I know, I know, I haven’t posted in days. That’s good news, y’all! Honestly, I feel good, I’m eating, I’m sleeping, the job is going well, and the dog has finally stopped shedding enough hair to knit a sweater. See? Life is good. I have learned that if I keep Tylenol or Motrin in my system all the time, I feel better: No aches, not much coughing, throat is less sore (yes, I still have that). Still no cravings, either, although mashed and baked potatoes (not together) taste very good to me. Hmmm… maybe together would be good, too.

I’ve been wearing my wig to work and around town. It generates far less attention than hats and scarves, allowing me to fly under the radar. I’m a blonde now, which people seem to like. I haven’t been naturally blonde for many years, but hey, I may go back if I ever get hair again! I have learned that whether it’s homegrown or not, “bad hair days” still happen. Who’d a thought?? Oh, and something else: now that the weather has cooled, when I go “au naturel,” my poor bald head gets downright cold! Many thanks to Darlene at Lovely Lady in Cary for her advice and skill at making this wig look natural.

There are so many people to thank for their assistance on this journey; there are many, and I hope they know who they are. Some folks I lean on a little, others I lean on a lot; it just depends on what I need at the time. Every bit helps, and I am grateful you are here.  ¶ 2:36 PM
