@Locksley yum, potato cake with salt!! You've now got me thinking of gems & gravy 🤤 Thanks for the giggle re aqua aerobics!
Last Friday my hair started coming out in clumps, and I was leaving pube confetti on the toilet (haha TMI, but it gave me the giggles for some reason). By Saturday afternoon I looked like a mangy dog, with weird bald patches on my head. Gave a nod to the husband and said "I think it's time". The kids both had a go with the clippers, much to their delight. My daughter gave me the haircut from Raya and the last Dragon. We shared a tear or five and now I've a full nude nut.
It's taking a little getting used to - have jumped at my reflection a couple of times! It feels amazing in the shower and I'm slowly figuring out head covers. I'm very grateful to my parents for giving me a well shaped noggin. The kids have forgotten about shaving my husband's head - which I'm secretly happy about as I prefer him with hair ☺️
I went to a Look Good, Feel Better workshop which was wonderful. I can't recommend enough - the facilitators are lovely and it was so great to meet a lovely group of ladies. You get some skin care and make up goodies and get shown how to use them. They also gives tips on wigs and show you a few scarf ties. It was my first proper 'outing' with no hair and it was such a supportive place to be.
Had my 2nd AC the day after that, talk about going from a high to a blergh. Definitely finding it rougher on the second one, I now see how it accumulates 😭 At least I know what to expect now. And I'll be on my "good" week for the last week of school holidays - hoping to get some fun stuff in with the kids.
