They liked my wig; everybody thought I just had a haircut. I know they’re just being loving and kind to me like always. The wig has asymmetrical sides and bangs; had to ask my boss’ help to tighten it a bit. My boss is a survivor herself and I got the wig from the same shop she got hers. This is the first time Kim, Becky, Nora and the rest of the girlfriends saw me with the wig.  Karine was the first one to see me with the wig because she was with me when I got it.
Apart from prayers, humor has a lot to do with how strongly I cope with this battle. I give my girlfriends credit for this. They would let me cry and whine but would always put a limit. That’s not good for the cancer cells and I’m only helping them multiply, they would say.
We were not planning on eating out tonight but then Kim remembered I was craving for clam chowder the other day so we went out anyway. We had cheesecake for dessert so imagine how stuff we were.  As usual after the dinner, we went window shopping next door to walk off the heavy feeling.  Kim is always bored because she is by herself presently.  Her two boys went to Korea to join their father because they are having difficulty finding employment here in the US.  I wonder what Kim's plan is tommorow.
