Annisworkingonit's Journal, 10 Jul 24

Good evening FS friends

So I did it. My butt length hair is now 26 inches shorter. Given it was falling out with the recent stress, something needed to be done. Left it in the hands of the more than capable hairdresser to do what he thought best. He shortened it, layered it, gooped it, styled it and off I went. Promptly got stuck in monsoon rain on the way to the car so my now gluey head was stuck in drowned rat mode. Got home, rinsed the goop out, and I think I like this haircut. It's fluffy and frames my haggard face quite nicely. John would be pissed as he loved the long hair, but he's not here anymore. My life, my hair. Hopefully it will grow back in properly in the months to come.

Returned some things to Lee Valley (John was going to add a sliding drawer to hold our gamut of spices, but the sliders were still in the package so back they went) When at Lee Valley, I asked whether they held classes on power tools as using the hand saw is time consuming and I have my dad's Skilsaw and a wormdrive table saw that I got for myself a few years back. God love the guy at the store. A retired master carpenter that will give me one on one training on a Saturday at the store. Some people are infinitely kind and he certainly is one of these.

On the food front, my regular appetite is back (hallelujah). Went grocery shopping yesterday as I was running low on fruit and produce. Cherries were on sale. Yummy yummy.

Have I cried today. Oh yes. A simple little haircut was a reminder of what was lost.

And so, another day passes.

Over and out

Wow my hair has been falling out from stress too. I haven’t worked up the courage to cut it yet. Same length too, down to my butt! I’ve been taking a biotin vitamin it seems to be helping…I think. Thanks for sharing this gave me a nudge to make that appointment 😊

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will eventually get there. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Anni, it's not just stress that is making you lose hair. It's the significant, sustained weight loss. It happened to me when I lost around 100 lbs in a year, and my research said hair loss is common with this kind of weight loss. It will come back but takes about a year to fully regrow. Congrats on your weight loss!

Oh Ann...I giggled at the vision of 'drowned rat mode'!! The shorter hair will take some getting used too, the styling always gets me as I can never make mine look like I just walked out of the salon! and girl!...getting lessons on power tools...how awesome is that!! We are never too old to learn new skills!! ~ * You Got This! * ~
