"Vanity is my favorite sin"

"Vanity is my favorite sin" is the last line in the movie "Devil's Advocate". It was spoken by Al Pacino (the devil). It's another good movie and gave me the willies for a long time.

I've begun losing a lot of hair. Every time I run my hand through my hair, I get a handful. I was holding off on washing it for fear it would all fall out in the shower. I finally did tonight and a lot came out. I still have hair, probably as much as a normal person has. I've always had a lot (and I mean a LOT) of hair. Every hair dresser I've ever gone to has commented on it. It takes them forever to dry it which cuts into their time for the next person. Not anymore!

I was talking to a senior vice president of our sister company, SL, this past week and I told her "I always used to say "if it was socially acceptable to be bald, I'd shave my head'". HA! Be careful what you wish for. I now realize I had no clue as to my true feelings about this issue. Apparently I was wrong. I do care. A lot.

BDHA seems over anxious to help me shave my head. I think he's hoping that it still continues to grow in for a while so he can tell how grey I really am. Sorry..you'll have to wait until this project is over before I'll let you see that :)

We went wig shopping last Saturday. They had lots of wigs to choose from. They were all in order of size. They had around 30 petite styles to choose from, over 100 styles to choose from if you were medium and only 6, 6!!! to choose from if you were large. I picked a large one out and ordered it in a dark color close to my own. I mean Philip Pelusi's (hair salon) color. It's pretty non-descript but it was all there was to choose from. There were at least two in the medium size that I absolutely loved but they didn't come in large. They'll call me when it comes in and hopefully they'll style the bangs for me. I told BDHA that I had a big head because I had so many brains. His reply "ya right". Someone at work today said "Or all that empty space". Hmmm..

Tomorrow morning I have to get myself to MWH for a blood test. I have to take one right before each chemo treatment. My next one is Monday. They want to see how my white/red cell counts are doing. Then I have to stop at the pharmacy and pick up the magic pills (anti-nausea) and then head into work. We're moving to a different building over the weekend and I need to finish packing up the rest of my stuff. MFS came in to work tonight and helped me move a few boxes to the other building.

Other than that I've been doing well. Tired but nothing I can't overcome for the most part. I did hit my alarm off button this morning and fell back asleep for another 20 minutes. I don't remember ever doing that before.

Don't forget to root for the Steelers this weekend. The president of NL wore a T-shirt today that said "I'm a Ukrainian Steelers fan". I remembered seeing that in the strip district last weekend and thinking to myself "how many of those are they going to sell?" At least one! (You're published M).

I just realized how late it is here and should get to bed. I have to be at the hospital by 8 am in order to fit everything I have to do into the day. Good night everyone.
