First Day of School

I wore my wig to work today. The hair is so thin on top now, there is no choice but to cover it up. I had to call a friend last night for a pep talk to do it. I was really nervous. She and another coworker were the first people to see me this morning and they liked it. Then I went to a department meeting and everyone else got to see it. I had more positive comments.

Under my lighting at home, the color looks blonde. Under the fluorescent bulbs at work, it looks strawberry blonde. I guess that's not so bad.

It gets a little itchy, but not sweaty. I'm learning not to keep my neck stiff when I move my head while wearing it. I brought my matching hat just in case the wig turned into a fiasco. I'm relieved and more confident with it now.

I need to decide whether to get the rest of my hair cut short or leave the back long to hang out from underneath my hats. It's a tough decision.

Anyway, it was kind of like the first day of school where you hope people like your new clothes, new hairdo, etc. I'm relieved.
