How Was Your Day Thread V5

[Danafox]

Parts of Arizona are already hitting the 120sF.
Coachella valley is going to hit the 115-118 F range this week.
Death Valley -- just dont go there right now. They're expecting 120-125F.

Drink lots of water folks, like, if you're going hiking bring a red wheelbarrow with a gallon jug or two. For the love of your life stay on the trail. You know what? Dont go out unless you have to. UV exists, despite what KESQ says so wear a hat and sunglasses and spf 3000. No, the woven straw hats dont offer uv protection, just tiny pits of shade. Some salty trail snacks and jerkies are okay, but don't over do it with them or you'll actually get heat-sick a bit faster.

It's only just begun....

Hubby was changed from his afternoon shift to a morning one and he was told to go to a new location for two days. He went and did his job, but since he's never been at this posting, he wasn't expecting to get sunburned at the job.

When he came home, he was burnt red all over his arms and half of the upper part of his face (thank god for the mask in a way). He was getting hot sun on him for 8 hrs straight from Miami Beach with no sunscreen on at all. I'm guessing it was probably 105-110 maybe more, I honestly don't know, but he was a tomato.

Now his skin is peeling and he also felt a bit of pain/sting from the whole thing, I bought him aloe cream and he's been using it and it's been helping a bit. The sunburn wasn't as serious as it could have been, but I got him sunscreen/aftersun lotions and all just in case.

Today is my boyfriend's surprise birthday party. His birthday was on Wednesday and everyone acted like it was no big deal, sans wishing him a happy birthday. No presents were given as it was a weekday and we all planned to celebrate it on Sunday. So he's been a bit mopey the actual day wasn't super fun, but little does he know that a friend and I have lured him to their house under the pretense of mulching the garden. He definitely won't be expecting me, as I said I would be busy today and would only be available Sunday... I'm very excited!

That sounds like it's going to be an awesome surprise. I hope it goes well!

Got my hair dyed. Definitely the craziest I've gone with it - a strong pink towards the roots, melting into blue/purple with purple on the layers underneath. Also got a full 7 inches cut off, and still had so much hair that two people were working on it most of the time. The lady doing it had to go in the back to get more dye 4 different times. It makes me feel awful for going to the shops to get it done. But the result was fantastic!

@Celery I hope you all have a wonderful time and I hope it cheers him up quite a bit! haha!

@Aneira Don't feel bad for going to the shops to get your hair done! You are paying for a service and they are happy to give it! And if you feel okay with it, ask if they have an instagram and take pictures of your results and let them post it! Sounds like you should be feeling more light (from the cut) and feeling gorgeous! Love all the pretty colors....I've been curious to do some colors like that on my hair, but I'm afraid due to my age it won't look good on me....maybe I can try just pink or just blue or stronger reds. I dye mine red all the time and looks great on me, but I want more eye popping red.

How can I make a glass turtle lineage if my turts won't breed

[Kestrad]

so i haven't had a magistream-themed dream in a while, but i had one last night. there was a competition going on at the keep for halloween, and it was centered around who could tell the best scary story, i think. but instead of just submitting stories, the dream was set in the keep and everyone who entered had to set up an interactive exhibit through which they would tell their story. some people did music, like me, and some were more impressive than others. kestrad ended up having the scariest story, about some hellhounds in a forest that wasn't quite what it seemed. i got to the exhibition late so i didn't get good seats, but it was packed and people were shaking with fear at the rendition. i don't know what to make of this.

...huh. I'm not very good at horror irl, because these days I just want soft fuzzies. I'm flattered your subconscious decided I would have the best exhibition, though! (But since you were the one dreaming it all, clearly that means you're actually the one who's best at horror exhibitions )

The Finland -Denmark football match was terrifying...

My sister texted me to ask who I would root for, and then followed up with "don't watch the match!" I can't believe they ended up finishing it.

This month started off so bad for us. My mom fell ill on 1st and had to get a mobile doctor service to get her checked over and get medicine prescribed. Then my hubby fell sick, then my dog had to go through stone in the bladder surgery. Since he is big (he's a German Shepherd) and he needed constant care, so as to ensure he does not break his stiches, injure the area), he had to be kept in the hospital kennel. He was there from 3rd and just got him home today. In between, I fell sick, but luckily, it was just a bad bad headache, probably because of all the stress and it went away after one day. My son was, as he is always, a blessing to me. If it weren't for him, I don't know if I could have gone through these days without going mad. Everything seems to be settling down now, my mom is ok, hubby ok, I'm ok and my four legged son is back home with me. I hope it stays that way because these 13 days were extremely hard on all of us

I did send pictures to the woman that did my hair. We opted not to blow dry it (I was there past closing and my hair takes ~30 minutes to dry xD) so she didn't get to see it dry in person. I feel much more light from the cut.

Do it! when I was experimenting and unsure what to do, I did bolder but still bordering natural reds. From there I kind of just went pink, because really, it's not that big of a change. Reds don't stick great/long to hair normally, so if I you don't like it and depending on your color, you'd only have to have it for a few months, if even. Don't worry about your age, do what makes you happy. It's just hair, you can always get it redone or it'll grow out eventually ~

Also, my mother is nearing 50, and she frequently dyes her hair. Granted it's going from black to bleach blonde, but she's occasionally use chalk or something in it to give her blue/pink/whatever highlights, and it looks great on her. In my opinion, it's just a great way to express your personality.

That sounds like an incredibly stressful two weeks. I hope all goes well from here on out and you get some well deserved rest.

haha yeah honestly the actual details are blurry but i remember showing up late, finding a seat, and whispering "who is this" to the mage next to me, who was terrified, and they told me it was you. i'd believe it.

June has been just... rough for me in general. We're having ANOTHER covid outbreak and now they're saying we will be in lockdown for another 2 weeks. We've been in lockdown since May 25th. Basically all businesses are closed except for grocery stores. I'm just so over it... I'm thankful that it isn't full lockdown though. I can still go to my friend's apartment for the moment. We got together on Friday and Saturday night to play card/board games.

A few weekends ago, I posted that my cat ran away from my friends house back home in the U.S. Well THANKFULLY the little shit found his way back a few days ago. Dirty, but otherwise unharmed. I cried. I love him so much, it killed me to leave him behind so I went through this whole spiral of "it's all my fault for abandoning him" when he ran away.
