Welcome to my haircut blog. My back pain is minimal now, more a discomfort, really - and I was able to hobble on down to StreetFest for the remaining two days. The ill-gotten gains: A didgeridoo for me and one for Matthew, a flute and a quena for me, a loon call for Matthew and a sarong set for me. It's tie dyed two shades of blue - very beautiful and the sarong is so comfy. I'm going to make a few of my own. How easy!

In other news... another 5 lbs gone! I'm now down to 160. Hooray! I told you I'd only post every 5 lbs... and if I only post every week or so... this means you get weight news every 2 posts... well so be it! I made a 'legal' cheesecake yesterday.... my first attempt at something 'sweet' for a desert treat. It's yummy. I think it tastes great, M thinks it's a bit 'tart' for his taste... I guess not having sugar for 3 weeks will make anything taste sweet. Heh. I'll be making curried chicken at home tonight, though I discovered a new Indian restaurant in town! I'll have to check them out... no rice for me, though. This weight loss thing is working. I'm not going to mess with it. I want to be the same weight I was at 23. So far so good.

I finally got off my butt and worked with clay today. I built a coil pot that I will hopefully grow some herbs in over the winter. It's simple and wobbly, but it's my first one since about grade 3. I can't wait for school to start.

I'm tired, though... there's been a heat wave here the last week or so - it's been around 37 degrees Celsius every day. I'm enjoying it, but I think it's nap time... or soap milling time... we'll see.
