Ten days to go – the countdown is on.
And reality is setting in. As the days go by I’m saying goodbye. Goodbye to good friends. Goodbye to my former students (I visited them yesterday.) Goodbye to garbage day (our last one was Thursday – that is one chore I won’t miss!). And today? Goodbye to my hair.
What? Yes. I made a decision that with no running water and little access to hot or even lukewarm water, keeping clean will be a challenge. Not that I’m a neat freak. After all, we are a camping family! But keeping my hair clean or at least tolerable? That will be tricky. So today was the day. Not exactly a buzz cut, but close. As Craig says so diplomatically (his specialty!) “it will take some getting used to”.
So – another thing off my list. This time, it hit a little close to home though….
If you see me in the next few days, be nice….!!
(A friend tells me that hair grows more quickly in hot, humid weather. So God, when my hair grows back, could you let it come in brown – without the grey??)
Until the next time,
Cathy
