32. Well, I am a wig wearer

Tue Jul 14, 2020, 06:04 PM

Jul 2020

My thin hair became really thin when it grew back after chemo, so I continued buying and wearing wigs. Hubby thinks I have around five...but it's more like 15 or 20! Many are similar styles, so I don't think he realizes. He would think it's a ridiculous waste of money, but they do wear out over time and it's nice having a back-up.
Let me add that he spends plenty of $$$ on art books and adding to his stamp collection.
