Thing the first: My kidneys continue to hate me. I drank glass after glass of water to flush out a stabbity pain last night. Which means I didn't sleep particularly well, as I kept having to get up for the bathroom. I feel better this morning, though. After I warm myself up with some herbal tea, I'm going to continue waterpalooza, just in case.

Thing the second: I am getting a much needed haircut on Thursday. I've started attacking my own split ends with scissors and rather than end up with a Dumb and Dumber haircut, I am seeing a pro. I am also resolving to treat my hair better-- sticking with one color and only dyeing the roots for half a year has really helped a lot, but the ends are still a little dry and paintbrush-y. I'm gonna cut off about 2 1/2" to get that gone, then do a weekly deep condition. NightBlooming makes some hair salve that's popular with peeps from long hair forums, and they're fanatical about their hair. I say that's a good place to start. I will review.

Thing the third: Zzzzzzt, for real. I have gotten crappy sleep all week. I do not like this, Sam I am.
