NEXT POST - MEET ROSCHELLE AND SEE A NEAR-BALD WOMAN WITH PINK RIBBONS!!!!\


Where shall I begin? You know, when you are watching a movie and a woman takes a pair of scissors and, out of;   A. rage  B. desperation  or C. necessity  starts to randomly whack away big clumps of her hair? Of course she ends up with a gorgeous nice hairdo. Right. Sure. Only in the movies, folks.   Well, picture that on a much minor scale and that's what I did last night. I wish I had thought it out a little better before I began. I got the hair clippers and decided to cut all the long raggedy stuff off to about an inch in length. I couldn't work the razor very well (all it seemed to do was thin the hair out rather than cut it off at that length), so I got the scissors and cut it short. Hey, it didn't look half bad except for the fact that I had just made it even THINNER looking! Oy Vey!!!  So -  picture actress Michelle Williams with her pixie haircut - only much older, and whiter-haired, and much less hair thickness - oh, and a completely different face, and there you have it    ME!

Betty C. was right. My hair may come in a different color!  After getting it cut short in back, I noticed a very dark area.  I have a spot about the size of a silver dollar right at the nape of my neck, that is pure black.  When I was born, Mother said I was so chubby with squinty eyes and a full head of jet black hair, that Dad nicknamed me Ming Toy (my apologies to any persons of Asian heritage, but that was the type of  mind frame at that time). I guess you can call me Spot now. Lordy, I hope I don't get a variety of colored splotches all over my head. I would look like a color sampler. Whatever.

Alec and I did some running after school yesterday, before going to therapy. We dropped some things off at The Club for Dad, and later, around 5 o'clock, Dad called my cell and chatted rather normally. He hates the food there (he is used to eating three greasy calorie packed meals a day at Burger King or Hardees). I think he may be in withdrawal from that.  After he had griped about being locked up and about the food and the "old" people there, I asked him if he wanted me to bring him some fast food and drop it off since he had told me that he wasn't going to eat the dinner they were serving. But get this, he said "Nah, don't worry about doing that."  HUH?

Here he had an opportunity to get me to The Club AND bring him his crappy food, and he said NO. Go figure. Guess he just wanted something to complain about. I had included a package of his chocolate -marshmallow cookies with the stuff I had left there and they brought it in as we were talking. That really seemed to cheer him up.

Well, guess I will go find something to eat, myself. Since everything tastes like lard or cardboard, I'm not really thrilled at the thought, but my stomach is growling so I'll figure something out.  :)

                                                                                GOD BLESS YOU ALL

REMEMBER,   NEXT POST WILL SHOW ME WITH PINK RIBBONS  PLUS - YOU GET TO MEET ROSCHELLE! DON'T MISS IT!

I can picture you cutting your lovely hair. I did this once. And notice I said once. Thought I could trim my bangs. Not a wise choice on my part. At least it is warmer out now, so your head won't get cold. I am a little disappointed we didn't get to see the pig tails. LOL When this is all over you might like the new shorter hair.

I thought I would share good news. Went in for my 2 week check up and both biopsy look great. Thanks for the card, flowers and checking up on me. Not that I can compare to what you have went through, but it's good to be getting back to normal. I've got my grandma Hazel in me and really need to get digging in the dirt. In fact, I was racking off some leaves and what did I find? Sunflowers. I will let them get a little bigger and bring you some.

Have a great day and let us know if you need anything.

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
