i decided to come home from an 11 hr workday and highlight my hair.
i ended up looking like vitamin c, but not in a cute way like (e:hodown) . more like i tried to highlight my hair at home with drugstore dye, and it is somewhat orange and i look like a cheap whore.
luckily i keep around a few different colors just in case, even though i haven't let color touch my hair in two years. why i decided to do it tonight, who knows. my mind was made up. i think i had too much free time at work to read my new issue of elle, and i felt like doing beauty things.
anyway, its 1030, my hair has been rescued, and it now resting in a towel turban while saturated in about half a bottle of conditioner.
this is why i don't color my hair ever.
plus, my hair gets so damn dry out here, i feel sometimes that it might be a fire hazard... i would say the fire danger level is quite high right now. maybe a few weeks with no blow dryer will be a good thing.
i think the result of the color are going to be quite fabulous but this was way too much work.
lipgloss is never like this, a few seconds and boom! shiny colorful lips and it is beneficial for picking up guys and moisturization!
im sitckin with the gloss from now on people.

help!Category: work
i am so tired! I've been working since 830 this morning. i worked at the hospital and then left to come here and work at my other job.
i am not sure sure what time the parents will be home, but hopefully before 11. i am not sure i can stay up that late!!!
did you ever get that tired feeling and your eyes just hurt and then you get an awful pounding headache? its like, your body know you need to go to bed and its punishing you for not doing so.
sometimes a whole day at the hospital can be really tough. our census has been really low, and they is actually not much work for me to do, since i handle all of the patients paperwork, appointments, and consults. but, it seems less tiring sometimes when it is busy, maybe because time passes quicker.
also, three patient passed away in the past day. that can be very depressing. especially to see the family, and you get to know that family members when they are there so much. two of the patients that passed seemed to be getting better, and then they just went like that. i saw one of them. i don't know i wanted to see him, but i did, and now i think i am going to have nightmares.
i really think nurses have one of the hardest jobs out there. doctors too, but sometimes i think nurses more so. they spend so much times with the patients and do all of the dirty work, and then when a patient passes, it can be like losing a friend.
i am happy that i am going to be a teacher, and i get to see the development of people, not the digression...
i miss my grandma. :(
when i see all of the older patients, so many of them are so out of it. my granny kinda lost it towards the end, but she still went so gracefully. i remember that last time i talked to her before she got really bad. i was holding her hand and thought she was sleeping, and she squeezed my hand, because she knew somehow that i was crying, even though her eyes were closed as she said, "I am going to be ok sarah."
it just made me cry more. she was so strong. she never complained, and even when she was dying, she was trying to make it easier.
it will be so good to visit her grave. i feel bad about not being at the funeral, but most of my extended family is just way too much for me to handle, and this way i can pay my respects in peace.
i think now is the perfect time to go to blo.
it's going to be really nice to not be in that hospital for a whole week...

I think it's terrible at first, but as you see more people dying in your arms, you get stronger and wiser with their spirit. It's very moving as well as powerful to be with someone in their last minutes alive. To a certain extent, I think I am who I am because all those people who died sharing their thoughts with me.

one small step for me...Category: work
one giant leap for me being on time...
i bought alarm clock today... i am officially becoming a responsible adult. really.
i get up for work everyday at 630. i floss- even though i hate it.
this is a huge deal, after years of using my cell phone, which is never the best idea. i hate having my phone on at night, unless im out or up. so, now i don't have to deal with texts or calls, and i can wake up to that age old lovely buzzing noise that many have come to know and hate...

Oh, and don't floss if you hate it. Just brush 2-3 minutes more than you do normally. It's the DURATION of brushing that favourably affects your risk of getting plaques and decay. This has been epidemiologically observed in studies. But you do need to brush for at least 3 minutes or more after most meals and for a minimum 2 times a day.
Flossing is painful and annoying. I haven't ever flossed and never shall. I don't have a single tooth decay and not much plaque. I am not saying this to feel smug, though. I think it can be attributed, at least in part (I know some hereditary factors have been uncovered), to my obsession with brushing my teeth for a relatively longer period of time.
Some dentists will tell you that brushing too much will erode your enamel. However, if you are careful to:
a) Use a really soft-bristle brush
b) Brush softly and not like your waging war,
brushing for a longer time is as effective as flossing or even more so, against the same end outcomes -> tooth decay/plaque.

OMG. I HATE that alarm clock sound. After years and YEARS of buzzing, beeping and other weird and totally unnatural and masochistic aural assaults, I think my body got fed up or plainly scared spineless of those unpleasant sounds. It's crazy what fear and loathing (in Buffalo) can do. I wake up without any alarms now.
I used to have an escalating-sound radio alarm a while back. It was fun to set it at a classical station and hear the symphony building - in movements as well as in volume in the morning, but that phase didn't last long because my radio died and I am too lazy to replace it. I never listened to real-time radio anyway and used it just for it's alarm clock function.

make it stopso i had this awful tonsilitis. and i had it while i was still w/o ac/ kinda homeless and had to work 12 hrs everyday. well, the meds i took gave my major stomach issues.
i was reduced to eating... toast and sprite and bananas for 8 days. so i was done with that on friday. i went out friday night and had little fun. i was the dd, not one ounce of alcohol, not one.
i ate healthy today, and not even that much, and i come home from work and what do i get???? more stomach issues!!!!!!!!!!! wtf???!!!
i went to church today... because i wanted to. i think i just feel like going to church. i didn't do anything bad or anything, but i just wanted to go. and this is how god rewards me? not fair.
also, it seems many men are trying to hollr at me and the one that i actually like, has not contacted me in four days. now, to a woman that is a lifetime, to a man maybe not.
i think this calls for a massive brownie sundae, even though i will probably be sick ten minutes later...
and i am reverting back to the "shopping for labels, not shopping for love", attitude.
