Finally, An Exciting Day

I went out today to get my hair cut. It’s the first time I’ve had my hair cut professionally in a year. I woke up early this morning, too excited to sleep.

I put on make-up. I chose my outfit carefully. I actually did not wear sweatpants. I put on real, big-girl jeans. I put on a nice sweater that I used to wear to teach in. I wore my London Fog trench coat, rather than the fleece jacket I’ve been wearing for months. I wore a little perfume. I had butterflies as I walked out the door.
