I've had my nose in the books for the past couple months. These Vet. Tech. classes are really getting tough. I'm supposed to be studying for finals right now, but I just couldn't take it anymore. My head feels like it's going to explode!
I've been working on my betta site here and there also. I'm really getting back into the breeding. I built a system in the basement that's really helping me out, but I'm back to spending 40+ hours a week on the fish.
I'm also looking for a place of my own. I had a huge argument with my mother a couple weeks ago. It's time to get out of here. I stopped drinking, because I was afraid of what I would end up saying to her once I had a buzz...didn't work out...she came home drunk and started it. I'd been looking off and on for the last couple months, but now I'm really concentrating on it. I wanted to be out by the end of the month, but it looks like it'll have to be next month.
I was planning to let the pics page fade out now that this board has a place for pics, but I'm still getting pics emailed, so I guess I'll keep it going. I started adding new pics tonight, and I'm on here grabbing more.
I'm still here! I'll get some new pics of my hair up soon. I had it trimmed to even out the back, and would like to see what it looks like back there! LOL I'm about 2" from where I was, but it's much easier to care for.
I've found that I'm having serious itching problems when I use conditioner on the unbleached hair, so I've stopped using conditioner for the most part. I just spray a bit of Jojoba oil mixed with geranium oil on the ends now. It's really doing well. I still use conditioner on the ends, but infrequently.
I've also lost 20 lbs. over the last 6 months, and my hair/skin is much oilier since losing it. I feel much better without the extra weight; much more energy! Just not enough time to do everything I want. One day...
K, now I'm running off at the mouth. Back to the books!
I know what that studying marathon is like! It can be tough but I think you're right to take some breaks. It is interesting that you mention itching in association with conditioner. I never thought of that as a possible cause. You will have a lot of fish tanks to move! Is it difficult to find a place that is suitable for the fish as well as you? Thanks for maintaining the picture page and thanks for the update, I look forward to your progress pictures.
Glad you're still around, though I'm sorry to hear about your deal with your mom.
Good luck with finals, and good to see you again!
That "Ball" Guy
Hey, nice to see your still there. You prolly dont remember me but anyways... I think this is the first time we get to see what you look like:)
But speaking of pics, I should really get some new ones taken, since its been about 4 months since the last ones. Anyways keep up the good work with the site.
Good to hear from you..... we've been missing your wisdom, but figured it had to do with your heavy schedule and end of semester exams.
Good Luck with your move I am sure a little time and distance will heal any hard feelings between you and your mother.....wish we could all "come over" and help with the fish tanks ! HA! Wouldn't that surprise "Mom"?? if 40 or 50 long-hairs showed up at her door !! HA!
Keep in Touch !!
