Preparing myself

My hair is falling out. I am trying to wrap my brain around that. I, who have always had thick beautiful hair, may actually go bald. It's terrifying. My hair is my best physical feature. I really don't know if my already low self esteem can handle this.



So next weekend I'm going hat shopping. I always hated myself in hats. I'm looking for a baseball cap. Wind is not my friend. I need a cap to wear on weekends, to picnics and anything outside. I'm also going to try on other kinds of… Continue

A Little Random

So I figured out that German Blood is stronger than Alopeica. Even though I have had Totalis since I was one year old. I went last week for my first laser hair removal treatment. Even though I can not grow hair on my head arms or legs or even eyebrows. I sure can on my chin. And the fact that i am half black I cant shave it cause of theese stupid dark spots and bumps that develop. So after a year of research and dr appointments i went a had it done.

More than me…

I can't just leave it down all of the time, California is too too warm for that! My variety of headbands is wide and I have a hat or two to use on those days I feel particularly lazy.

It IS a Small World After All

So since I'm moving out of state, I've been calling everyone and making plans to see people before I go. So I just called the mother of a girl I used to babysit for since she was an infant. She's now 14 and I've stayed close with her and her family. I hadn't spoken to them since like Christmas time, so this family is about the only people in the world I had not yet told about my Alopecia. So I made plans to go see them Sunday. Before hanging up I said (to the mother), "I should prepare you for… Continue
