[Sundae]

I had two choices for hair colour. I asked Mum's opinion.
Because of a showdown I have not documented here, which really broke me up but was in fact warranted.

Asking her about my hair was really brown-holing and unnecessary though. I'm about to clean the bathroom floor - that and the ironing I've done would have been enough for this afternoon.

So of course she said she liked the darker colour I had in, black/ plum sort.
I did it.
I don't like.
It drains my face. I look about 50 - which is fine if you're 50. I'm not.
AND it will take far longer to pass. Mum said (callously!) "Well you'll have it another colour next week!" No, I won't; I can't.

I'm not blaming her. I mean I bought the colour when it was on sale. I just wish I hadn't asked, then I could have chosen the bright red without snubbing her.

Sigh - live and learn.
And things are so much better here now that I am making a real contribution to the house. Like I used to, before I became obsessed with my own health worries (aka lazy.)

May goth-up for our trip to London tomorrow.
Not in defiance, just as a way of making it look better.
