New hair, new me

Yesterday I got my hair cut for the first time since February 2019. I went for a different style, a blunt cut instead of layers. It's quite a surprise in the mirror. I feel like I should dress differently to match the hair. Also slightly concerned I look like a kid, which is not a goal of the enterprise. Nice to feel lighter and to have shed those agonized inches. Though the new growth is actually my Covid hair. In any case, I felt fine in the salon and also went to Trader Joe's. What a luxury to reach up on the shelf and take what I want. No anxiety there either. I'm sure it will come. For now, I relish the freedom. We're still supposed to wear masks outside in Brookline, but that will end in 10 days. Just heard that high school kids can unmask outdoors, so that is wonderful. I hope they have a good supply for when they lose them outside.

Things are moving forward with Dublin and I need to start thinking about airfare and accommodation. I am worried that it will be too expensive and the weather will be terrible. Better to go in August? Thanksgiving? Or stick with December.

Watched The Falcon and Whatever. Just abysmal but almost over. Unforgotten is particularly good this season. Also started a whale documentary. Still disconnected from the memories of ocean. Excellent weather continues.
