Shedding
In three weeks my Eddie Munster look has melded into William Kunstler in his declining years and now my hair has thinned so much there’s no weight to it so after a night of sleep I wake looking like Don King.
I have a feeling my last hair day is quickly approaching. This morning -though possibly by the time I get around to posting this it will have been yesterday morning - while in the shower I noticed that the water was rising above my feet because the drain was covered with my hair. I scooped up the ball of short gray hair. It was so soft and pliant. I started working it into different shapes. When my hair was long and thick a lot would come out when I washed it but I don’t remember it being much more than just strands of hair but I was younger then and less dependent on amusing myself. I made a bunch of different shapes then put the wad of hair on the edge of the tub and promptly forgot about it.
After finishing my shower, drying and dressing as I was about to leave the room I almost screamed at what I thought was a drowned mouse in the bathtub.
