wendyzskiThe only proper response to smushing one's shared car on Friday night is, of course, a weekend of goofing off. While I did do a fair amount of housework, it's more self-defense than anything else. Bunny is still shedding profusely, and if I want to enjoy air conditioning when it hits 90 on Monday, I'd best get rid of most of the filter-clogging fluff wafting about.
Yesterday morning was errands - nice and gentle so as to work out my adrenaline-fried muscles. Dropped off a heap of library books, picked up the gee-tar (and got free ice cream because the donater works at an apt rental agency which was doing a promo), and hit the local asian import place for nifty shoes. Got a pair of black/multi brocade flip-flops and a pair of blue brocade mary-jane style slippers. Got my hair cut - shorter than I'd hoped but that's what you get a 2 months after you try to double-process your own hair. Sigh. It's not QUITE mom-short, but it's a definite difference.
Came home and attacked my bathroom for really the first time since I moved in last September. scrubbed and mopped (and finally cleaned up that broken blush from sometime in March), located all the half-bars of soap that had fallen down behind things, and made the bathtub safe for humanity. Of course, the only proper response to a nice clean bathtub is a nice long hot bath, which put paid to the last of the lingering muscle aches. Added in a deep conditioner overnight (yes, it's rare, but I occasionally break out in 'girl'), and I was done for the day.
Today it was the Roomba that got the workout. I must have emptied the poor thing 10 times between the kitchen and the living room. And I didn't even make it do the bunny-hangout behind the futon - that got a sweeping and then a once-over with the hand-vac. Cleaned the litterbox and took out 3 bags of trash.
Then I went out to get a few more things done and to let the dust settle a bit. Since we cut off the fried bits I had to recolor, so I stopped by Sally's. Since the ends are nearly bleached, I got the med-auburn AND the red-brown color glazes and mixed them, then left them on for 90 minutes. On to Walgreens to discover that the diet coke sale ended yesterday (*sniffle*) but there are always things you don't remember you need till you get there. Because I've still got a lingering case of "girl", I decided to try the Neutrogena microdermabrasion kit (I got the refill because I can't see the extra $18 for a widget to do what I can perfectly well do by hand). My face certainly looks nice and glowy but it is a bit sting-y. Also it is really hard to rinse off all those little crystals - I'm not sure they all finally came off till I was in the shower rinsing out the hair color.
I wish poor Pepper liked this kind of pampering - she's gone from "splodey shed" to "OMG your fur is coming off!". There are a couple of patches on her butt where ALL the fluff has come off, and it looks like a hole with black velvet at the bottom where the new fur is growing in. Never seen THAT before, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stealthbunny assures me it is normal (though a little tummy-sicking). And she's all moody - the slightest movement in her peripheral vision sends her running full-tilt out of the room. She's eating, but in smaller batches - instead of inhaling her pellets, she comes back 2-3 times before they are all gone. She normally hates to be touched most of the time but it's worse - not even any brief head-pets. And instead of shoving stray papers out of the way or simply running over them, she's actually attacking and tearing them. I managed to rescue my copy of 'Heart's Ease', but the cover letter for the Quad Cities gig was a loss. I'm not sure if it's hormonal changes, itchiness, or just knowing she looks kind of funny, but she's certainly miss thumpy-grumpy this week. Poor thing.
