Not So Happy List

# 134 - Don't Like My Holiday Fashion

Dressing Up
Picture
Don and I don't have a busy social calendar, which is good. I've always had a hard time figuring out what to wear when it's time to dress up. But now that I've got hair issues, on my head and face, I'm even less enthused about getting gussied up.

However, when I was doing a like top-dollar shopping at Marshall's recently, I came across some fine footwear that could easily take the attention away from my head!
I tried them on and thought, "No one will notice my missing lashes and brows, if I have these size 18, men's Pendelton boots on my feet! 

Winter Running Style
I've mentioned my concerns over my running attire. I don't actually care about my shoe style or my 15-year-old lizard shirt. It's a head-covering issue. I'm not quite ready to run in my natural hair, which is shorter than a crew cut. Besides, it's too cold to go bareheaded. However, the cold snap means I can wear my knit hat and look like everybody else for a change. Funny how that fuzzy white and gray hat looks a lot like the odd hair that's growing on my head now.

Santa Hat

The best holiday surprise came, when I realized a Santa hat could be worn instead of a wig or scarf.  I felt very festive when I decorated the tree. 

I could almost get away with wearing a Santa hat to the grocery store, parties and errands.  But it actually gets very hot after a while.  I'm going to sympathize with those poor mall Santas, now. That's a lot of hat wearing.
Luckily my social invites are limited, so I don't face closet melt-downs on a daily basis. And the good news is, I can still wear my clothes. I haven't gained or lost a lot of weight like some cancer patients.  Mostly I'm just going to enjoy my cozy clothes at home. Get dressed up when I need to... and wonder with great anticipation what kind of hair I'll have, by this time next year!

Kate's mom had a Santa hat she wore from December through January when she was going through chemo. It always made me smile to see it.

Aww, that's sweet to picture, Jennifer! If only it would stay cold here, I'd be getting more use! :)

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
