I need to trim my beard and shave my head. I don't like getting hair in my mouth, ears, or nose.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

The teeth hurt. The deep cleaning yesterday was hell. I don't know why the left side was so much worse but it was. The lady was kind about it but it was bad. She gave extra novacaine, so much my nose was numb.

But the teeth weren't somehow.

I'll need another root canal probably. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired.

I just did the semi-monthly trim and feel much better. Do it!

It's not about that so much as the temperature. I work outside a lot, so I let it grow out during the winter. Right now it is the only thing holding a blizzard back from our city. If I trim it we'll be buried in two feet of snow and then I will have to go out in that bare cheeked. So I keep it long until the spring.

Power was out for half the day :3.. ended up doing some reading, and crossword type stuff. And also a lot of looking into skateboards and adjacent activities/vehicles :3

I need to trim as well, but am trying to deal with it extra shaggy so I can hopefully fix the top line when it does get trimmed. One side is higher than the other. Even with all this, it's going to be messy this year I think before it gets long enough to go into the braid with the rest of the long. I'm also chewing in the mustache a lot since ive let the facial go overgrown as well so the head doesn't look too out of sorts being so long.
