A New Look! (And second treatment)

I did it! Well, my hairdresser/wig consultant did it! She cut eight inches and I am excited to donate it. It will take me some time to get used to the new look and I'm really interested in seeing what it will look like when I let it curl naturally!
                                                                                                                                                                           

Before!

After!

Looks cute with my bangs and clipped in the back.

 My second treatment went well. I kept telling myself, 'it didn't hurt the first time, so it won't hurt this time'- and it didn't. The port in my chest is really amazing. The nurse sprays the area to numb/chill and after I take a deep breath in, she puts the needle in. It is painless, so I just need to remind myself of this every time I go in for a treatment. The time really flies. I had lunch, watched a little tv, but mostly just chilled out and thought about things. Two down! 

Today after the haircut and trying on wigs (I think I found the one for me!), mom took us winter coat shopping. I'm really OCD when it comes to clothes and sizes, but the first one I saw was the perfect coat in a beautiful plum color. (But still couldn't decide on a size!) It's very cute and I'm happy. Thank you mom. :) Juls and I relaxed tonight and watched a movie...but I fell asleep about halfway through with this little guy: 

Aww! Happiness is a warm puppy. (Peanuts) 

I've been having a great week at my assistantship. I've been working one-on-one with my supervisor, helping to edit an article for submission to a nursing journal. We are going to begin writing an article about voice disorders and she wants me to be her second author. I am thrilled for this opportunity. I think we will really start working over winter break, when the office isn't so busy. I've also been doing well in school, although I need to do a little catch-up work for my first half semester course. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a little more motivated.

Thanks for reading, friends! Hope you are all well!
