It's coming out in hunks now when I run my hands through it. It's not like..'oh my hair is falling out', it feels like I've slept on it wrong and the roots are twisted the wrong way. So when I reflexively run my hand through... that particular section comes out and then I want to keep doing that to make sure to get it all.... and then I start getting depressed.
::sigh::
I don't think I was emotionally prepared sufficiently for this part. I think once I get it cut (that was supposed to happen today but it didn't) I might feel different. Having short hair fall out and five or six inch long tufts is a bit different. I'm going to need a softer brush as well the one I have is more for long hair.
Going to see if the local Haircutters (that is the name of the shop) will do it tomorrow night. I don't feel like waiting until I get to Amber on Tuesday.
I totally forgot to mention that to her when we talked about my brakes not being done today. She wants to save me money and let her do it, but at this point, I want it done..I'd rather shed short little hair than long hanks of it. Psychologically speaking, it's less an impact on me. Gee, and just in time for a cold rainy storm that just blew into town.
It's been blustery and cloudy all day today and just now it started hammering down rain. About time. I'm hoping that it continues tomorrow and I can stay home. Mission Valley is going to be flooded again tomorrow.
Oh, I planted a potato, tomato and a pepper plant this morning in our small 'window box'. Small red potato type, bush slicing tomato (Early Girl Bush type) and a 'Chile de Agua'. Which is a jalapeno type pepper (that's for Katie). Watered the soil really well, as it was parched dry after sitting fallow for almost a year. Have to remember to get pictures tomorrow when it's daylight. Had to put about six gallons of water on this planter to get it wet deep enough for the plants to survive. Gave them some veggie food as well, so here's hoping they're off to a good start. The potato plant already had some small nuggets on the roots already so that will likely be the first to harvest. Yay!
I needed something to take my mind off my hair.
Going to go hunker down in my nice warm bed and listen to the rain pounding outside, maybe knit a little and listen to my meditation music to relax. Last night I had a hard time falling asleep and then was woken by some stupid drunk guy outside yelling.
Remember that quote about courage? Yeah.... need to keep that in mind right now. And the silvery glitter bouncy ball. (which has turned kind of yellow now due to the plastic nature of it..)
All things age.
One bright note is... here's hoping my hair comes in thicker and maybe lighter than before. Right. With less grey.
Oh we're really dreaming now!
