SHORT HAIRCUT
Yesterday and this morning Lou was feeling depressed. I think it was because she was going through the trauma of again losing her hair. It was beginning to fall out so she called her hair dresser and had it shorn this morning. She came out feeling somewhat better and after her favorite meal of chicken fried steak at the Staghorn she was in a better mood. She liked the fact that Connie Kirkham at Connie's Cuts and Curls had talked her into leaving it about 3/4" long so that it looks like a close haircut rather than being bald. It may still fall out but she will be able to handle it better. She has walked 1/2 mile each morning for the last three. The first day was a real effort, but a little easier each day. She still is short on energy and has back pains that move around. Our son, Mark, suggested a few walnuts every night to help her sleep better and she has been trying that. She has never slept well but some nights are better than others.
She is working on reading her Spur novels, working on a reader's report on a manuscript and keeps talking about writing more on her memoirs.
We are looking forward to some family coming in for Thanksgiving. Lou went with me to the store after we ate lunch to choose a Butterball turkey. We also picked up another carton of frozen yougurt from Bluebell that she likes. She eats a dish of ice cream every day sometimes twice.
Our space cadet teacher granddaughter Val will come in first next Monday and we are looking forward to at good week. The first freeze is predicted for Thanksgiving morning. I hope to keep my tomato plants in production by protecting them, although I have not had good luck doing that in the past.
