Facial Hair

I haven’t gotten my eyebrows waxed since June because the unforgiving heat has kept me inside. I think of it like, I want over a year without cutting my hair or waxing my eyebrows so a couple months isn’t so bad.

My brother waxed my face just before he left for Mexico because he comes to my house and we are both vaccinated. When I get my haircut, I just have her wax my eyebrows now because it is safer for me to keep my mascon at the salon. So my hair is a little bit overgrown and so are my eyebrows but I’m okay with that.

As for my arm and face: My arm still feels normal but I wonder if the, “Normal” that I feel is really even, “Normal”? It probably isn’t but for me, at this point, it is. I remember when I first started teaching that my friend and colleague, Suzie, told me that she is allergic to fruit.

She would leave an apple slicer in her mailbox in the teachers lounge. I thought that was so weird because if she’s allergic to fruit, why is she going to eat an apple? She told me that she likes the taste and she would just eat until her lips starting to tingle and then she would stop eating it for the day. My Mom and I talked with my brother, Dave, and he said he has the same thing going on but just with the green apples.

That is how my lips feel today. I imagine it is how her lips would feel when she ate apple. They are just the slightest bit tingly. I said yesterday that my face felt like I had a mustache like my grandpa:

It doesn’t feel like that today, it’s gradually starting to feel like a Charlie Chaplin mustache:

NOT THIS ONE!!!:

I wonder how my face will feel tomorrow. I wonder what kind of facial hair I will have even though I prefer to wax!
