Though the picture may seem cute, I on the other hand, do not look nearly as adorable after attempting to color my own hair, of late.

My hair is way overdue for some gray coverage upkeep, but here is the rub… I can barely see myself clearly in the mirror, and my right arm concerns have yet to be resolved, so I have limited use of that side. Between those two problems, the woman that I become after a self color job is far less “Adorbs” as the little sugar plum in the picture!

It is hilarious, to say the least! My hair resembles a cross between the patchy white stripes on the roadway, and a calico cat with its mottled fur. I kept missing so many places and having to reapply the color… still not able to see all the patches I was missing. I finally gave up and have been wearing a hat.

I know it’s not a matter of need to have no visible gray, but come on, we all know how self esteem can be a game changer in ones attitude. My insides tell me I can still be that young and beautifully wild woman I was when I was 20, but my outsides are not cooperating. As someone once said, “time waits for no man”… or woman for that matter.

It may seem funny to think this way, but I’m sort of just wearing my hat and waiting for my eye surgeries, since I’m not able to really see how bad it is anyway. I know I could have a professional do the work for me, but I am both cheap and homebound, having lost my license until I can see the road again.

Please don’t think I am being flippant, in regards to today’s prompt. I simply don’t have anything else that I am putting off doing… except, that is, publishing a book. I believe that might change, as I’m not putting it off, I’m just not done yet…
