Have you seen the movie The Rules of Attraction ? It's a movie that came out in 2002 and is based on a book written by the same author as American Psycho. Different feel, very same satirical humor. Anyhow, it starts out at a scene at a party and the narrator is talking about different people at his college. The scene flashes on Jessica Biel's character drunkenly going into a hotel room with the football team, alluding to a "consensual" train. The narrator goes on to say how she's now a senator's wife, "funny how time distorts things". A lot of trends that are popular these days are call-backs to things that used to be popular when I was in high school. Most of the time, those things are light and fluffy and taken at face value. Things get a little dangerous though when call backs are viewed through the cancel culture, neo-political correct society we live in today, Courtney Love's "kinderwhore" look, mid-90s.

Ladies, I'm sure you can identify with me here. A major life event happens and you just need a NEW ME. Most of 2019 was a struggle for me, especially after September & I took it out on my hair. I was stressed out & I also was having a hard time finding a stylist in Hawaii that did blonde color well & didn't want to charge me an arm & a leg for it.

I don't think I've ever used an ampersand as many times as I have in that paragraph. Anyhow, I got some level 3 demi hair tint & went dark. I thought that because it was demi, it wasn't as much of a commitment. Months went by and it didn't matter how many washes, this color didn't want to budge. I figured it was no big deal, it should be easy for a hair dresser to fix for me....
This morning I woke up to my husband getting ready to take our older son to an appointment. I wasn't ready to open my eyes or have any thoughts yet. Irritation was rampant in my body. How dare he put on a belt! Maybe it's PTSD, maybe it's just my normal anxiety, I seem to wake up with scrambled eggs for brains. I never know which way to go first. I really should go for a run, but i also could goto the gym, maybe I should fill out that VA form I need to send in. I remembered the idea of a morning routine and how much calm that my arch nemesis, meditation, is actually capable of giving me. I did a 15 minute meditation. It was a simple visualization "hypnosis", with no breath work. I hate breath work. Just like how I hate lunges. I'm not good at it and I feel like it's harder for me than everyone else. I came out of my meditation with a feeling of calm and I was able to focus enough to sit with my 9 ...
