Hair today...

Yay! I finally have something to write about ~ I'm losing my hair! And here I always thought it would be our teenager that would make this happen. Just kidding, Phil is a wonderful teen ~ nay, a man in teen clothing.

Suddenly! This morning in the shower a great glob of hair gathered at the drain, plus more as I combed.  Dr. Ahn said there would be days like this. Actually, he told me that I may lose the hair around the bottom of my scalp, and that's where it's coming (going?) from.

On the bright side, my left cheek is as smooth as the day I was born :) No facial hair that I can see.

I'm losing hair~
it will come back.
I'm losing taste~
it will come back.
I'm losing voice~
it will come back.
I'm losing cancer cells~
it better not come back!


My friend Jill has organized my limo service which kicks in next week. I had hoped to drive myself longer but the doc is putting me on narcotics soon and says I can't drive when I'm on 'em. It should make for some dreamy trips down the Schyulkill! On the other hand, if I drove on drugs, I would be like 25% of the other drivers. Many heart-felt thanks to my Drivers.  <3  (that is the symbol for a heart, Aunt Sue & Mom!)

Today's trip should be interesting. I'm watching the snow fall & the cars crawl. My appointment is at 11:30 ~ think I'll be leaving soon with my empty Ragu jars!

Update:
T'was a slow but easy ride down & back from the city. I saw several cars in ditches and one over-turned truck. The good news is, I did not have to use my "equipment". No lady-like Ragu jars for me; I brought a honkin' big Tupperware vat.

  3. Can NOT WAIT for next in the series! Am stuck without anything particularly interesting at the moment....between books I guess. How 'bout you? Perhaps I'll get a good read or two for Christmas. Busy time for me between now and then, swim meets...planning for year end close...holiday prep. Not complaining, just not much time for reading. Finding plenty of time for wine. Your wine days are getting closer every day! One day, they'll replace those narcotics that limit your ability to drive...oh, wait...no drinking and driving either...what WAS I thinking?! Be careful out there!

    1. Yay for future Wine days! (and not driving)

      Yes, this is a busy time of year. I still luxuriate in a page or two at bedtime though. Right now I'm reading "The Power of One", by Bryce Courtenay, lent to me by Martha, my other fellow reader. It's a good story with lots of interesting characters. I've gotten many laughs from it.

      Thanks for your encouragement :)

  5. Everyone should be so graceful.

    So glad you did not gush upon the Big Ragu.

    1. Gosh, my Mom was always graceful. It's wonderful to think I have a modicum of it!

      "Oh please Lord, no gushing on the S. Expressway" is my prayer.

      I will concentrate on being well, sweet & funny ~ my favorite things.
