YAY IT"S DONE!!...and shaving my head

the bathroom is done!!...well i might still paint the vanity since we didn't replace it and i DO NOT want to sand and refinish it...yuck...but  we got the med cab back up and will be installing the towel racks tonight...i took a shower and shaved my legs...yes i am hair free now...and speaking of hair free...my bff  is probably going back into treatment...which means chemo...and i told her i would shave my head...also a gal i've come to know through my dh and being key spouse for his flight (USAF thing) is going into chemo again...losing the hair you just got grown back can be traumatic...so i want to support these wonderful women...and on the selfish side..i have complained for years that i was going to "GI Jane" my hair/head since i HATE trying to do anything with it...so i'm gonna ROCK THE DO-RAG!!!
