The Walk of Shame

Well, I got my hair cut, and as usual I am filled with shame and regret. As usual, in about a month I will have the look I wanted. To be honest, every time I go to an actual salon, I hate my hair afterwards. I try to go to hair schools, or academies, whatever they're called. When you have a nervous student cutting your hair, who is getting graded, they tend to listen and pay close attention to what you want. They also chat less because they really need to focus. It's a win win. The hair school I used to go to in Seattle has been replaced by a hipster pub where I'm sure they sell all kinds of weird meat, and bacon two hundred ways with Pabst on tap to wash it all down. So, I just went to a place in the mall near where I live. I sometimes feel judged by women because I am low maintenance when it comes to beauty. The girl that cut my hair was very dismissive of me once I told her I don't curl, or flat iron my hair. I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure what a flat iron even is. I explained to her that I wash my hair, and sometimes remember to use a brush, other times I just use my fingers to brush it. I'm really glad she didn't ask me what kind of shampoo I use, because I'm afraid my no poo method would have just sent her right over the edge! Ha. So, I don't exactly look like I wanted to look, and I certainly don't feel the flush of confidence from having some super awesome hair. I pretty much look the same, with shorter hair, but whatever.

Strength

I started the day with this breakfast burrito. The inside is stuffed with barley, and some leftover red lentil soup. Slathered with sriracha, it was a great start to the day.

I found these chocolate bars at Grocery Outlet. It is very good chocolate. It's smoother than some other dark chocolate, a little more like milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is probably the single thing I miss most as a vegan. I was always a milk chocolate fan( hello plain Hershey bar, I miss you) and some of the dark chocolate out there is way too sophisticated for me. But these bars are amazing.
I think I once read that when life gives you a bad haircut, chocolate is the best medicine.
I had the most boring, but yet very satisfying dinner. I just didn't even want to think about cooking, but I was also hungry. So I made some rice, baked some tofu, and tossed a salad. Almost easier than a microwave dinner.

Gotta get my greens!

I don't know what it is, but rice and baked tofu are very comforting to me, and easy on the stomach. My stomach has been rather sensitive for about the past week and a half or so. I chalk it up to stress.

Hello World!!

Here's Chunk looking not at all guilty, even though he has knocked over everything that can be knocked over in the bathroom. He's really lucky he's so cute! Ha ha.
