So, this whole alopecia thing....it can really be annoying at times. I'm pretty much over the initial shock of losing my hair. Sometimes it still kind of freaks me out that something so drastic has happened to me, but for the most part I'm totally cool with it. Its been pretty hot this summer, so I find myself wearing my super cute hats most days (unless I'm going on a hot date with my main squeeze or going to church) I've learned to answer the "cancer" questions without being totally mortified and I've also learned to focus on what it is I'm doing and not bother looking at people looking at me, that's when I start to feel bad and get insecure. So this was my week last week.....
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO DUMB?
1. I spilled paint (a lot of it too) on my carpet. That project will be posted soon~ I was trying to work through my home owners insurance to get the carpet replaced. So I had to have a couple carpet guys come out and give me bids. Of course I'm wearing my hat, hoping to land a "cancer discount" I know, I totally take advantage of my condition sometime...Oops! As the guy is finishing up he tells me that he will go back to his office and figure everything out and then he says and I kid you NOT....
"OK, I WILL GET OUT OF YOUR HAIR NOW" I wish you could have seen the look on his face after he said that!!!!!!! I thought he was going to crap his pants from total embarrassment!
2. I had to go to Roberts and Whitney was being SOOOOOO bad. As I was checking out, Whitney is screaming and throwing a total tantrum when the lady says "Does she want a balloon" and a politely declined because of the way she was acting. (Remember I'm wearing my hat again) and the lady looks at me and and says
"IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON' I think she meant "the terrible two's" but what if I did have cancer, not really something smart to say.
3. Last but not least, I had to go to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. (Another hat day) and the hygienist asks me if I'm taking any medication that she needs to know about. I told her no and she looked at me like "are you kidding...you must be on something!" and so I had to tell her the whole story and explain to her that I am totally healthy. She asked me when it happened and I told her right after I had my first baby. Then she has the nerve to say
"Oh, now you've got me nervous to have a baby"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME PEOPLE????
I guess you gotta love trials and stupid people!
