DAY 102

I got a haircut today. What a welcome relief! I was a little reluctant to do it but felt very reassured when I entered the shop. Plexiglas barriers have been installed at the front desk. Decorative barriers separate the shampooing stations. Everyone in the shop wore a mask. And when I say everyone I mean only two other employees and one customer. After my shampoo, the chair and sink were sanitized immediately by someone other than my stylist. We chatted through our masks while she cut my hair, talking about how we have coped with the whole Covid-19 debacle. I felt safe and secure and definitely more like myself when I walked out the door.

A friend of mine went to get her hair done a week or so ago and had quite a different experience. Her stylist is of the opinion that the whole thing is a hoax and that she has no responsibility to try and protect anyone by wearing a mask or taking other precautions. Sadly, there are too many people who feel the same way. I don't know how they can ignore the 120,333 who have died in this country in the last three months. I've said it before and I will say it again, you can't fix stupid.
