I remembered that I wrote those two things to be Facebook notes because that was my previous form of writing. I was stubborn about making a blog because of how I've always thought it claimed too much of my mother's time from her children. Those posts take me back. Updates: I do have more confidence. In a lot of things now. And the gray hair...Well, I haven't dyed my hair since August or July maybe, and I have about 2.5 inches of what hairdresser Auntie Bonnie calls "virgin hair", also known as undyed roots and mixed among the gold and light brown of my natural hair, I do have some silvery white hairs. I've decided to just suck it up for now. I really want my natural hair color back. I want virgin hair. I want the hair color I am genetically meant to have. So we shall see. And this is like my 11th post of the evening. And...I am going to sleep.
