Not So Happy List

#175 - Don't Like Little Gripes

Hats Again, in California
Picture
My last posts were about serious hurricane and flood concerns and now I'm back to hair gripes. That's pretty lame.

I can't believe I'm hiding under hats, again. I may not be hiding a bald head, like I was a year ago...but I'm hiding a new funky kind of hair. Part is curly and part is straight.
11 Months Ago

Last October, I wore my Lake Tahoe hat when I visited my great nephews in California. I felt pretty normal with my half wig. Only once did I come close to revealing my bald head, when 3-year old Colden made a grab for my hat.  

This Year

It was fun being back in California this September. The boys were almost a year older and I was  11 months stronger.  Last October when we visited, I had just finished chemo. I was all giddy about my hair growing back. I'm glad I didn't know then, how slow the process would be.

Goofy Hair

​I didn't wear a hat when we saw the boys this time, but I probably should have.

We had a wonderful hike near Squaw Valley and paused for a photo. All 3 boys look like they're laughing at my worn out Brillo Pad hair, in this photo. That's not true, though. Nobody, including me, was thinking of hair when this photo was taken. 

But there was another moment during our visit, when 7 year old Silas did take notice of my curls.

Hair Chat

Silas was busy working with his Legos, when we began talking about the last time we visited. Silas said he remembered our picnic. Then he paused and studied me for a moment.
​
"You looked different then. Your hair is curly now." 
I'm used to adults cautiously mentioning my hair, but I'm not used to the honesty of a child. It was such a simple remark, with no concern or opinion. I laughed and agreed with him, that my hair was indeed curly. Silas turned his focus back to his building, but he continued to talk. 
"I have a girl in my class and her hair is really, really curly. There's nothing she can do about it. She tries to use barrettes sometimes, but it's still curly." I asked if his friend was okay her hair. Silas answered, "Yep, I think so." 

I loved our little hair talk. I loved picturing the little girl, who probably looked adorable in her barrettes. She could probably give me some pointers!

    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 13, 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!
