After Friday's post, I met a friend in NW Portland and we did some hat shopping. I thought I'd better have a few caps at the ready for my impending baldness...
But my hair stopped falling out, and I was thinking to myself, "My hair is pretty thick...it could be a while before this is realllllllllly noticeable."
And then last night it started coming out again at a pretty good pace. While I don't think it's necessarily "noticeable" right now, it is going to be sooner than I would like. (So I guess my reaction wasn't as over-dramatic as I was feeling like it might have been...)
I am still sad, but the tears have subsided quite a bit from Friday's initial shock. I guess I'm in the "acceptance" phase of my hair-loss-grief...but vanity is a hard thing to let go of! Add to that a pretty nasty breakout I'm in the middle of right now and I'm annoyed...but this too shall pass!
This weekend was pretty mellow--Friday after hat shopping we had dinner with friends. Saturday morning O and I walked around the neighborhood and then he went to "party" with his Dad and I did my "real" walk. It was a beautiful sunny day.
It's tough to complain about having to walk when I get to look out over the City.
After my walk, I went to a lovely baby shower for a friend, and then we took O over to his Granny & Poppop's house so he could play with all the new toys they've been getting for him. He spent the night, so G & I went to "The Hangover II." Another movie to escape from reality, made slightly less of an escape thanks to this trailer being shown before the film: http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=5050.
Sunday was a lazy day since we didn't have to get up with a toddler. I worked in the yard, and then my parents and sister came over for dinner.
And now begins another week!! Still no major nausea to report, which makes me very happy. So now it's time for my oatmeal and some water so I can get down on that elliptical trainer and EXERCISE!
