Velveteen Head

At our wedding last June Sheela and I selected a reading from the velveteen rabbit, a cute story about how love is like becoming real. My sister read it and got a particular laugh out of the line "Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby." I think I rubbed my head along with the line about the hair and everybody got the joke. Well, it's just about all gone now. It's not a complete sheen, but we went ahead and shaved it to nub to prevent patchiness problems. Now that's it's gone, I think the best plan is don't look back.

Guess which one is the real pumpkin head!



Next to my 'beautiful' head is my bucket friend. This week the nausea has been a real big problem; I've been coughing up all kinds of yellowy things that my digestive system needs to function and that's not good. I'm supposed to get better over the next few days and then I'll be able to keep things down. That will be swell.
