Haircut!!  Yesterday I got my hair cut.  It seems totally contrary to what I would want to do, but my hair was getting way too shaggy and unkept looking.  Now it actually looks like it has some shape to it and like I meant to have my hair this length.  I think I need to play around with it a little more and see if I can get it to look like it has a little more volume on top, but on the whole I like it a lot better.  Most of the hair that was cut was on the sides and back.  Now I just need the top to grow some more.  I still haven't decided what length I would like to have in the long run, but right now this is a super easy hairdo to fix in the mornings!  And I didn't know that there were so many choices as far as style goes for short hair.  I need to look more closely at how other people wear their hair and figure out what style I like best for me.

The person who cut my hair was surprised at how even my hair has grown all the way around.  I guess a lot of people who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy have had it come back in clumps and not evenly.  I have been pretty lucky as far as that is concerned.
My lower left jawbone/gums have been bugging me off and on the last couple of days.  I've been using some essential oils on it and it will go away and then come back a day or two later.  I try not to take medicine for it unless absolutely necessary.  One thing is certain though - there are not too many things that will put me in a foul mood quicker than my teeth hurting!  When I realize that I am starting to get short-tempered and cranky with the kids I know that it is time to take something for the pain!  My gums have also been bleeding a little when I brush them.

The cut on my arm is slowly healing.  I think my body is taking longer to heal since I started my infusions...
