Yikes keboroxu, that sounds un-fun! I had some scalp cutting done last summer, not something I want to repeat. Worst part was assistant #5 for the day decided it would be good to spray-glue a chapel veil of bandage material onto the entire top of my head. With water-insoluble epoxy. What was she thinking? After unsuccessful shampoos, had to work a hundred little hanks clean with acetone.

Just checking in with no good news from New Mexico. Miserable weather, very hot days punctuated by violent storms and a few power outages.

Foot-dragging by every firm associated with the house closing, 'not sure if it will be funded on closing day'.   

Cannot request electric service because 'address not in service area', because no one ever bothered putting an actual address in the database for the meter (keep in mind the property changed hands one year ago), and the comcast-like utility requires documents to prove their meter goes with this address which is 'not in their system'. Have requested help from the people who can/should help, no reply.

Thought I could at least go buy a bedstead at a nice used furniture store I scouted a month ago. Drove 60 miles to find it locked up on an 'open' day, during 'open' hours. Then while in the city found a good mattress on sale, but not in stock. I could give them money right then, or pay 30% more next week after sale is over, and make another trip to get it. Well, what's the point. I might find a bed at a garage sale that is a different size anyway. And may need to buy a mattress from a store that doesn't overcharge in the first place.

Sorry to vent, but that's what's up around here. Hoping this feeling of uneasiness lets up soon.
