Lynette sent me all the dying stuff I needed with specific instructions on how to mix it. That was the easy part my friends. The hard part was getting it on my roots. My arms were tired from being over my head. I felt like I was in a Chinese beauty parlor because it took what seemed like forever getting it on my hair. I did it. Now I had to sit and wait for 25 minutes. I was worried. I had no clue what it was going to turn out like. Lynette told me the worse case scenario would be that I would not have any highlights left. So it can't be too bad. I can deal with healthy, one color hair until December. The dye they put on my hair here destroyed it. So I sat and waited.
At 12:15 I was going to jump in the shower to wash my hair. However, when I began my process of doing that I realized I had a t-shirt on. How on Earth was I going to get that over my head without getting dye all over it? Impossible. So, I got in the shower and luckily we have the kind of head that you can hold onto. I washed my hair and then I was able to take a real shower. Yes, my shirt got a little wet but it was better than the alternative.
My hair felt good. It looked good wet but I still needed to dry it to see what it would look like. After drying I checked out my hair. No gray...well, at least the place I could see didn't have gray. I still have highlights. Overall I feel like it was a success. But, the problem I realized was that I had kind of a lot of dye left and I wasn't suppose to. Maybe next month I will do better. Live and learn. Next month should go smoother. Now if only Lynette taught me how to cut my hair.
At 12:40 the Warner Repairman came over. The sink in my bathroom would not even drain anymore. I tried to fix it myself but whatever was clogged was way down in the pipes. The repairman came in and he was pretty rude. He was giving me dirty looks because I couldn't understand what he was saying. Hello...American. I also think he was mad because he had to fix the sink and shower. I called Serena. It took me 3 times to explain to her what I needed. She finally understood and told the man. He went to work. I had taken some of the stuff out from underneath the sink when I was working on the drain but I should have taken it all out. The man had water everywhere. Oh well, my ayi was on her way over. And for the record I cleaned up the cupboard part and part of the floor. I did not leave it all for her because I thought that would be rude.

The repairman busted out his snake and cleaned the drains. I was certainly wishing my cousin, Tim the Turd Herder was here. He would have had this problem fixed in 5 minutes not 20. No problem, the drains work and that is all that matters. Xiao Li showed up and cleaned it all up for me. What a girl.
Today was Cameron's first after school activities day. He has soccer on Monday's. He was a little worried because he thought he would be the worst kid because it is only 4th and 5th grade now. Last year it was 3, 4, 5. He was hoping to have some younger kids. I picked him up and he said it was good. Boy was he red and hot. Come to find out he has gym the last period of the day and then goes right to soccer. He took 2 drinks with him but he is going to need 3. He will sleep good tonight.

We ordered Jacky's for dinner last night. Cameron got all excited about getting a tuna sandwich. I asked if he was sure that was what he wanted. He said "Yes, I love them". When our food came and Cameron started eating he said "Wait a minute...Alfredo is the one who loves tuna sandwiches, not me". He ate 2 bites and all the french fries and then got sausages out of the refrigerator. He took the tuna sandwiches down to Alfredo. Alfredo was very happy about Cameron's mistake.
