Like my growing gray. Never shaved my head before. My hair has been longer than an inch forever. Often more than that. There was a time it measured in feet. Shaved Mrs. P.'s head once. Long story. Only slowly. Like my growing gray.

Never shaved my head before. My hair has been longer than an inch forever. Often more than that. There was a time it measured in feet.

Shaved Mrs. P.’s head once. Long story.

I had been toying with the idea for years, but since I went to work every day I worried that it might look hideous and I would be stuck with it for months as it grew out... Quarantine gave me the freedom to try it out with no risk... I prefer it this way... however, my dog's reaction was hilarious... I went up to the bathroom to shave my head, she was concerned that I was in there with the sounds of the electric razor so long, so she came up to stand guard at the door in case I needed help. Finally I emerged and she gawked at me, clearly disturbed... then looked away, as if it was so disturbing the she couldn't bear to look at it... but her eyes kept sliding back to it and then she would quickly turn her head away again... If I tried to get in her field of view, she would turn away... and then her eyes would drift back to my head and she would look away again with a canine shudder... It was a few hours before she could get past it... I plan to keep it that way…

It has also started going gray in earnest this year. I’m getting tired of pulling mine back into a ponytail. It has also started going gray in earnest this year.
