@kmakm no wonder you feel like you are running on empty! It never ceases to amaze me, the level of resilience some people have, you sound like you are doing a fantastic job under very trying circumstances. It is just not bloody fair, but what can you do but keep plodding.
A large G&T is a perfect accompaniment to head shaving. I got to the stage last year of marching around town totally bald when I was staying with my partner who lives 100 km away. I wasn't going to meet anyone I knew, so stuff it. Quite liberating really.
@Mollygirl, I know what you mean! I've kept mine super short(#4 and #6 clippers) because I can't stand the sight of it when it gets any longer. Grey frizz. Apparently it suits me, which is just as well because I can't bear the thought of growing it out. One good thing, the clipper cut only costs $15 :)
