Time Flies

I hope my friend, whom I haven't seen in forever, is doing well and had a happy birthday yesterday.

News

I get sad and frustrated listening to the news nowadays. Everything is just going to hell.

hair!

I got my hair cut, and I think I had her thin it a little too much! It looks flat! Oh no! I mean, I like when my hair looks a LITTLE flat, as opposed to puffy, but I think I went a little crazy. She even said, "I think I thinned it enough", but OH NO, Nicole just HAD to have more done! ugh. Now I think I'll have to wash it more because it's going to look greasy quicker.

hurumph

Why would someone not email someone back? It hurts my feelings. Maybe they didn't get the message, but then you don't want to email someone umpteen times in case they DID get the message and are purposely not writing you back. But it leaves you wondering either a) they didn't get the message, or b) they don't want to be my friend. Maybe there is another option, but that's what it seems like to me. But it's weird when that doesn't really add up with the person you know/knew. Like, it doesn't seem like they wouldn't want to talk to me...hmm. and ugh. and waaah.

When?

When will people ever realize that guns need to be outlawed? I know that's an extreme and perhaps idealistic position, but seriously, something extreme needs to be done. Maybe major restrictions is more realistic. I understand (I guess) people wanting guns to either collect or for hunting in Alaska or something, but aside from that, they're only going to be used for nefarious reasons. Oh, right, or to protect oneself. Yeah, like that'll work. What kind of weirdo feels good about the idea of shooting someone? If someone endangers my safety, that sucks, and I would love to think that I could protect myself, but that certainly doesn't mean that I would want to shoot someone. I really wish Obama would do more on gun restriction because I think he's the only presidential option even close to doing something about it. I think he wants to; I just think he's stuck because of political bullshit. Thoughts??

Weight Wait

I gained 4.5 pounds. That stinks!! It felt so good to be losing, but I hadn't weighed myself in at least three weeks, and I've been drinking and eating delivery and bla bla bla. Also, my doctor said that I can not yet go on a second blood pressure medicine IF I start exercising 30 min. a day. Sounds great, but I'm not sure I will do it. I'm not sure what to do; the apartment is so small, and I'm still broke, and now it's cold outside. But I also don't want to be on TWO blood pressure medicines. I'm supposed to keep monitoring it and sending her the readings--like four times a week for a month. She's a really good doctor; I like her a lot. my b.p. is down, but the bottom number is still too high.
