Bad Hair Day

So today's the big day.  I'm shaving my head this afternoon!  My hair is falling out more each day so I might as well just do it. My hair guy (Ladi) is coming to the house - so sweet.I have a bunch of hats and scarves.  Will have to see which ones look ok.

This is going to be weird...

Back In Treatment

Hopefully some of you know about this show.  I just watched the first two new episodes with Theresa.  We are total groupies and sat here enjoying looking at Gabriel Byrne and listening to everyone else's problems!

FYI - the show is on HBO on Sundays and Mondays.  

News alert:  My hair is really starting to fall out.  Look for updated photos later this week.

Today has been a nice and relaxing day.   The weather is spectacular!  We sat by the pool, sat on our outdoor patio and pretty much did nothing!  So glad I was able to come here.  The pain is less than it was yesterday.   

More soon...

Every time I come here I love it.  Sometimes I come for workshops.  Sometimes I come for fancy spa treatments.  But not matter what- it's always perfect.  Even when it rains - like it did the last time I was here with Jessica, Katie, and Cathy.

This time I'm with Tracy and we're at the Emerald Iguana.  Some of you know it -because I've been here with you!  We have a two bedroom cottage w/ two patios, cozy living room and a kitchen.  On the agenda tonight:  dinner and movies.

Hope you all have a great weekend!  If you're still having trouble posting on my blog feel free to just email me instead.

More soon..

Answer

Well, thank you to Rachel  and Peggy  for at least trying to answer my question on the last post.

Here's the answer..... (drum roll please).......  The thing that's different is that I'm wearing a shirt that is NOT a button down shirt.   Might not seem like a big deal to you but it means that I could lift my arms up enough to get in and out of a pull-over shirt. PROGRESS!!  Baby steps - yay!!

Now that I'm going to physical therapy I should improve at a quicker speed. Action - I need it.  It's all about the solutions not the problems.

BTW I loved being at my Wed night AA meeting last night. It was wonderful to see everyone and be part of the meeting again.

I'll write to you next from beautiful Ojai.  BFN

Guessing Game

Had a great morning.  Do you notice anything different about me (not the movie star sunglasses)?  Check back later for the answer.

Night Time Blues

Nights are the hardest time usually for me.  Last night I was up from 2-4AM trying to get back to sleep but dealing with a busy head.  I was listening to Pink Martini (do you know about this fantastic band from Portland?) and the song "Hang on Little Tomato" came on.  I've heard this song so many times but last night I really heard the lyrics and found it to be a song of hope.

Click on the word TOMATO to see the lyrics.  Hopefully the link will work!

Tonight I'm going to my women's meeting for the first time in weeks.  Can't wait!

That's it for now.
