I wonder if I have enough clothes on

elusivekThis morning we had some 20C and i was fine in my cardigan and a scarf. I heard it's now down to 14C outside so I'm not sure if I could brave the cold/wind/whatever and head on to school. Maybe I'll just head home? I don't know.
Another funny thing is I have again forgotten to put on my glasses. It was the weekend and I had contacts on, so I kept my glasses in the case. This morning as I headed out, I did not see any glasses on the desk, so I just assumed I had my glasses on and left home... and when I reached the casino where I work at, the building has got lots of mirrors on the exterior, I looked at myself and noticed... I had no glasses... so far it's been a tiring day.
I'm at my last 6-7k for NaNoWriMo. I believe I could finish it by Wednesday. But I shouldn't be boasting so much for now... just keep calm, and announce it when I'm done!.
And I went for a haircut yesterday! FINALLY! I asked the guy if he could chop off the remaining dyed hair I had and he did manage to chop them all off. Now my hair is my natural color again! With full of whites... which was another funny thing... when I told the guy to chop off all the colored hair, he said "it should be fine, I see you don't have much white hair anymore". I promised him that "I still have a lot of white hairs" but he didn't believe me.
After the cut, he looked at me, and said, "You have a lot of sneaky white hair hiding underneath," and my natural response was "see??"
Today I was again going through the course list for the subsidized courses by the Education department here, and still I couldn't find anything that is 1) worth my time, 2) interests me and 3) suits my schedule. My colleague then suggested I learn the piano again, but sadly we don't have a piano anymore. That is when my colleague told me about Digital Pianos... and now, THAT makes me want to learn again, because then I do not have time constraints on when to practice.
When I was learning the piano before, my mom banned me from practicing any time before 10am in the mornings, and any time after 8pm in the evenings. She quoted, "don't annoy the neighbours". Well, given that due to school, activities, and a social life, that just didn't fit my practice times. So... I quit. Actually, that's just reason number 2 why I quit... reason number 1 was... another story to tell....
With the digital piano, since I could practice with the headphones on, I could practice any time of the day i like!
So I started to check out schools, but it seems none or not much of them cater to adult learners. I finally found one, but the lady that answered the phone didn't seem too enthusiastic to answer my questions, so I also don't really want to go to that school. What a bother.
And still I have no target course to go to for those subsidized courses.....
Anyway, it's about time I left. Let me face the cold!
