Dear Me,
You don't like short hair, so stop cutting it off. I know you see your short-hair photos and think you like it, but it sticks up 90% of the time and requires more time to deal with than just washing the long hair and combing it out does.
Also, you have fall allergies. I can't remember if we had them last year, but we do this year. So next year, don't spend the first week drinking soup, convinced you are fighting off a cold. Just, take the allergy meds and get on with things.
