Haircut Day!

Oh my gosh, it has been a long run since February when we last visited Great Clips.  I had tackled Dennis’ hair once since that time, and he was amazed that the longer it got since that time there was a bit of curl.  I have been self-snipping from time to time, just to get it out of my face.  

I waited until a bit after ten this morning and went online.  We were given a 101 minute wait.  Needless to say, we left for Mankato almost immediately.  When we got to the shop there was a gal waiting by the door with her iPad.  She has been hired as a temp to usher in clients one at a time.  She confirmed the fact that we were registered and it would be an hour.  We went across the street and I did some grocery shopping in Cubs.  It was a bit different to have the haircut with the face mask that we needed to hold up to our faces as the cut was given.  I still need to get all the hair snips off of my Velcro mask.  Dennis and I felt giddy with our new haircuts.

The only other place we stopped at was Sam’s Club for some items.  It was then home bound and that felt wonderful.  Each of us was a bit stiff from yesterday’s adventure of washing the east garage.  When we got home today and were going through the mail and, wonder of wonder, Dennis’ enhanced driver’s license was in the mail.  Good deal.  We are now both set for some time to come.  We started on that journey in the last part of January.  With the Covid 19, everything has been backed up.  Even today, the courthouse is not open, appointments need to be made.  When we came back from Mankato, we stopped at the eye doctor so I could pick up my eye vitamins.  The doors were locked and the receptionist came and let me in and locked the door right after me.  I had my mask on and I got my temp taken as well as a questionnaire to answer.  Appointment by phone only.  Hmm. 

With the world being what it is, Dennis and I are so thankful for our well-tended home.  We are at the point that each of us cannot do some of what needs to be done on our own.  That’s when we pull together and get it done and get it done well.  We actually have a lull for a bit of time.  The property job jar is empty, we have had long awaited haircuts . . . I wonder how it will feel waking up tomorrow and then begin planning what’s next and being excited about it.  My hope and prayer is that everyone can feel like they are climbing Jacob’s ladder, being shoulders of The Cross.
