Best quote from a patient yet (who happened to be a 14 year old girl, making this all the more hilarious to me):
"I like your haircut. You look like one of those pixies from A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The mere fact that I am drawing compliments from people is significant to me. It solidifies my inkling of a thought that perhaps a year of sleep deprivation is not healthy for the mind, body, soul, or outward appearance. And perhaps things are looking up in this department.
Yes, that's right, a certain adorable nugget of a one year old has slept through the night 4 nights in a row now. And that is all I will say about that, lest I jinks anything.
Needless to say, I've spent the past year feeling frazzled, exhausted, baggy-eyed, and at times, a downright frumpy shell of a person. I'm no fashionista to begin with, but I do enjoy looking put together and semi-stylish. Having a child certainly makes primping a challenge. And people, sufice it to say I am beyond low maintenance in this department. I have super short hair which requires at baseline 30 seconds of running my hands through it in the morning, and I don't wear a lick of makeup unless I'm going to a wedding. But having a child and being bone tired for a year makes looking bright-eyed and au courant an impossibility even for the most low-maintenance of primpers.
Could it be possible that I'm taking my first steps out of the dark land of eternal frumpiness and sleeplessness and emerging into the bright land of the living and fashionable?
