A little whine with that cheese?

tvordljI finally got back to the hair dresser's this weekend. I'd been to have my hair cut once in the last few months but during the bus strike i couldn't get over on weekend to get it dyed and foiled etc. It takes too long to do that at lunch and when you're driving with someone else i couldn't go after work or i'd miss my ride home. I tried to cover the grey with drugstore dye but i didn't do a very good job. Finally i got in on Saturday and my hair feels and looks so much nicer now. Brighter too. The grey just dulled it down so much. Someone asked me once if i would ever let the dye grow out completely and I think i probably won't until i retire at least. Or if i knew it was a lot more grey than it is. It's got a lot but it's not a lot, if you get my drift. It would probably still be a lot more brown than grey but enough grey to look dowdy. (in my view at least).
The problem with dark hair is that you really notice it a lot more so growing it out would be visibly noticeable. I suppose as i get older, i'll need to adjust the colour a bit so i don't have that wrinkled and baggy face and dark un-grey hair! Well, i usually go for a medium brown with coppery highlights but even so, it's still not that light. It's great how much better you feel when your hair looks nice, regardless of colour or not.
My back is still giving me a little bit of grief on and off and i'm getting so sick and tired of it. I fell over a couple of weeks ago, just over my own two feet and that jolted me. I think that kind of put it off a little. It's nowhere near as bad as it was a few months ago but it's frustrating. I felt very sorry for myself last night. It just seems like every day i get up and something hurts somewhere. It felt like it yesterday at least. I did try the gym thinking that might loosen it a bit though it didn't but the chiropractor was still in the office when i left there so i popped in for an adjustment and went home to put heat on it since the cold did precisely nothing yesterday morning. It does feel a bit better today and i already have another adjustment scheduled for Thursday so i'll keep that appointment too. I need to make sure it feels better for when G. gets here in just over 2 weeks :)
In other news, i have to have an ultrasound scan tomorrow. A few months back i starting having pseudo-periods. I hadn't had any for a few years and figured i might have been in menopause but also, being very overweight can have that effect too so i thought it might have been that as well. I've lost a little weight over the past year or so, so when that started up again i thought it might be that kicking back in. I asked the doctor and she said it could but it also needed to be checked out. I went to a gynocologist for some poking and prodding and he's sending me for the scan (to see if the walls of the uterus are thickened at all or if there's anything else up there that shouldn't be, i suppose) and some blood tests and i'll find out in May if it's anything that needs treatment. I could end up having a hysterectomy like Mom but it might also just be a menopause thing. We'll see. My doctor said it was like flipping a coin since at my age it could be either something serious or not. I knew i had to have it checked though so i didn't put that off.
Mom had the same thing happen but at her age, it's most definitely something serious. She is doing quite well post-surgery though, and won't need any further treatment as far as we know. It was caught quite early.
We have a section meeting this morning. All morning. Joy.
