Positives for 10/7

1. Haircuts. I don't get them as often as I should, but I always feel so much better afterward. The gray lining in my silver cloud: the tech wasn't particularly careful with the tissue paper and cape, so the collar of my shirt is loaded down with hair clippings. It itches a bit.
2. Hot tea. I'm not a big tea drinker, but I've been using it to help me relax before retiring for the night. Sleepytime Plus, chamomile tea with valerian. Michelle and I have made it an evening ritual to wind down our evening with hot tea before bed, and I've come to look forward to it.
3. I've discovered the value of resale. The Savers store near my office is clean, well-lit, and very organized, managed by someone who obviously gives a damn. (The Independence store is slovenly.) More often than not, they don't know the value of what they're selling. I stop in at least twice a week and hit furniture, electronics and miscellaneous, bedding, and fashion accessories, always looking for pretty much the same stuff, and about half the time I find "it." This week, I found three belts that as a young ren performer I would have killed to own. Altogether they cost me twelve dollars; offered on the website, they'll bring me somewhat more than that. Costume pieces for sale that I didn't have to build. Joy.
