We went to my daughter's meet-the-teacher. Because I feel so
good and normal, I have been working like a Banshee. I was so busy, in fact, that I forgot to
switch my “Aunt Jemima” bandana scarf for the attractive “so nobody notices”
wig. I plow down the road with the
windows open, only to have my son chime up from the back that I forgot to wear
my hair. Darn it. The only one who cares
is my daughter.
We get home, and I am in the front yard letting the dog go
chase a squirrel. The weather is great and I finally feel good. I see the neighbor bringing their dog out the
front door. And then I realize that I forgot my hair and my scarf, and am
totally bald in the front yard. I panic, but quickly adopt an “I am on a
mission” stance, and walk deliberately back to the corner where the dog appears
to be pooping. I don’t know if they know
(about why I am bald), and I don’t want them to call the police because a bald
man/woman is in our yard checking out our dog pooping. I just stand behind the bushes. For a while.
