Today, I did not feel well and subsequently slept through my, The Office Binge. It’s a brief suspension of my binge and I am almost finished. Once I awoke from my rather long nap, my Mom told me that she doesn’t like the way I look and I told her that it’s just a, “Bad MS day.” It happens sometimes and I have no control over it.

A Facebook friend and fellow MS warrior posted this and it really is fitting today:

It’s fitting for how I feel today and I like frosting on my cupcakes! Once I awoke, my Mom put Beauty and the Beast on TV. I LOVE this movie!!!

I blowdried my hair today after my Mom washed it. It felt so long as I ran my comb through my wet hair. It completely covers the back of my neck. It feels completely overgrown now! I had my last haircut in mid-February. I didn’t make a March appointment because that’s when everything started to go sideways. I will not make an appointment for April either.

My eyebrows have successfully grown together and the white hair I get in the middle part that I have waxed each month has also grown in. Actually, I have a total of three white hairs that come in in the center of my eyebrows now. So, I am good and hairy right now!

After I combed my wet hair, I began to blow dry it. I have gone from needing an intermission in the middle of a blow drying my hair to it being as if I am watching a three act play. My hair feels a lot longer than it actually is but, the only solace I have is that when all of this is over, everyone will need a haircut and a wax as much as I do!

Continue my binge and I got to Michaels movie:

Seriously?! My Mom did not find it as much as I did but she watched him with me. Once that episode was finished, I stopped my binge for today.

Well, continuing my binge today, I’ve decided that I do NOT like Dwight owning the building. I also did NOT like his retaliations to Jim’s snowball! I saw two episodes for the Christmas party this season and I loved Pam and Jim‘s gift exchange and I dug Darrell’s daughter!

So, I think it’s all of the stress I feel from the pandemic but I noticed yesterday morning that I could feel is it coming in on my chin. I said something to Sean about it last night but today, he actually saw it and let me know that, “That’s a good one!” I kind of chuckled and told him that it hurts and I shook my head and told him that it’s just like I am a teenager.

So, it’s like I’m a teenager but… I noticed yesterday as I blew on my lunch as I sat beneath the chandelier in my dining room. I furrowed my overgrown eyebrows and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the light glint out to off of a white hair is the center of my overgrown eyebrows!

So, I’m just a mess! My chin thinks I am a teenager but my eyebrows know that I am old. I am glad that at this point, my only white hair is on my eyebrows they get waxed every month but either way, like I said, I am just a mess!
