chill out already

the amount of time I spend stressing myself out over something that may or may not require stressing out over is ridiculous....some days it's a wonder I don't stroke out or give myself heart attack. Watching my phone and my inbox does not make a response appear oddly enough, although I appear to working under the assumption it will.

really in need of a vaction

or maybe just a long weekend? heck a pj day (which involves lots of pj wearing, watching bad movies on SyFy and eating Chinese food) would probably go a long way for me right now

that which does not kill us makes us stronger

are we sure about that? I don't feel so strong, most days I want to crawl up into the fetal position and burrow under the covers until all of this is better. I suppose maybe the stronger comes in because I have not done this....yet

do you like my hat?

I do not consider myself a vain person & I've never had lush gorgeous hair but it was alright I mean I had good hair days occasionally and the bald spots had been sort of tolerable maybe even vaguely amusing but only because I had enough hair to hide them. Except last night I discovered they may being getting harder to hide...insert ginormuos sigh...MIL is suppose to take my to her hairdresser this week and she has been after me to sen a lock of hair to my SIL because and I quote (or paraphrase I suppose) "any hair S gets in Las Vegas is going to better than hair we find here in town" In the mean while I am a hat girl as of now officially. Ran by wally world & got a cute newsboy hat, browsed ebay & amazon and more hat shopping to come...really really soon like this afternoon.

follically challenged

my trip to the dermatologist got me a diagnose of alopecia areata which has no known causes exactly but could be caused by extreme stress so I can still blame David I got steroid injections into my scalp..um ouch on that.. and some topical stuff to rub in until my return visit in 2 months. And the oh yeah it could get worse before it gets better....ugh thanks so much and yes it is still getting worse luckily I can still hide the spots, for now anyway. If it progresses further I suppose I will go hat shopping or hair shopping for clip ins and or a wig or maybe just stick with the hat route even though I really am not a hat person however I am even less so a girl that can pull off bald!

a watched pot never boils

and a phone doesn't ring when you are awaiting news either

my new method to deal with stress

climbing into bed and putting my head under the covers.....the theory needs a little work but it'll do for a weary Friday evening

how do you detox?

right now the avoidance tactic seems to be my preferred method and while mostly effective I am sure it will catch up to me and in fact I suppose my current bout of sickness and the spate of aches and pains over above the norm are a direct result of stresses in my life. And they are many too many to go into here and from all facets of my life which makes for...hmmm wonder if that could be factor in my sleep problems? Safe bet who needs a sleep clinic for that diagnosis? So all one or two readers how do you de-stress? I have no free time and no extra money for a weekly massage but damn a spa day sounds like a lovely idea doesn't it?
