Yesterday was the absolute best I’ve felt since the surgery.
I can tell I’m on the upswing because my mind is going a million miles a minute and it’s making lists. My body wants so badly to keep up with it but I’m getting ahead of myself. I’m now officially climbing the walls and plotting my escape. In less than a week I’ll be able to drive again and tomorrow I might actually hide my “pocketbook” under some pants and go out for date night. It’ll be our little secret. BAHAHAHAHA! I’m living ca-raaaazy!
I just looked at the calendar and realized it’s been exactly 6 weeks since I found out about The Cansuh, can you believe that? I can’t. I simply can’t believe how much has happened over the past 6 weeks. The extreme ups and downs. How quickly life can go from completely normal to completely turned upside down.
Back in the 80′s there was a doll called “Pretty Crimp and Curl,” do you remember it? I think my sister may have had it but forever since, anytime we refer to the pampering of ourselves, we call it “playing Pretty Crimp and Curl.”
Yesterday my mom and I played pretty crimp and curl. She’s been here all week and I’ve been in sort of a funk.
So we decided it was time for us to get all girlie on ourselves and try out some fake eyelashes. We’ve always wanted to try them out and feel glamorous like a Kardashian or Adele, who wears 4 pairs, or so I’ve heard.
So I showered, only this time I dried my hair which is a huge feat because I usually just pile my wet hair back into a bun on my head, and then we put on our makeups.
Makeup-free is not really a good look for me. I'm all red and splotchy under there.
Isn’t my mom cute?
She bought us some false lashes.
Hers were real hair which I don’t know how to feel about that. Also they were on clearance for two bucks and she got them six years ago. This is how long we’ve wanted to do this.
We applied them and it took a while. It’s not as easy as I thought to line these up perfectly with my eyelid.
But this is how it turned out.
What do you think?
My mom’s turned out great, she looked so pretty afterward.
So happy.
I’m thankful for my mom. Have I mentioned that?
This is her seductress look. Or Blue Steel. *snicker*
It was nice to feel human again, after feeling like a science experiment.
This was the very first time that I have felt like this phase of my life is going to be exactly that. A phase. A phase that will soon be over.
I can already see the horizon out there. The Cansuh is an open and shut case and I’m ready to close the door.
