Happy Pills and Happy Hair

I have now been taking 5-htp and melatonin for a little over a week to help me sleep and to boost my serotonin to help my mood. I cannot say that I am 100% yet, but wow what a difference a week makes. I am falling asleep and only waking a time or two for a few minutes, as opposed to laying staring at the ceiling for hours. (Funny side note: one of those up-all-night-bedtimes C woke up about 3am and looked over at me with a very confused look, “What are you doing?!” “Eatin’ a popsicle!” That’s right, I went downstairs, got a juice and yogurt pop at 3am and brought it back to bed. That, dear readers, is why C loves me.)

I am hoping that all of this continues to help, I feel optimistic…first time in a long time! Yay!

Plus my dear best friend put hot-red (think hot pink, but red) chunks in my hair last night. They are most fabulous! He had a new product and wanted to use me as a guinea pig – so far so good. We are just praying that they don’t fade to look like pink lemonade. Though it is only hair and if they do, we will just dye it. (For those of you that don’t know me in real like I naturally have red hair, though I haven’t seen my natural color in easily 10 years, I always dye it different fun shades of red. My last adventure was in April – purplish-red on the under layers with Irish red on the top, a strip of blonde between the two layers and on a panel on either side of my face.) How am I the spawn of a very conservative mother?

Of course he works in a Petticoat Junction salon and the women could not stop staring in horror and whispering amongst themselves while he was doing it. He is very talented, but they are used to roller sets and ugly hick woman bouffants. Hopefully one day C and I will get out of this Podunk town and bring him along, so he can reach his potential and enjoy his working environment. Personally, I enjoy scaring the other clients with my hair color…we often pretend it is a mistake and freak them out.
