No, I wish I could say I was standing in a pan of hot water, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. I just drove back from having a bone density scan and the asphalt is so hot it actually has a liquid state.
Hi Norm! Thanks!! Your comments are funny! I've been doing pretty well. Yesterday a stranger asked me if I had had chemo (after seeing a picture of me wearing just a hat) and I explained that I had alopecia and my hair was not actually "my hair." I hadn't done that in so long and there were a bunch of other people standing around listening. It felt so cool!!
Thank you for the Birthday wishes Norm! It's been a bad day as my scalp is in a lot of pain. I never thought I would see the age of 31... Turning 31 was just another day for me. Hopefully next years will be better! Your a sweetheart Norm!
Norm... I will be in touch with you. You have fantastic energy, and humor, and remind me of who I was before AA and where I want to be. Whew! :o)
Best and Warmest Regards!!

Hey Norm!!!
I haven't been online in awhile, I've been busy listening to you. :o)
So, I have stopped my oral meds (which has lead to a MUCH needed weight gain of almost 15 lbs now- HOORAY (98lbs was NOT a healthy choice for me and NO amount of hair loss is worth THAT!), and although my hair (what's left of it) is falling out in droves, I feel SO.MUCH.BETTER. On a soulful level, I have embraced "whatever is today" and stopped fussing with the committee in my head about how long this will take, and trying to figure out statistical pros and cons and on and on and on...
Now with all of THAT out of my mind, it has been free to wander.. and I found myself at these amazing new age gift shops that Ive never found or seen before (I moved to the city from the country nearly 3 yrs. ago and have been surviving...now I'm beginning to explore) with my teenage daughter which has prompted many deep and quality conversations between us. Heart is filling back up, almost with every hair that drops, and although I'm continuing my injections (for now, it's really fun to see all of the baby hairs grow pack in different colored fuzzy patches), I have freed my mind, body and soul to drift along with this thing called Life, and I had to Thank YOU for igniting the flame of thought (or lack of thought!).
So here it is: THANK YOU, Norm. From across the pond and around the world :o)
Alas, no one special, but starting to test the waters a bit. Got to get my head screwed on straight before I venture out into the relationship thing again.... I suppose I'll just have to keep you guessing!
Yeah, I'm full of advice - haha. Job front, I start a rehabilitation tech job for a veterinarian next month. Will work with dogs in a clinic that does physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic. We will also do nutrition and weight management. This has been in the works for a while, I just haven't been able to start because the facility is being built and won't open until mid-February.
On the man front, that's for me to know and you to find out! Ha!
