Preparing my soul against rain.

It has rained all day and it will continue for some days according to what they say. This depresses me a lot so I decided to do something about it. I´m thinking about preparing something yummy for dinner. Maybe a leche flan or some French toasts. I don´t want any salty food so I voted against grilled cheese sandwiches. But what makes me totally happy is that I dyed my eyebrows. It has taken me time and money to buy the right product. But still it is much more cheap than to go to the beautician and I don´t need to do anything to my hair yet. It should have taken me 20 minutes but for some reason I spent an hour in it. I had to turn the heater towards the bathroom and pray that I would not put dye inside my eyes. I didn´t. My eyebrows are not as wonderful as they were decades ago, befores the chemotherapy destroyed my skin and hair. But they were almost all white and now they are a beautiful dark brown color. And best of all, I learned how to do it so I can do it again. This is a mayor saving for me. I don´t like white hair in my head so going to a hairdresser has to be done every 2 or 3 months at least. But I have noticed lately that there is always something more important than the hairdresser every month. First it was Luna´s grooming (she needed it more than I did). Then I had to pay some taxes. And finally this month Leticia had some big money problems when one of her brothers died and I wanted to help her out a bit. Next month I will probably go to the hairdresser. On June it is my birthday and I will see if the hair can "wait" another month or if I want to do something about it for the occation. Anyway, my "new" eyebrows deleted my rain depression. It can rain all it wants outside.

I have "salt and pepper" hair but my eyebrows are still dark brown, no need to dye for the moment.

Something happened to my hair and eyebrows after chemo. I had dark brown eyebrows and they were quite nice. Not anymore. But yesterday I managed to help them a bit.

@marguicha I am fine not dying my hair, but I like the eyebrows of my natural brown color.

If I don´t desperatly need it, I´ll wait for July or August. The fee is over a week of groceries.

@just4him It is. I´m very happy that I discovered how to dye my eyebrows. Maybe now I can go to the beautician twice in a year.

I doubt that anything is as wonderful as it was decades ago. lol I guess I might as well go gray. The color of my hair right now is mousy and unattractive. Happy Birthday ahead of time.

I have been able to accept wrinkles and arthrosis. But white eyebrows is not my idea of beauty.

@wolfgirl569 It took me a lot to discover how to dye them and I even bought some things that were not good. But now, after yesterday, I am a pro. I can dye them whenever the white hair appears.

My hair will have to wait. I don´t have money for it now. The beautician does a wonderful job but it is too expensive.
