Haircut and furnace fail


I can't remember if I've still been posting haircuts or not, but I did give myself one yesterday. I used a #2 instead of the 1. Since it's getting colder, and our furnace quit working again, it helps to have even a 1/4 inch more on the head. Also, I don't know if I've been noting this either, but I've started shaving along the top of my forehead, rounding out a more definitive hairline. I think it possibly gives the appearance of more hair on the top of my head (at least from the front), or maybe it's all in my head.

One thing I've recently noticed though, or noticed more, is this crease in the back of my head - right where I'm balding. I don't know if it's getting worse or I just notice it more, but it looks kind of like a butt on the back of my head. So, great.... I'm a real butt-head now. I guess it's just one more thing I'm learning to live with. Jane doesn't like it when I shave my head, or even cut it with the #1, but to me the way it is now makes the crease stand out even more. It's almost like I'm highlighting for all the world to see, "Here's the butt in my head!" But.... (ba-dum-bump).... I can only see it if I look in mirror so.... I won't.

In other news, the furnace started acting up again last night, so I just shut it off. I was sitting in the recliner watching football and I noticed it turning on and off a lot and making funny noises. I thought that was weird since it wasn't all that cold outside. So I went in and watched it, and it appears there is either something up with the thermostat, or possibly the igniter/heat exchange area. There is definitely a breakdown in communication somewhere and it seems to be confused about what it's supposed to do. So, we will go without the furnace for a few days and I am going to have to suck it up and call a repair person tomorrow.
