All Done

I just have to celebrate…I feel as though my presentation power point is DONE! I have some edits and slide prep to do, but figuring out what narrative goes with what slide and all of that is finished. From here on out I’m just practicing and refining.
AND I’m two days ahead [...]

Better or not?

So as you might recall, I’ve been posting that I’ve been doing better with my pulling lately. Upon looking at my hair last night though, I”m starting to wonder if I was just delusional.
Perhaps those struggles while driving really are worse than I thought (due to the fact that at home is [...]

Two Months ago…

3 Weeks Left

I know I’ve said it before, but I can’t believe how time flies. Here we are nearing the half way point of October.  Yipes.

Last Day!

Wow, today is the last day of Trichotillomania Awareness Week. Time flies & way too fast for my taste lately.
