Today is Monday and now my hair is beginning the slow but steady process of leaving my head. All weekend the scalp has really been hurting. Very touchy. Now when I run my fingers through my hair more and more hair is there. It is scary no matter what. I have prepared myself for this, but feel the pity-party will happen soon. I will make an appointment. to get it shaved real soon. I will go to bed with this cap on my head that the American Cancer Society gave me the day I went looking at their wigs. Which, by the way, are free. So are the head caps, beanies and so much more. I don't want to walk around and watch it just start falling out. I really would be upset to see my family pull pieces out of their food. That is truly a turn off. The earliest will be tomorrow afternoon. In the morning is my blood work and then, of course, I need to pick up a few grocery items. Not a big list , or so I say right now. I will look different for several months and look forward to seeing the first stubbles of new growth. I already mentioned to my children about my hair. They have never seen their momma so out of place. I have never worn a lot of makeup or had the  newest hairstyles, but have always looked neat in appearance. But I do have some really cool head coverings and two wigs. The little beanies my youngest has claimed for when I no longer need them. He said they look like something a  pirate would wear. Around the house I will wear the beanies but out in public will wear the wigs. Only the people that know me will know the difference. We all could pass people in the store and never know if they are wearing a wig. Anyway, life goes on and so does a new day. I will wake up in the morning and check it out, then start my day.  Hope you have a good day, too. My faith will keep me strong and my family will make me smile. Life is good.
