I did not sleep well. I had dreams that I was given drugs that, in combination, could be fatal, and in my dreams I was throwing up blood as I tried to empty my stomach of the medicines which were poisoning me. YUCK!
My restlessness was caused by my anxiety about losing my hair, I think. And wouldn't you know it, it has stopped falling out. I have no idea what is up with that, but I will shave it today anyway...I'm tired of worrying and obsessing about it. I'm tired of being afraid of it. I wish it would keep falling out today in order to affirm my decision and make me feel more confident about it, but I am not able to choose the way in which my hair behaves (and this is no change from the usual, I think!). So, I say "HA!" to cancer and I shave my head when I choose. Today, in an hour.
Some friends will meet me in an hour at the salon. I'm about to pack my bag - one wig, one baseball cap (pink), one bandana, one cute hat, and washable markers.
I am certain that, despite my thinking and preparedness, I am ill prepared for this.
If I am strong enough, later today we'll go to Coleman Pool with Tessa and my parents. I will be the one in a swimsuit with a built in breast, and with a bald head. You won't be able to miss me.

Not to mention you'll be the cutest mom there! Like the fact that you packed lots of contingency items for easing into being a cute bald chick. Hope you sleep without awful dreams tonight.
Love,
