So this thought popped into my head one day when I got out of the shower and I’ve been giggling about it ever since. I do love to shower. I’m a terrible water waster. I stand there until the hot water threatens to run out and just let the water sluice over me.
I do not, however, love getting out of the shower. No matter how high I crank up the little space heater, I’m still a shivering mess. And that was before I lost all the hair on my body. And before the furnace decided not to work so well in our bedroom.
So now, and I apologize in advance for the nightmares some of you are going to have in response to this visual image, this is what I feel like when I jump reluctantly out of the shower and into the frigid air of our bathroom……

That’s me. A hairless cat.
Brrrrrrrrrr. Spring seems a long way off.
BUT, you are a pretty cat!!! Thinking and praying daily! luv u , connie
Just think August, Webster, 89 Deg. F., hot, muggy, no central air
Hahaha! I am so laughing out loud!!! At the cat, not at you
So sorry I barged in last night with my heard of buffalo, but you were just what I needed yesterday. And here I thought I was coming for you and the girls, and it turned around that I came for me and my kiddos! we all love our Sara!
Okay, you are MUCH cuter than that cat!!! Thanks for the laugh! Hugs to you.
I’m right there with you! And remember: Cats do have 9 Lives!! Love & Prayers, Nan
You are so funny, just didn’t really know what we were gonna see in that picture when it rolled up, glad you are still feeling us in with humor, your mom and dad had a good time Sat night at our class party, will post some pictures soon..Love and pray for more humor moments….
Hahaha. I love how you are joking about being hairless. You are such an inspiration through this season in your life! God is using you in some amazing ways! Keep staying open to that! I will continue to pray for you!
You are so funny. Thanks for cracking me up!
That expression on that cat’s face…I’ve seen that somewhere before! Love you! Sooooo funny!
Hey Sistah!
So glad to receive your note in the mail today, we’re in your corner! BTW, Josh says that he is the undisputed king of the Hollywood shower and is willing to take you on- name your suds!
Love to youse guys!
So do you not have to shave your legs? I never thought chemo causing about hair loss other than your head, but I guess it makes sense now that I think about it.
…ok….so I’m a visual person….I’m cracking up at your slick trip to the heater….trying not to slide across the floor…….but seriously, …Sara….this poor cat….keeps us laughing …and ya know we’re over 40..had kids…so a little bladder control would help…can you be careful on the humor….but back to the cat….it reminds me of what happens to our skin…ladies…after 40 …and we haven’t used lotion……rather wrinkley…..sorry everyone …Sara, started the visuals……..God bless ya all and Merry Christmas!!!

I understand completely being a shower-lover myself, but your visual is missing one important element – Where are the goose bumps?!! Not to mention the chattering teeth! Seriously though, I make sure to hang my towel where I can reach it without opening the shower door (keeps a little heat in) and dry off completely, wrap myself in the towel, and then I venture out of the shower…its a little less traumatic that way. You might want to try it! I hate being cold! Merry Christmas!
