My home, the place where I know I can truly be myself is at the cabin. It is so peaceful, I don't have to draw on my fake face there, I don't even look in the mirror and I don't worry about what I look like, which lately with no hair, no eyebrows or lashes I'm feeling like a freak! And I hate to say that but I have no inner love for myself these days. Yesterday it was so hot and humid my face was running into my eyes, and stinging so bad and eyes watering I couldn't see to drive, I ended up wiping my fake face on the sleeve of my shirt and I hope it comes out in the wash. I have to get back to the cabin...

I am so lucky to have so many places and times that are home - all of my pals at work (I don't wear my wig - to effin' hot!!), family and old friends, and of course, my wonderful husband who rubs my head. :)

Me and my husband went for a bike (bicycle) ride yesterday. I had on my bandana and my helmet but I felt like just another girl (old lady) out riding her bike.
For any body that has pets they can probably relate to this, being with my dogs......the just don't care.

I learned long ago not to use sprays on a wig, which can melt down into the eye-makeup on a hot day! Susan, we all love you enough that balance should swing our way on your roughest days! :)

My "home" lately? That voice on the other end of my phone line. What alopecia?!
