On Friday, I bought some curl enhancer.
This seems like such a small detail, an insignificant part of my life, but it isn't. My hair (which has never really behaved) had become so unmanageable from the humidity that I had to get something to somewhat tame it.
So I have curls: soft, wavy thick ringlets that bounce and hover about my face.
There wasn't enough moisture in the Alaskan air to achieve such curls.
But there were other things that - for some reason - I hopelessly miss today.
I miss the mountains.
I miss eating good Chinese food.
I miss my funny-looking house, filled with my things.
I miss hiking with my friends.
Why is this so painful?
It's a rhetorical question, of course. I don't have an answer.
This is not to say that Wisconsin isn't a nice place. There's cheese. Brats. Some family. Arthur loves his school and is excelling in Spanish and English. Pilates. Biking. (And I have bouncy hair!)
Today I am not so happy.
I hope I will be happier tomorrow.
Blessed be.
