Biotin and/or Primrose Oil as a supplement is supposed to be good for hair strength & volume.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My hair has always been fairly thick, and I normally wear it up. But summer is well here--90 degrees today--so it's time for the yearly shearing. At least the curl will hide the thin patches.
ION, Hubby's supposed to get a shot every night at 9 pm for about a week, so we're up here in Salt Lake City again. It's a two hour round trip for us. I feel sorry for the poor folks who are coming in from out of state.
On the good side, a little place called Curry in a Hurry does really good naan.

Oh, and I will be getting up at 4:30 am for the next several days to put Hubby on the train to get to his 7:15 bone marrow draw. Cancer is a full time job. We're having to do the train because we can't afford the gas to keep driving.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I have no recommendations on hair, tho I do sometimes do the coconut oil treatment when my hair gets rough and lacking in the shininess.
I'm still annoyed at my former stepmother for the demand of proof of love thing, but I did finally talk to my Dad who is taking everything far better than I expected (tho he managed to gloss over the whole "RSVP for dinner Saturday night" so I had to point that part out to him.) Turns out he did start a letter to my little sister when she was born. He kinda left off there, but it is something. And he spoke wisdom about her mom wanting "everything" for her daughter and using me (as usual) as a comparison. While I feel i'm rather a terrible comparison for most things ("don't be like me! No, really, don't be like me!"), it is the only real benchmark she has here since her relationship with her own father is abysmal. So I'm simmering down and trying to coax sister into actually spending time with me while I'm in town, rather than the usual bout of sitting on the sofa while she shuts herself in her room having a meltdown and refusing to speak that I generally get. I can't wait for her to get out of her mother's house and start developing into her own person.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cancer is a full time job.
It truly is.
I've had good results from biotin with my nails but it can make me break out. I assume if it works well for one keratin-based outgrowth, it'll help with them all. My hair has always been thin and fine.
I hope she gets out soon, e-o and gets to figure out her own mind.

Thrive to spite them
Erin sorry you are going through this
Also thanks everyone for the fish stories. I killed mine from neglect. It's sort of an indicator that things aren't good. Also an indicator are staying up until 5 am and barely sleeping. My shift started at 3 pm but it was bad. I snapped at a few people. Cried a bit fit prissy with a customer ( who wanted to argue our policies to fight fraud and basically he thought they were stupid and u was mindlessly following them. I should have called the manager over). I don't have a support system right now. I want to call out tomorrow but I'm worried if I do I'll want to call out the next day. I'm not stable I mean I'm not needs to be hospitalized unstable but I could be a lot better. I'm worried this will cost me my job. That even though there are bigger duck ups at work that no one likes and management won't fire I'll get fired. Or I'll quit. Or I'll do something stupid. I wanted to tell the general manager that I needed tomorrow. That I have bipolar disorder that I may need accomdatuons or something but it was too hard.

askye, you don't sound good. Do you need your meds adjusted? Can you talk to your psychiatrist? Perhaps you'd be better off calling in sick (Saying you're throwing up is good. No one wants details.) and seeing if you can get some help.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seconding Ginger's throwing-up-excuse rec, askye. It sounds like you desperately need some time for self-care.
All good vibes to you and Hubby, Connie. My aunt underwent a similar procedure 15 years ago when it was seriously experimental and unproven, and it was rough and brutal but here she is, 15 years later, still in remission. All possible digits crossed and Viking gods appealed to.
