Halloween Magic

Look, I can disappear!
Or rather, I did and now I am reappearing.
Those of you who have been reading for a while might remember that I have a big presentation about Trich coming up in two weeks. In fact, I will be on the plane two weeks from right now.
So I’m frazzled and the stress [...]

Sensory Speak

Apparently my plan to post once every day during Trich week isn’t working out so well.  I thought I’d only missed one day, but it has been two.  Oops.
I’m not getting very many hits lately though, so did any of you even miss it?
I’m sitting here with one of my warmest softest hats on today.  [...]

Hair Adventure, Updates

First off, October 1-7 is National Trichotillomania Awareness Week.  If I can manage it, I will try to post at least once per day for the week.  I’ve updated my picture and status of Facebook.  Have you?
Now, the update on my adventure:
On Sunday my husband and I went out to pick apples, have lunch, & [...]
