No Wig Day!

I finally went into work without my wig. I spent some time trying on scarves and clips this morning, but decided to go in without any additional covering. I even bought cloth napkins from Pier 1 yesterday to tie as a scarf around my head. Oddly, they're just the right size. Anyway, I didn't want to be mistaken at any point as a guy so I wore a pink shirt, long earrings, mascara, and a bracelet. The first people to see me was Helen, who has been away in China for a month, and Jennifer, who was gone for a week, so they didn't realize this was my first day without my wig. The new post-docs in the lab thought I cut my hair. Megan was the only one that touched my hair after I told her that it was baby soft.

I did get some stares from other people on my floor who are not part of the lab. I came in without my wig today, a full week ahead of when I thought I was going to, in honor of Kat, who had to wait the entire weekend for the results of her bone scan. The scan was all clear to everyone's relief! That wait in itself can kill you though. You try to stay busy and forget about waiting, but it's really impossible.

All in all, a good beginning to no wigs!
