Bored Already, and Bald
Actually I’m back to being bored. Back to the way I felt before I decided to go back to school and learn to be a preschool teacher, and then take a paycut. Back when I felt like I was stuck in this job where nothing I do is very important, where no one cares if I’m there, but if I’m not there and someone happens to check, it’s like I committed a crime.
I am so stuck in this job, now. I’m thinking in a few years I might do some volunteer work with kids, maybe cut my hours on this job. But I need these benefits.
I came so close to quitting this job and having no benefits.

I spent the weekend laying in the hammock, reading, and pulling out my hair. It looked bad, showers were a pain in the ass, and my hair hurt, so I shaved it off. It’s … interesting. My neck is cold, the scarf does not cover it. The boyfriend had a look and said “it’s still you.”

The week after chemo I was too tired to be upset, I think. The week after that was like my emotions waking up, like a leg that has been asleep. Pins and needles. I thought a lot about dying and various painful futures. I had a few meltdowns.
This week, yeah just kind of bored with the whole thing.
Isn’t it so totally weird how anything can eventually become something that you’re just numb to? So bizarre! But better than crazed with emotion. In a weird way it’s a gift that your mind just can’t fathom that level of freakout/grief, so it just stops itself.
I love that he said, “It’s still you.” Perfect.
Thanks for posting! I was starting to wonder . . .
