I Feel Like A New Woman! - SOS #7 - 5/21/20


It's the little things that make me happy!
As this shut down comes toward an end
As businesses start to reopen
I wonder who decides what is "essential"!

Short hair seems to grow over night
Needs to be trimmed at least every
six weeks

Hubby trimmed
Then snipped
Then cut
I clipped
I chopped
I complained!

Finally 
My wonderful Beautician
is open and found time for me
Mask on face
Temperature taken
All clear and ready

A fresh haircut and breathe of air!

Beauticians and Barbers 
are more essential than a
furniture store!

    They are essential to keep the population looking groomed. :-) I have yet to get a haircut. Fortunately, my beautician lives behind us, so perhaps I can get a trim without going to the shop.

    It's that old depends on point of view for sure lately. Nice that you got your cut!

    Agree with Linda B... point of view is everything. Without a haircut, I am fine; my husband is ready to crawl out of his skin. Thanks for a fun post!

    Ah, a new haircut makes you feel like a new person. I'm glad you got some of that feeling!

    I enjoyed how you described your journey with your hair and I think you hare very brave, I'm am not wiling to even trim my own hair so it's the high bun for weeks and air drying. Happy to hear you have a little bit of normal return.

    A haircut! So many will be jealous! It is a breath of fresh air to get that uplifting hair cut! Yay you! (Thanks for being safe and still wearing an uncomfortable mask!) 😷

    What a fun poem -- it captures the moment and I bet you will appreciate that you wrote it as time rolls on.

    Sometimes, it IS the small things (like a hair cut, eye brows waxed, roots covered) that really make us feel like everything is going to be okay.

    You make your own list of essentials. Creative way to show your experience and thoughts.. Great that you were able to get a hair cut. It's a bit easier with long hair.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
