New Year, New Me!

So tonight was my night! I'd planned to shave, but at the last minute, clippers in hand, I went short buzz instead. Still I feel liberated, and I know I'll not have to deal with those long hairs all over the place that are still shedding so severely! I did find a few more bald spots in this process, which was a little disheartening, but I know it's all part of the AA process, so I didn't grieve over them, just looked then moved on. I might go all the way bald quite soon, but for now, the super short buzz is good enough...

I hope you all have great things coming in 2010! I know for me, I couldn't wait for 2009 to end, as it was not my friend. I can only hope for great things in this new decade as well.

Thank you all so much! I definitely think I'll end up shaving it bald soon, but for now, the extreme short buzz works for me. It has been nice to not find those long hairs all over the pillow in the morning, and everywhere else for once. Of course I'm still finding a few here and there, but those were ones I missed when cleaning them all up! :o)
