my hair is falling down, falling down, falling down

Well, it has been a little over 2 weeks, and the hair started falling off yesterday. I don't have any bold spots yet, but it is thinning fast. I am waiting, trying to decide when it will be time to let the kids have the scissors :).. To make it "fun" for them, I promised that they could "cut" my hair before their father shaves it off, so almost every other day I am being asked when it will be time. Probably another day or so.. we'll see..
Since the beginning I have known that it would fall off, and it didn't bother me to think about it, but as it is happening right now it is kind of depressing, having bunches of hair in your hand when you run your fingers through it... But I will NOT let this get me down, I am more than my hair :)..

I guess more than the physical look, it is the fact that it will be "real" when I look in the mirror. Well, you could argue I have another "thing" or the lack thereof that reminds me that it is "real".. but I don't see that very often. And with the mastectomy bra and the prosthetic breast I got last week, I actually feel pretty good. It is much better than the "sponge boob" that I had gotten before I left for Houston, it doesn't creep up my shirt, I don't have to push it down everytime I turn my back to my students :)

Anyway, that's it for this weekend.. I was tired yesterday, spent most of the day in bed watching netflix. but I feel better today.. have tons of grading to do.. so I better go and start it..
