dchenesI've gone from looking at my hair in the mirror and thinking "Ye gods, that's RED! But it's gorgeous" to "Ye gods, that's gorgeous! And it's red." Still not sure I want to re-do it in August, but we'll see. It's dark red, and it's coming off on my towels, but they're TJ Maxx towels, so I don't particularly care if they're still red after I wash them. I had to take my earrings out on Friday in order to get a panorex for the DTP OSCE exam, and never put them back in again afterward, so at least I didn't get my earrings dyed too.
I confused all the Year 2 students at the DTP OSCE by handing them a panorex that was actually me and had absolutely nothing wrong with it, when the story was that I had been hit in the chin with a soccer ball and couldn't open my mouth much, so they were looking for a TMJ disc displacement or edema. It was fun after the first group, though. And that was Friday, so I didn't have to go charging off to chorus again until Saturday.
The concert went pretty well, although it was long (6:15 call for 8:00 concert that ended at 10:45), and the music is still invading my brain at odd moments. But it's done with, and I'm done until September because while Dvorak's The Spectre's Bride might be fun, they're doing it in Czech, which is more effort than I want to put in twice a week for six weeks.
Speaking of which, I really have to get in touch with the dive shop and set up another couple of play sessions and a session with an instructor. Now that my major contribution to commencement (the graduation survey slides) is done, I should be able to think about non-Harvard things for a little while.
I need to have a fairly massive cleaning fit sometime this week, because I am tired of the tumbleweeds of cat hair and rug fuzz. Last week I didn't have the time or the energy to do anything about them, but that was last week. This week I should have considerably more energy.
I've been going through something of a saga with my watch. I have a Skagen watch I like very much, which came with a flexible metal mesh band. I nearly tore that band somehow in the process of putting up my scuba gear rack, so I went to the watch store in Harvard Square that claims to do Skagen repairs, and they replaced the original band with a stiffer one I didn't really like all that much. But it got the job done, so I lived with it, until last Wednesday when the clippy bit on the end fell off in a way I can't fix by myself, and I couldn't wear the watch at all. Not wearing a watch drives me crazy. The easiest way to fix that in short order was to buy a new watch, so I went to the Harvard Square store again on Saturday before the concert, and ended up with an Aristo watch with a Skagen band more like the one I had had on my Skagen watch to begin with.
What I really want is to take both watches somewhere and say "Please take the band off the Aristo and put it on the Skagen, and fix the band that is now on the Skagen and put it on the Aristo", but I've been through enough watch-related annoyance in the last month and right now I'm just glad I have one I can wear that works. And I'm not looking at my wrist nine times a day and saying "Oh yeah, no watch."
