Day 3: Fun Bun!

I know I looked ticked, but I'm really squinting from the sun.

This morning, I woke up to a surprisingly normal-looking 'do. I didn't even have to use baby powder. Touching it was an entirely different matter; it felt really gross, as if I'd rubbed it with Crisco the night before. Yuck. I figured I'd put it up in a messy bun ("fun bun" as my baby sister used to call it) and it'd probably still be presentable. I was right. Thanks for the suggestion, Nicole!

It's nice not having to wash your hair when you have to get up early. Normally, to be to church by 8:00 a.m. to play prelude music, I would have to wake up at 6:30 so I could shower, blow-dry and style my hair, put on make-up and eat breakfast before heading out. But when the hair factor is gone, I can get up at 7:20 and still have time to spare. Now, that's what I'm talking about. I am not a morning person, so every extra minute (or hour) makes me a happier gal in the long run.

So, Day 3 is better than Day 2, but only because I put my hair up. Otherwise, I think I'd be singing a different tune. Like maybe the tune of the funeral march. But ponytails make everything better.

As a side note, I got contact lenses yesterday. It's my first time ever using them, and so far, I like them. I can only wear them for four hours at this point (eventually, I will work my way up to eight). I did notice my eyes starting to strain a little at the end of today's four-hour block. Something weird I noticed: my eyes take longer to adjust from looking at distance objects to looking at close-up objects. Is that normal? I have no idea. I hope it goes away eventually. Glasses are fun, but contacts are really nice!
