I'm sure you are wondering what any of those things have to do with each other but please let me enlighten you. So last Saturday was much needed relaxer day and that warranted a cut and for several days all was well in my world. By the end of the week of humid classes and really hard sleeping my hair was feeling kinda funky. So instead of utilizing my normal "my hair feels great I'll wash it in two weeks" fresh relaxer pass I had to wash it today. I prepooed for about two hours and then altered my wash routine slightly. Instead of starting with my Organix shampoo I used the Shiny Silver shampoo I bought from Sally's the other day. I'm sure some of you are wondering why I bought Shiny Silver shampoo but remember that some of my gray was tinting yellow which isn't attractive and since I hadn't yet decided if I wanted to see the stylist again I figured I should try to take care of it myself. Turns out this is pretty common and there are tons of shampoos for silver and blond hair to remove "brassiness" and the unfortunate yellow tinting. Ok moving on from the aside. I then followed my normal wash routine and just added the Shiny Silver conditioner to the mix. I deep conditioned twice after letting my hair air dry a bit. I first used the protein deep conditioner from Tropic Isle Living (Coconut) and after letting that sit for 20 ish minutes I did my normal As I Am deep conditioner for about the same amount of time. I air dried a bit again and then put on my As I Am leave in and the Great Detangler leave in. There was surprisingly more hair than I'm used to being in my comb right after a relaxer as well so that didn't make it me happy. I opted to wrap it since my freshly relaxed hair tends to behave in a wrap and because really I don't have to go in very long tomorrow and can get it together before or after that if I need to.

Pre Move Update
Hey everyone,
looks like everything is finally on track for us to relocate now. Movers will be here Friday morning. As soon as I can confirm the car transport then we will fly out on Saturday. Stay in a hotel until either late Sunday or Monday morning. Do some running around to process my information so I can get paid. Set up the cable--hopefully get the car delivered that day, finish negotiating some things that have come up from the home inspection provided that hasn't been done already. Nothing major but things of concern for me. And then a few days later start work.
I've had my last wash day in this house. Or at least my last planned wash day. I have closed up the big pump bottles and figured out I need to replace my conditioner. I always run through that so much faster than my shampoo. I did a flexi set and need to figure out how to get it to dry faster. It's taking forever even when I let it mostly dry completely before adding my leave ins and detangling. Unfortunately since I was being a lazy bum I did lose a lot of hair this wash day (which was actually Monday after an overnight prepoo). I'm going to donate some more hair products to my hair dresser who is coming to look at a set of china momma is finally parting with before the move. Even though nothing major has left the house it's feeling somewhat emptier with the things we have donated, given to the neighbor for their help, sold at the garage sale or flat out trashed. I still haven't worn my giveaway prize but when I'm up and moving it's packing time and I don't want to break it.
And I just saw something on FB that makes me know I did the right thing a few months back when I finally broke things off instead of letting them drag on and on. He seems to be happy and things aren't complicated for him any longer. I'm feeling a little lonely but not for that relationship or even the promise of what might have been. Things move on because they have to. I've talked to a few friends and my brother and really it's time for this chapter of my life to close. And that's a good thing honestly. I'm looking forward to developing a new routine, learning a new city and just engaging life in a different way. What's up with you guys?
See ya maybe before the move but probably not until after we get situated at least at the hotel.
