I Hate My Hair

It's finally Friday and the end to a long and semi-stressful week at work. I'm attempting to train someone to take my place and trying to get work completed at the same time. Needless to say, that's not the easiest thing to do and I'm not doing a very good job. It's frustrating because I have so much to tell her and teach her but there's not enough time. Plus, I didn't sleep very well last night so it was difficult to focus today. My last day at work and last opportunity to train her will be on Monday. Let's hope that I don't confuse the poor girl any more than I already have!

One of the companies that we work with took me, my boss and the new girl to lunch today. Cheesecake Factory. Now that I think of it, the fact that I couldn't focus today was probably because of the big sugar crash that I had this afternoon after eating a piece of red velvet cheesecake!

I hate my hair. Last week, I got it cut short for the surgery. Can't do a thing with it. It sticks out funny and won't hold any kind of shape. I look like a boy. I'm sure that I'll be happy that first 10 days or so when I can't wash my hair but right now - I really hate my hair.

Headache is pretty intense today and seems to be settling in my neck and shoulders. I think that it's compounded by the stress. It really was very difficult for me to focus on a task. I kept forgetting where we were and what we were doing. My spelling was all off and I couldn't get my words out correctly. Frustrating... I'm praying that I'm more clear-headed after the surgery.

Tomorrow, my sweet friends are having a lunch for me. It will be the last time that we'll really get to visit before my surgery and an opportunity for all of us to pray together. Personally, I think that I'm the luckiest girl in the world because I've got irreplaceable friends. I'm sure there will be jokes about wrapping my head in bubble-wrap and packing me in the car for a shopping trip. Yes, my friends are strange but I love them.

It's 6 days until surgery and the apprehension is becoming more noticeable. I try to take big breaths and not think about it. There's much to do to with getting my house in order and moving our office so I'm trying to concentrate on that. God has been reminding me today that He is in control and has a plan for me. He has been using people to demonstrate His love for me. I even got a card today from someone in Georgia that I don't even know. I'm a lucky girl!
