Freaking Out
This morning, before the sun rose, I woke up to make a trip to the bathroom. This is a normal thing. I stand up, a little disoriented from the fact that I've just opened my eyes for the first time in several hours.

Hair Products
I'd been putting off getting a haircut for a while. Mostly because getting a haircut requires money, which is something of short supply most days. Anyway, the haircut was long overdue.
