I had an interesting day yesterday. I started out coloring my hair. At the end I do a shampoo cap, where shampoo is mixed into the color for the last five minutes. I did that. Applied some…then took some more, hmmmm, it looked like straight shampoo, but I had mixed it…oh well…

It turned out OK, but I missed 3 clues: bottles are similar but not identical; caps are not similar at all; and hello! it was straight shampoo. When I noticed, I completed using the right bottle, but of course, it was super diluted.

A friend said to me:

Sounds like a day when you couldn’t take the hint.

That just struck me as funny, especially since my hair had turned out OK.

Later I ran an errand to get something. The thought came to call to see if they were open. (I didn’t call. Even when I thought to call from my cell phone. I got sidetracked, which isn’t unusual.) Well, they were open, but they didn’t have what I went for. (I ran another errand at the same time so it wasn’t a total lost cause.)

It struck me as funny again. Remember when I posted that God still speaks to us even if we don’t listen? I don’t know if I would have thought to ask them if they had what I was going for, even if I had called. But at least it was a broad hint that the errand wasn’t going to accomplish much. I was more aggravated at myself than the store.

As I said, it really was a funny day, and I enjoyed it, oddly enough. I was glad I wasn’t hit over the head — that made me laugh too. And, of course, I was glad my hair turned out at least 1/2 way decent.
