Progressing well today.
I did some planning while enjoying my tea and chocolate out on the balcony. That's the first time I could do so this year, the weather is finally warm enough, although it clouded over and I found it cooling off toward the end of my time out there.
I have a long list for the day including mani/pedi (I do these myself) and henna in the hair (it is there right now and I need to rinse out in a few minutes.) I've taken off the old nail polish, treated cuticles, did some 'sanding' of the ridges in the toe nails and am testing out the nail strengthener recommended to me. I can't get a semi-matte clear polish but in Toronto the beauty supply lady suggested this. If I put on a thin coat it is perfect. And I just tested and I can put on a second layer and it is still good. If it goes on thick, it is OK but not really what I was looking for.
After I rinse my hair, I'll do the rest of the nails and then test it for durability over the next few days. The super cheap Sally Hansen clear polish ($5) I also bought in Toronto lasted for over a week on my hands. That's a record for me and included cleaning the kitchen and day of dusting/vacuuming/mopping, plus care of dgs. So it isn't as if I was sitting quietly while being waited upon.
My big goal for the day is the report for the church. I read the source material for that while on the balcony and I'm 'writing' it in my head as I do other things right now.
I have 14 other items on my to-do list. Plus to do my SHE cards. Obviously, not everything will get done. Report, henna and mani-pedi seem like a full day to me!
