Unforseen Consequences About Hair

When I went to the pizza place to work, the assistant manager saw me. Oh, the look on her face! She just froze in place. She did not like my hair, not one bit. You see, she has a bob. Now, I don't have a bob, I have a modified POB. But from the front it looks like a bob. And my hair color is more like her "natural" color. She generally dyes it black, but right now, it's like reddish brown.

But, she may think I'm imitating her, which I'm not. I picked this cut out, because it suits my round face, would get rid of the damaged hair, would still let me have some hair to play with, and was something I felt I could learn to style by myself. So, I'll have to see how she treats me.

Nothing in the paper about the woman I gave a ride to, so far. . .

The news is very bad about the economy. The florist is worried, hell, everyone is worried. I don't think there any chance of getting another job right now either. Everyone is looking for work and the want ads in the newspaper have gone from a full page and a half to part of one column.

I delivered to some old friends last night and the husband had been laid off on December 7Th, and they are in danger of losing their house. They are making plans to rent it out. In order to do that, they have to break up their family. Becky will take two of the kids and go to her sister's. Francis will take the other one and go to his brother's. That way, they will only have to pay $500 a month instead of the full $2000.00 for their mortgage payment. This is the first I'm seen close up of the economy really effecting anyone. I mean, yes, things are bad but we are surviving, but Becky and Francis have gone under and their solution to their problem will help, but not solve it and breaks up the family. That's bad, really bad. I feel so sorry for them.

I really must get going on the garden. If I get the back bedroom cleaned out, I could put tubs in there and grow vegetables in the (next) wintertime. I would just have to put a grow light in. But, the way things are going, I think I'm really going to need those vegetables.
I'm going to talk to my sister and ask her how and when to start preparing the beds. She has kept vegetables gardens before and will know how to do it.
