I want to darken my hair. I wear my hair a dark rich brown and when it fades it tends to have a coppery-red look, which is pretty on most people but I hate on myself. I want to darken it again but this time add something that will offset the red. But everybody is telling me that they like it. I don’t know if I’ll just freshen up what is there or darken it anyway.

I am finally all moved. I still have lots of boxes to unpack here at the new place, but the worst of it is over, thank the gods. There is a car/pet wash area right ouside my apartment, so I took my cat boxes, my garbage can, and my bird perch out there to give them a good cleaning. There was some heavy duty grunge built up on my bird perch, so I set the machine on the car wash setting. My hand accidentally got in the way of the high pressure stream, and the water ripped the skin right off it! OUCH!

I found a pen today on the ground that said “Ricky Raccoon says: ‘Say no to drugs!’” For some reason I found that extremely funny. Hmm…maybe my brain is just a little too fried.

## I had this really big dump before I went into work- it almost made me late. I had to flush 3 times- that’s what we cow-gods call a healthy Jethro Bodine Crap. If anyone cares I can go into further detail (i.e. texture, smell, color…) but until then…
