I'm trying to look my best and most professional.
So far I got my hair cut (first time in almost exactly a year--11 months almost to the day). Not much; trimmed the split ends and they put layers on the bottom. Which I had no idea would actually change how I looks, but it does make my face seem less long and thing.
I don't think of myself as attractive, but I felt sorta pretty--feel, I guess--with my hair like this. And I got it cut for $15.50 at Wal-Mart! I made sure to get the woman's name. I may just time my haircuts with trips home.
But. I don't think I look great, but I feel less "ugh" and plain, yeah. As I said, sorta pretty.
I then proceeded to get a manicure. Which resulted in the UV light thing they use to dry the nails giving my hands a sunburn. (Yes. Yes, I am really that pale.) But it was very mild. I mostly got it because 1) I can't chew my nails this way, which does not make one look mature, and 2) if I get one with gel nail polish, it keeps my nails from splitting and helps them grow healthily.
I need to pick out the right clothing. I need to GO shoe shopping--I don't really own shoes that work. I have a pair of sandals and a pair of black leather classic-style tennis shoes. I think that's it.
I may need to buy an extra pair of dress slacks or an extra skirt. *reminds self*
Aaaaargh, this is going to be crazy, but I am so hopeful about a woman who has two different apartments she'll show me. I don't want to have to go up in another month and do this again. I really don't.
Some of them refuse to rent to me, despite the fact I'm almost 26, due to the fact I'm an undergrad. Even though I'm working too.
This is not helping my stress.
Legally, because Ember is a therapy cat, even no-pet apartments MUST take her. Already one place said they wouldn't. Well, I don't have the money to sue them.
But again, not helping my stress.
Entirely unrelated, I'm getting a second opinion on my endometriosis, I can run 4 miles straight, now, if I want to (I don't every day; I average 1.5, with weights now added to the system. Hard? Wee bit), and I may have some minor ear surgery next month or in May.
MINOR, I emphasize. They wanted to do it when I was a baby (they being doctors) but mom refused, and now I am probably just going to get it.
Can't be worse than when they had to fix my deviated septum because I couldn't breathe out of the left side of my nose, I guess.
Ugh. I feel tired just looking at this.
