I am starting a journel for the first time.  This could be very cool.  I hope I am doing this in the right place.  If not, feel free to direct me.  My hair/scalp are having some unpleasant issues today.  I tried a cheap shampoo and my scalp is paying the price.  Psorsis is not happy  .  I was wanting to go cheap cuz I hoping for excellent results, minimal price. 

I found out my dad turned his drivers license back to the state last week.  He has dementia, and was having trouble.  He was getting lost frequently, going down one-way streets the wrong way, and other things.  I felt sad cuz his being able to drive was a freedom for him.  Now, he has to depend on others.  This also means he getting older, and I have never viewed him as aging.  Maybe its harder for to accept that it is him.

Hi Debr:

Sorry to hear about your dad.  But I'm glad he decided to give up his license before someone was injured.

Take care,  Rebecca

Journel entry time  . Ahhhh---much happier scalp now.  I went back to using the porosity yesterday. No itchy scalp today.  Evidently, I had been scratching in my sleep cuz there are some little scabs on my scalp and they hurt.  I know that in a day or two those will heal also.  My hair growing like crazy.  I noticed in the mirror this morning that it now covers the bottom of my t-shirt again. I am hoping to be back to panty-line length by the end of August.  I cant wait to measure again.  According the morroco method, I will be doing another cut on or about the 24th of Sept.  I have been being a little wishy-washy with myself as to how much I plan to take off.  But I think it will still be only an 1/2 inch. The ends and general body are very healthy now and really dont need much taken off.

The weather is dysfunctional here and  I have a sinus headache today.  I wish it would either rain or sun.  Debr

Hi Sakina, thanks.  Dad didnt willingly do this.  It has taken him almost a year to confront his problem.  Until he acquired some other issues hearing loss, aging eyesight, prostrate cancer, etc.  He wasnt willing to accept his dementia.  Now it is all kinda coming at him at once  .  Dad is going to be 78 in Sept, I know there are people older than he is still driving, but his driving skills were going down hill rapidly.  I am glad for his sake he is off the road.

Sinus pressure is going away now.  Probably by tomarrow headache will be all gone.

Journel entry #5,  Boy was I sick yesterday  .   My sinus headached returned in full force and went to migraine level including vomiting.  I woke up at 3am w/the headache, then at 5am, I started the vomiting routine.  Missed church yesterday morning but went last nite.  Probably shouldnt have as the the lites really bothered my eyes, so several times I closed my eyes and held my head during the service.  Pastor Johnson and members of the congregation prayed for me and I slept well last nite and I am much better today  . 

Scalp is finally better today also.   Oiled Sat nite and did the regular routing Sunday afternoon.  Going back and forth w/the idea of "to poo, or not poo" that is the question.  So on we go.

Entry #7,  Happy July 4th!!!!!  .  Everything hair is doing nicely today.  I made a mistake last nite.  I accidently combined one of my best shampoos with my best conditioner.  I am not sure how I managed to do that  .  So, I just decided it could become a 2 n 1, and this morning I used it to see if it would work that way.  Did the ususal routine, and my hair nor scalp are finding any problems with it.  I did notice tho the ends needed to be oiled as they were a little drier.  So, I put some evoo on my hand, rubbed them together, then applied it to ends only.  So far, so good  .

Journel Entry #9.  I am feeling overwhelmed today.  Lots of emotion  .  Dad is getting worse very quickly.  My brother, Praise God for a brother who has the ability to deal with financial matters, is taking over the financial stuff for dad.  Van is helping dad put his house up for sale.  The house is the home where all of us kids grew up so there is emotional attachment for Van too.  This is really getting hard.  Dad seems to be withdrawing into hisself, while my mom on the other hand is getting beligerant.  She seems to think dad owes her a living even tho they have been divorced for about 30yrs.  Praise God I can turn Him cuz I am not sure how long I culd last b4 I wuld be committed to the looney bin.  Dad keeps telling Van he only has about a year to live.  Van and I dont know where is getting this idea. 

I had to give up a job offer today also.  I just dont have the finances to get a CDL attachment to my drivers license or get my finger printing done.  So, I had to withdraw my application.  I know God is going to provide, everything just seems to piling up right now  .
