Hair...or the lack thereof

I officially have bald spots. Ed and Lydia G. both confirmed that I had a thin spot on the back top part of my skull, but today, I saw bald spots on each side of my head near the back. Now, you would think that with all the hair that's appeared in the shower, on the floor, on my pillow, and in the sink (as well as all over the house), I would have been prepared for this. NOT!! I didn't think I would be able to see it unless I held a mirror up to the back of my head and looked, and I hadn't decided if I really wanted to do that or not. I guess that decision is moot at this point.

I almost started to cry when I saw the first one and really had to stop myself from bawling when I saw the second one, but I realized that if I started crying, I'd never get myself together in time to get out the door for the bus, so I sucked it up. I don't know whether I'll be able to assimilate this sight before I break down or if a breakdown is inevitable. I'll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, I apologize for not being as prompt as usual in getting back to those who have e-mailed me this week. It's been a little crazy at work (believe it or not), but I have read and saved your messages and I will be getting back to you soon. I promise!!
