Mocha Java, baby
Oct. 4th, 2011 06:46 pmMy mood yesterday:
I just need to push through the panic and run yelling war cries with shiny knives into the jungle. It's my jungle with my monsters and I get to slaughter how I see fit. I think it will help.
My mood today:
Today, I have slaughtered many psychic monsters in my mental jungle. I am still depressed and in phenomenal pain. But that is why I have medication, meditation, and cats. Especially cats. Yay cats.
I went out to King Farm in Rockville to deposit a check in my bank, then remembered that I had a coupon for Hair Cuttery. I needed my eyebrows waxed anyway. So I got an eyebrow wax and a full color dye for almost half the retail price. I chose the shade Mocha Java, because once I saw the sample in the color book, I realized that this was the color I wish could have been my natural hair color. I had been born with jet black hair, which changed to every shade of brown as I grew up. Mocha Java is very dark brown with neutral to warm tones, gently highlighted with gold. It really does look like the color of coffee. I am so happy with it. My new user icon show the color. The woman who worked on me, Vita, was wonderful and gentle and sweet, and we had some fantastic conversations. Vita didn't question my choice or try to talk me into a different shade, which I appreciated so much. I tipped her very well with cash and if I ever decide to color my hair again I will go back to her because I trust her.
Speaking of Mocha Java, I've made some fantastic coffee now that I've learned to use our little coffee bean grinder. My favorite beans come from Mayorga: Black And Tan, Sumatra, Mocha Java. Blended with the Chocoberry Antioxidant Drink Mix by Garden Greens and Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Cocoa Powder plus dark honey and raw sugar and Penzey Cinnamon Blend, my coffee just becomes awesome to me.
At Safeway, I checked out the yogurt section, and saw several cups of Liberte Mediterranee in Apple Crumble, my favorite. Oh, be still, my heart. I bought four cups, and they were so new to the store that they didn't even register. The cashier and I had to just guess at the price, compared with Whole Foods. I don't care if Safeway has just one flavor, I'm just ecstatic that it's available.
Pain is still great, especially in my back. And my hips. And my knees. And my neck. The fatigue is massive. The world is like molasses. My muscles are exhausted. But I did have a good day. *nods*
For these photos, I am wearing 100% Pure Healthy Skin Foundation in Creme, BareMinerals Volumizing Mascara in Black, and Aveda Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Morning Rose. Also, a bright blue tee shirt. I do feel beautiful and bright.
