Hair Again, Gone Tomorrow

Sunday, January 19, 2014

My hair is still short from my first run in with the clippers back in June but it was growing into a cute pixie cut. I've been embracing this whole heartedly despite never having hair this short.

Enter in my new treatment plan. My hair is now making a swift exit and leaving a trail behind. I've been laughing it off for the past month but today it got to me. Standing in the shower, I look down and wonder why the water is suddenly pooling around my ankles. I don't have long hair to stop the drain anymore. Oh. OH. I come to the realization that it is now my short hair stopping the drain. I bend down and pull out enough hair to make a fur coat for a mouse. Eek!

Today

And so here it is over a week later. I've been meaning to finish this post but the words just wouldn't come. I got to Thursday night and as I lay in bed I rolled over and it was like a golden retriever had rubbed herself on my pillow. My mouth and nostrils filled with blonde hairs, I had had enough. It was time. Friday morning came and I told husband today was the day. He agreed. I was overdue. I was fighting a losing battle. And so we shaved my head again. The pile of hair this time was alarmingly small.

Here I am again. GI Jane-ish. Except this time I look a little more tired and a little more bald.
