giving up the ghost or day 108

i was really, really pissy yesterday. really pissy. and it was basically because i was trying to fight things that don't work. why do that? so, i came home from work, after getting my tire repaired and i did this:

project #2 of 5 things: shelley's dog luka. i wasn't initially pleased with this one, but i re-worked it and i am pretty happy now. shelley seems to like it too.

today i decided that growing my hair out is. essentially, fighting something that doesn't work. my hair isn't curly or unruly by any stretch, but it is uncooperatively wavy in humid weather. in that it is now july 1 in chicago, i'm looking at nothing but that. so, to that end, next tuesday, i cut my hair. naysayers revel in the fact that you were correct. i will update my goal of growning my hair out to "tried, failed, and am ok with that" and add the new goal of not deciding to grow my hair out.

also, i had to send my new shoes back. sadly, they didn't really fit.
