Timelies all!
Another storm came through during the night, and woke Mr. S up. Another night of messed-up sleep here.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Oh, man. Yeah, I should try to get a haircut in case salons close again. I haven't had it cut since early March. I'm still pretty nervous about being in the salon, though. I just need to call them and see what safety procedures they're following, and that might make me feel better about it.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. ltc hasn't been falling asleep until very late. Which was fine last week when TCG was home and she was able to sleep in, but this week he is back at work and she is waking up when she hears him get up.

I'm too afraid to do anything, even though things are currently reopened. People are going back to restaurants, and I'm just at the point when I'm willing to order delivery and see some people outside with masks on.

FWIW, there was a salon in Texas (I think) where two of the stylists were positive and handled more than 140 customers in a week, and there was no transmission to any of the customers.
They were all masked up and taking other precautions seriously there, but I don't think a salon is particularly risky. Especially if you're just getting a cut which doesn't take that long to do.
If you're really hinky about it just skip the shampoo. The cut alone will only take 10-15 minutes.
I think the fact that you're not face to face helps a lot in that situation.

I don't know about other parts of the country, but I felt extremely safe at my salon. They were distanced, lots of open windows, all masks and full sanitation between clients.

Our wings are not tired.
I've didn't do hair salon, but I've been to the nail salon a couple times and felt safe. Good distancing, gloves, masks.

I decided to try to rent the time share for this summer. If it doesn't rent by the week before, we may reconsider going. Thanks for letting me talk it out here.

I'm definitely not getting my hair cut yet, nor going to the dentist...

That is all rational and reasonable. I just have the jitters a bit.
