and then I realized it was a picture of the back of my own head. It was my hair from when she did it last 😂😂😂

Why do I insist on reading Emily Henry books when I know I don’t enjoy them??? I know nearly everyone else does lol. I’m 40% through great big beautiful life and I am soooo bored! Maybe it gets better?

When I got the numbing shots for my fillings today my heart started racing like crazy! And I got all jittery! It only lasted for a couple minutes and they said it was totally normal because of the epinephrine in the shot. They actually warned me of that last time before they did it but I didn’t notice my heart racing at all last time. This time it was like wildly beating so fast! Thankfully it went away. But crazy!!

Second round of fillings today 😑 but then I’m done! Today should be easier because it’s just a couple small ones and I don’t have to also get my permanent retainer removed this time! Yay! I should not have neglected going to the dentist for 9 years lol. Oh well, I will be glad to have my teeth all taken care of after this! Not looking forward to having a numb mouth for half the day though.

This morning I woke up SO early and couldn’t sleep so I got up and went out and took care of the garden chores which I usually do in the evening. Also did multiple loads of laundry. And read my Bible lesson for the day. All before my husband even went to work lol. I always feel so productive on days like today but then by noon I’m exhausted! I’m much more a night owl than a morning person, no matter how much I try to be.

I faced one of my irrational anxieties and went to the car wash today. I get so nervous with them telling you to get your tire on the track with all the hand signals etc. I’m always worried I will mess up! Haha. It went fine.

And then I accidentally set my grocery pickup order to the wrong Walmart all the way across town and only realized it when I went to my usual Walmart to pick it up and it alerted me. 🙃

I am in such a reading slump. I’ve read like 3 one star books in a row and DNFd like 4. I need a good solid 5 star read!!!!!!

All of the anxiety about my fillings and the worst part was the anxiety about the fillings lol. The anxiety about the thing is usually worse than the thing. I have to go back in a couple weeks for 2 more, but now that I know what to expect I won’t be as nervous.

I also got my bottom permanent retainer removed today. After 23 years!!!! Now that the numbness is wearing off in my mouth I can really feel what it’s like without that thing and my goodness, I hated it so much! I’m so glad it’s gone!

I have to get my first ever fillings today and I’m so nervous! 😩

My husband and I watch a show every night before bed (right now it’s The Office rewatch). He likes our nightly shows to be light and a comedy usually or else if it’s a show that requires too much thinking, it will keep him too awake to fall asleep lol.

Anyway after he goes to bed I stay up and watch my own shows. Right now I’m watching This is Us. I’m on season 3.

I never cry during tv shows and this dang show has made me cry like 5 times so far!!!!!

It’s such a good show, I’m so late to the party.

Ok like all 5 of my library holds have come in at the same time and I am also in the midst of a 600 page book for book club. Why does this always happen???? When I have nothing to read my holds are not available for months!

Nothing says im in my late 30’s like replacing my shark steam mop that I’ve had for years with a bissell and being absolutely thrilled with it. I had a shark vacuum forevverrrr and finally replaced it with a bissell a few years ago and was absolutely shocked at how much better the bissell was. So when it was time to replace my steam mop I took a chance on bissell and my goodness. No comparison!!!

Kept having dreams last night that I had a sore throat only to wake up with a tremendously sore throat 😩

Today at book club I noticed one of the ladies was still using a bookmark I handmade (painted, laminated, etc) for them at Christmas. Made me smile! They all talked about how much they loved my bookmarks the last time I met with them 🥹

Well after 38 years, my cavity free streak has ended. Fillings are in my future 😩

Also some weird bone thing came up on my xray? But they concluded it’s just my bone and not a big deal? But ok thank you now I have something else for my health anxiety to spiral about!

[adventuresnsunsetsss]

I feel like this is embarrassing but I haven’t been to the dentist in like 9? 10? Years. We don’t have dental insurance (yay self employment, we do have health insurance though!!) and I make sure we take the kids to every cleaning etc but my husband and I just kind of quit going because dental stuff is so expensive and obviously the kids teeth are the priority! But I finally made an appointment for myself and I’m nervous lol. We will see what they say tomorrow. On a positive note, I’ve never had a cavity when I was getting regular check ups! And I’ve never had any kind of dental issue other than braces when I was a kid. I’m going to ask if they can remove my permanent retainer on the bottom of my back teeth because I hate it so much and it’s been there for 20+ years. Anyway, I’m nervous because I haven’t been in so long! Really hopeful still no cavities. I don’t feel like I have any at least.
