I read about that. Good ad for mask-wearing!!
I still worry about the in-laws and would have urged them to postpone this visit, as it truly wasn’t urgent - but we can’t rule their every action.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but the thing I most wanted/needed to come back was dog grooming (my dog needs grooming. I don’t trust myself to do it for her.)
It’s also pretty safe (everyone wore masks during the transfers. They stayed behind a plastic shield when I paid.)
For me, people grooming is another thing entirely.
Bumping because I was wondering if anyone else was still hesitant to get a haircut a month later. I’ll probably just use the clippers again, but i was curious.
I bought clippers online and did my own hair. Too short, but it will grow in.
I would be fine with getting a haircut, if I can find a place to get one. I had been getting haircuts at Aveda; while they have reopened, they now require that payment be made through a phone app, and I don’t see why I should have to install an app on my phone that I’m only going to use every two or three months.
I have installed so many apps because of quarrentine. Weird unintended consequences. But I totally understand having a limit!
I wouldn’t get a haircut because it’s not that important to me. I can just wear my hair back. I have been more tempted to get my toes done, but, again feels unnecessary. I will stick with letting the housekeeper in as my big indulgent risk.
I’ve been hesitant to get a haircut, physical therapy, vision rehab, hearing/cognitive rehab, medical check up, resume regular semi-weekly platelet donation, 2nd of my shingles vaccine, psychotherapy, all of which I wanted/needed to do but haven’t because of risk/benefit ratio.
Scheduled to go in in 2 weeks for migraine Botox injections, that I’ll probably do because the frequency of migraines and severity has crept up. They’ll temperature check and screen me at the entrance, masks required without question on everyone at all times.
My housemate cuts my hair on our front porch every few months-that will hold me for now.
I’m happy with the fade I’ve learned to do on my own head. I have made a vow to never have anyone but me cut my hair.
I desperately need to update my eyeglasses Rx, so I’m bracing for that. Not happily. Maybe this week.
And I shouldn’t put off a dentist appointment much longer, either.
Mammogram tomorrow, here. Was super tempted to use COVID to put it off, but that sounded like the beginning of a really sad story.
I found out I need a partial knee replacement last December. Fortunately, my knee quit hurting soon after that and didn’t become a problem again until June. I finally went to a different doctor last Monday (my insurance has changed) who told me the same thing. He was not sympathetic to my position that there is no way in hell I’m having that done right now. He ended our visit by telling me that covid is not going away and we have to learn to live with it. Well, living with it does not include hospitalization and extensive rehab for me. He did give me a cortizone injection and the knee is much better. I’m just hoping I can wait this out until there is a vaccine.
I’ve been putting the mammogram off myself. Haven’t quite convinced myself to schedule it.
I’m overdue for the dentist but I’m holding off on that.
I have gotten my hair cut, we were both wearing masks and I was the only client in the salon at the time so I was OK with it.
