(drawn without glasses, so
actually not bad because I
couldn't really see.)
Okay. So my niece is a hair stylist, whose infinite wisdom
during the 3 months the salon I visit was closed, was to
not cut our own hair. But we did. I cut my own bangs for
6 months badly, and Steven and I cut some of the incredible
length off my hair. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t bad.
Today I went to get my hair cut. I was so impressed by the salon's
protocols. They took my temperature, asked me more
questions than they do at the airport, and all was well. I wore
a mask and gloves, the cutter wore a mask.
And it was done. My regular stylist now works at another
outlet, and I will perhaps look for her, for her incredible
precision. But it is a very good feeling to have some of the
weighty length gone.
Tonight’s drawing is a "before." I walked the dog in the rain
so you’ll have to wait for the after.
Small positive events are the delight of this crazy time.
