It’s definitely been a long week! Mom was finally released from the hospital on Sat. She no longer had the fever, but still fighting a slight infection. They wanted her to stay, but she basically refused. Tomorrow early morning she'll see the oncologist to discuss her #s, and if or when she'd going to continue radiation/chemo. She lost large chunks of hair that once she was home and we found the razor she had me shave her head. I buzzed it off and dad later went over her scalp with a straight razor. Since she's been home she beyond tired and has done nothing but sleep whenever she can – the coughing keeping her up through the night.
Friday I cut my hair in prep to have it buzzed. Ironically I had planned to go bald for my fiftieth I'm just doing it a pinch early- well I'm not bald mom talked me out of that, but I did go with really short buzz cut for moral support. It's slightly weird especially after having long hair for the last 2-3 years *shrugs*
Anyhoo, I’m hanging in. This week between work and the hospital I haven’t done anything fandomwise - just no time.
Also I’m still in shock about Bella and if I’d allow myself to stop and think I’ll go through a box or two of Kleenex. It’s just so sad, I can only send out prayers & love to her family and friends – she will be greatly missed!
The pixie at 6, at the time I hated it with a passion ;)
Before coffee, make-up, and ponytail knew I was going to get it cut that afternoon after work.
Told the guy he could do anything he wanted - I knew mom wanted to get her hair done soon I just didn't know when exactly. Sadly he didn't ask until after he cut it about whether I had a styling round brush or a flat iron - yeah not seeing him again (ha, actually won't need to see anyone for quiet awhile, *g*)
Life and the irony - now I can't wait for it to be long enough to call it a pixie ;)
Hugs Flist, hope things are going good for you and that each of you stop and take a moment to enjoy those around you, ♥

Date: 2012-09-04 07:23 am (UTC)I tells you, dahling, bald, I look betta than you evah could! You will always haff to be Ava, for I am Zhazha. I vant to get mine cut so short, but yours...too short, dahling. I don't tink I could pull that off. Well, maybe with szome nair or hotwax. But I don' like hotwax. That hurtz! I once had a lady, an I use da term with great sarcasm, because I care. Anyway, I once had this voman with bat like ears, but very tiny eyes, a bit batlike in every vay, I azzume! But who cares. Dhis bat creature with a cheap veave, she poured hotwax all over me. I tells you, dahling, it was excruciating! She pours it on me, and then smacks *slaps thigh* the paper down down on my skin. She haz de nerve to tell me 'da slaps takes out da sting'. Well, I turned to her and called her a fat cow, then I slapped her across the cheek. Then I asked her 'does it take out the sting of the truth?' I tells you, dahling, I only slapped her cause she slapped me first! One can never be too careful around Dhese foreigners. Then again, every woman without a diamond ring is a foreigner to me.
My father always told me, "you keep pouting, and a little birdy's going to come along and shit on your lip."
