Annoyed Retraction

I said earlier that Shipt would not be getting any more of my business, after the fiasco of my last order.

I have to retract. I'm not going to cross the InstaCart picket line, so Schnucks is out. Of the other delivery services that have been recommended to me, by friends or Google, all except Dierbergs/Shipt don't deliver in this area or don't carry products I most need (e.g., milk). So I just placed an order with Dierbergs, which they say will be delivered between 5 and 6 PM tomorrow (with a possibility of an earlier time).

Let's hope they find the right address this time.

Another First

I just gave myself a (partial) haircut, for the first time in my life. I kept getting hair in my eyes and even my mouth, and finally lost patience with it.

I didn't try to cut the hair in back, but lopped several inches off most of the hair in front, from the forehead and sides. I feel much better, and the mirror doesn't look too awful.

I did have to fight off an attack of mirror disorientation - getting the scissors tilted correctly, moving them *towards* my hair instead of away, and so on. But only once: most of the operation, before and after, went smoothly.

PSA

Tomorrow is March 32.

It is, most emphatically, *not* April 1.

Don't even think about it.
