JZ, all my thoughts with you and yours, except for the thoughts with the rest of you and yours, and basically, infinite ~ma for us all, my darlings.
I've been coloring my own hair for the past 25 years, and it's pretty hard to screw up cutting with clippers. (DH already trims his own beard and shaves his head, so I know he has a steady hand.)
If it's good enough for the Brothers Evans (the self-cut with clippers, if you haven't seen Scott Evans documenting his quarantine buzzcut with a sibling assist), it's good enough for all!
All my thoughts, JZ. You are in a hard place but you have a lot of love around you.

My stylist posted something (funny) about the home color and cuts he'd be seeing after this pandemic fades. I told him to be glad I went to OverTone. Also to get back to doing yoga on his Facebook because I love having him as my yoga dude again. Especially since I didn't actually do any yoga after he stopped classes and I had surgery.

I have not seen this. And I have assigned blame already.
Do I need to send you the link?
(((((JZ and loved ones))))
{{{JZ}}} Continued ~ma for you and yours headed your way.
ltc slept in an hour late today. So, I was able to finish my first cup of tea and read for a bit before she woke up. As a result, I'm so much calmer this morning than I've been in forever.
excellent sj - I hope it is a good day.
I am going into the office today. I probably won't have any interactions with people, but I am kicking myself for not making masks this weekend, because I would like to go buy some liquid soap to refill mine.
I am annoyed by the way the liquid hand soap I bought (the only kind available) makes my hands smell. But then I realize that I am grateful that I actually have a sense of smell.
My uncle passed away last night. We weren't super close, but it's still a loss. He served in the army in WWII. There aren't many veterans of that conflict left. He was imperfect, as are we all, but he took amazing care of my aunt, who is quite frail (she'll probably move in with her son, who is also a good man). Sadly, geographically distant family members won't be able to go to any sort of memorial ceremony in the near future, which will be very disappointing for my aunt. She'd love to have anyone who shares half a gene with her within two blocks at all times.
I'm sorry for your loss, Calli. It is so hard for families not being able to visit loved ones in care facilities, or or having to forego memorial services.

I like the smell of my handsoap, but I also have that moment of gratitude when I smell unpleasant aromas!
At least there's no time limit on memorial services. When my dad died, his sister was out of the country, so we held it a month later when she got back. Obviously a month later might not work now, but end of summer or into the fall might be OK.
