The other week at Jocelyn's girls club they worked on a cake decorating badge. That night she came home with a cake called "Mom's Hair Cake"! It was to make me feel better about losing my hair! We had great fun eating the cake and admiring Jocelyn's cake decorating skills and thoughtfulness.

The thing about losing your hair is now you have to think about what to wear on your head - and you have to coordinate! There are now head scarves all over the house and the kids arranged them all on the floor this morning for me to see. Thank you to everyone who sent me scarves (I even got a Canadian Flag scarf in the mail yesterday!) and to Sue for sewing me some great ones! I have to admit though, at night I can't wait to take the scarf off to give my head a break, but it doesn't last long though because my head gets cold! Who would have thought having no hair also mean you'd lose all your heat! The other thing that is very strange about no hair is that you kind of forget that you have none. Sometimes in the shower I squirt out a very large amount of shampoo- for no hair. Then my hands automatically reach out for my once shoulder length hair to pile it on top of my head-ready for the big shampoo-and I find my self reaching for nothing! On the days that I am awake enough and remember the no hair thing my shower is done super quick!

The kids had fun trying on some head scarves this morning, giving us a cute fashion show.

I've been feeling a bit better this weekend, although I am still fighting a cough that bugs me the most at night. We go again on Wednesday for treatment #4.

Thanks for following along.
