I have learned something valuable that I would like to share with all of you.
If/When you decide to shave your head, don't hide it. Or maybe it's just me. I feel like a freak when I wear a hat. Like I'm not fooling anyone. And I'm not. Yes, I have very little hair on my head and yes, I'm a girl and yes, I'm wearing more makeup than normal.
That does bring up the fact that I'm very, very tired of making people turn around and give me a second glance. Being a "loud person" is different than being a wallflower and I am, indeed, a wallflower. I don't like to be noticed and it's getting tiring.
At the same time, I enjoy telling people what happened if they ask. That won't get old and a lot of people still ask even though I haven't worn my sign (I SHAVED MY HEAD - ASK ME WHY) this week. Met people who have lost their hair to cancer or know someone who has or just think it's cool and think I'm cool for doing it. Wanted to raise some more money this week but just too tired to try. Sad, I know. But I've raised almost $200 more since Zero Hour.
If you've read my Tweets over the past week, you might have seen that my coworker's son fell on a skateboard last Tuesday and ended up having brain surgery. The EXACT same thing happened to him that happened to Natasha Richardson and the doctors all told her that she's lucky to still have a son. He's doing really good, though. Pays to be 15 years old! She'll be back to work tomorrow after a week away and I think that will be good for her. To be able to get away from "reality" for a bit, even if it is just working.
I'm fighting something lately. Probably another sinus infection because I'm prone to headaches more lately. Whatever it is, it's running me down. This weekend I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted to. Bummer!
Oh - part of the reason is that I watched The Invisible... have you seen it? I liked it! Creepy but not creepy. Sad but not sad. Just... I don't know how to explain it. Not one of the best movies ever made but who am I to say what is good or not... I liked Twilight! *grins*
Have decided not to renew my paid subscription to LJ. Miss the pics but they're still there for the time being. Right now, it doesn't seem to affect me too much not to pay for LJ. It's not like I'm on here as extensively as I once was. It'll probably be okay. We shall see!
