Travels and Excitement

On Friday, goodbyes were said for the last time and I drove from Killarney to Gunnedah to stop over night with friends before finishing the journey on Saturday. I have yet another first on for this year that was unexpected and occurred while I was having a pit stop on the QLD border town. I was just finishing up in my cubicle when a mother came in a struck up a conversation with her daughter that went something like this;

Mum "Hey baby, are you alright?"

Child "I can't open the door"

Mum "Can you stand on tippy toes?"

Child "I still can't reach"

I observed that while the doors went from floor to ceiling, the wall between our cubicles had a 2 foot gap at the top. I suddenly interrupted the mothers growing panic attack and offered to climb over the wall and let her out. I did pretty easily and opened the door (happily I remembered to open my toilet door first) the little girl was fun and the mother was almost collapsing in relief.

I can honestly say that it was a highlight for me and not exactly something I expected to ever do.

Hair

I have hair... Surprised? I guess not. I have never dyed my hair in my life because I like it the way it is. I have shaved it all off for a cure because I figure you need to do that at least once and it is better to do it younger then older.

This year, I have had a few firsts, first time away from home for extended periods of time, first time on a plane, first ever big mac and now... first ever time seeing somebody get streaks in their hair and then, first time getting this done.

I allowed 2 teenage girls paint my hair blue and wrap it up in foil... it took so long for it to finish washing the excess out and it dyed part of my fringe blue as well, but at least none of it went green. Since I let them dye my hair we are calling it quits for all the times they ended up having cold showers.
