At the end of the visit, she gave me a steep discount and let me know they had a seven day “come back and we’ll fix it” policy. Very suspicious, in hindsight. 🤨

Ah, well! Life goes on.

That’s great news! I hope this surgery brings you a lot of relief 🫂

Agreed! And I learned today that she spent the first 1/8 of her life in Germany, and when her family moved to the US, she was the one responsible for teaching them English! She still knows how to read, write, and understand German too.

Aren’t they nifty? Yeah these are little attachments that go over the miniature Christmas light bulbs, and it even came with replacements of those bulbs as well just in case. I would love to get some yellow bubble lights too, so I’m gonna keep my eye out at thrift and antique stores for a set.

Those are my favorite kind of ornaments! I love them so much. I’ve not been able to afford an actual antique set, so I got a nice new set of small ones from Germany. But if I hold onto them long enough, they’ll become antique won’t they? 😆

Haha thank you! 😂 what a funny and creative song

The senior lady compliments me quite a bit, and I think I probably work harder/smarter than anyone she’s employed before, but I can’t help it! This is just how I am, I enjoy this kind of thing. 💪

I definitely feel you! I kinda had similar goals. I wanted my curls to have a little more bounce, but the shape is just entirely different and not flattering for my face. Much empathy! Our hair will grow, we will be ok again. Hang in there, friend! 🥲 🫂

Yeah, the whole thing was an overstimulating blur and she was talking at me the whole time so I was not able to pay attention well… very frustrating. But thankfully hair grows!
Thanks, Helen, I’ll be alright soon.

Yikes, I’m very sorry that that happened to you! Sounds like you definitely understand firsthand..

It’s frustrating. The whole visit was pretty fast paced and overstimulating, so I didn’t realize the damage that had been done until I got home and gave it a wash, but of course by then it’s too late.

I always go with photos and I was very specific about what I wanted

This is nothing that I did wrong, she just pretended that she knew how to cut curly hair when she really didn’t know how

She was able to hide it by diffusing my hair and using a lot of product

I know this isn’t life-altering on a global scale, but it also genuinely impacts my day, my sensory load, and how I feel in my own skin. That’s not nothing.

I know that people with curly hair can empathize with me, but also people with autism. The hair just sits on my head and neck awful and sadly because she shortened it all there’s nothing I can do with it until it grows out for several months. I wish I wasn’t so affected by these kind of things.

I thought I could escape it you know, chatting with my aunt on the phone regularly, because she’s not on social media, but they watch the news on their little TV and listen to the radio, so she keeps me updated whether I like it or not 😭
December 1, 2025 at 1:22 AM
I dunno her 😂

I refrigerate myself on the back porch a lot too, it is nice

Oh, phooey... well, if we get some, I'll send it your way! Snowy Christmases are always nice.
November 30, 2025 at 9:28 PM
My word!! And the car battery FROZE? Goodness me...
We used to get many feet of snow back when I was a kid too. It's different now, but I still like seeing the white stuff sometimes. 😊
November 30, 2025 at 8:52 PM
Mhmm, there's a lot of truth to that. Some friendships are only for seasons, it's okay.
