Specific instructions

It's been ridiculously hot these days. I'm thinking very wistfully about those Calgary days of -22 degrees where everything was covered in snow. It's impossible to keep my hair down because I get sweaty and it sticks to my neck in the most uncomfortable of ways. So, I have to keep it tied up all the time.

I did also figure that it was time to get my hair cut. If I put it off any longer, I might be too uncomfortable to go out and get it cut. Off I went to my trusty hairdresser of more than ten years. As usual, he asked how I wanted it cut. My instructions were,

1. Cannot cut too much off because I still need to tie it.
2. Don't cut all off because then, yes, it'll be cool now but later when I deliver, it'll be too hot and it'll be at an odd length and I won't be able to tie it up.
3. Don't layer it too much because when it grows out, it'll be out of shape and I won't have time to go back to get it reshaped.

At the end of all that, my hairdresser looks at me very resignedly and raises two fingers separating them ever so slightly and saying "1 inch?" and proceeds to lope off all of that inch. And this is a real 2.5 cm inch, not the fake 1 inch that my sister-in-law uses to con my niece into loping off her mane of hair. He must think all pregnant women are crazy in their demands. Want to cut hair. But cannot cut too much. But then cannot cut too little. Crazy hormonal women!

But at least I'm happy. :)
