Timing is Everything

     Most of you don't know that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. The reason you don't know this is because I have a great doctor and effective medicines that I fortunately tolerate well.  The one side effect from my medicines that got annoying was loosing my hair.

I used to have hair like this:

Now I have hair more like this:


To regrow my hair, I started using this:

magic  hair regrowth serum

     About five weeks ago I started my regimen.  Every night and every morning I put one dropper full of Rogaine on my scalp.  The liquid is thin like water which means that instead of it staying on the top of my head (because I don't have enough hair to keep it up there), it sometimes runs down my forehead and the sides of my face like so:

     Now, I'm supposed to clean off any rogue Rogaine so I don't experience unwanted hair growth, but I did the math.  I've already been applying magic hair regrowth serum for five weeks.  I have seven more weeks until Halloween.  The way I figure it, if I let Rogaine run it's course, I could have a seriously kick ass Halloween costume:


    Hubs and I think I could totally rock this new 'do so I am taking my chances because this is what I call perfect timing.

    1. If this costume works out for me, the means will totally be (mostly) worth it!

  3. Saves you a lot of time shopping for a halloween costume!

    In all seriousness, sorry about the RA. Hope you've got it managed and under control.

    1. Thanks for your concern. I am really fortunate because it is controlled very well and if I can get my hair to come back, then I will have no complaints.

    1. I already have 2 of 3 kids' costumes so if this pans out I'm almost all set. I feel like I'm rocking at Halloween this year.

  5. You should start growing out your finger nails now so that you'll have Wolverine claws by Halloween too.

    P.S. I agree with the others that say it's great that you see the humor in it all. Finding humor when life is a drag is an amazing quality to have.

    P.S.S I really like the new blog layout and graphics.

    1. Ugh! The fingernails! I knew I forgot something. Do they have a magic nail growth serum? I still have 7 weeks!

      I honestly can't complain about the RA and it has led to some seriously funny stuff.

      Thanks for the feedback on the blog. I'm really happy with the new design.
