My big blue bag o’ cheap French clothes arrived yesterday. And I love all of it, except for one of the tops which had this baggy thing going on in the bust, not flattering. And the dress will need to be hemmed. The long cardigan is rather itchy, but I was planning to layer it over something anyway. The plaid skirt is to die for. The light turtlenecks are perfect. The crop-sleeved jacket is outstanding. Etc etc. HOORAY.

Yesterday I got my hair cut downtown. When I say “downtown,” btw, I do not mean Seattle, just so we’re clear. I walked past this little salon on the main street and decided, what the hell, walked in and made an appointment. I just needed a few inches trimmed off of my very long hair. I ended up with a great haircut for $25 (I used to pay $50 in SF), and my hairdresser was great too. Even in a town of 7000 people I can find the gays.

Right now it is raining hard and will continue all day, with increasingly violent wind. The cats got me up at 7:30 and so I fed them and then did a few chores and made coffee. I kind of feel like going back to bed now.
