I left the house and didn't die.

Not leaving the house has not been because of the pandemic. Well, yes it has - I mean - I started working from home because of the pandemic. Work was a source of social interaction for me, and I left my house to go to the office 5 days a week. My life was not exciting by any stretch of the imagination anyway, working from home increased my boringness exponentially. 

For the most part my trips outside are to go for a walk, go to a doctors appointment, or go to pick up my granddaughter from preschool. Generally speaking - that's it. Woo hoo!! Par-tay!

NOT.

But tonight I went out to a restaurant. A small neighborhood sports/tavern/restaurant. There were people at the bar, people at tables, servers making their way from customer to customer. It wasn't packed by any means which is fine with me.
You know what I didn't see? Masks.

Oh my gosh how refreshing! People were actually breathing the .. AIR. 

Who HASN'T Cut Their Own Hair During This Pandemic?

This morning Steve Perry did a radio interview and the host told him she loved his new natural hair. He said during the pandemic he wasn't getting haircuts or getting it dyed, it started to grow out and he simply decided to cut off the black (himself!!) and go with the gray. I am so glad he did!

How many others have cut their own hair during this pandemic?? I know I have, and many others have as well. Circumstances have called for it.

What surprised me was when he said he used to cut his own hair when he was on tour. How many housekeeping staff at the hotels he stayed at missed hunks of hair tossed in the garbage that belonged to Mr. Perry himself??

This pic is one that has always made me smile because the caption in my head is "Yep! I cut it myself!" And there ya go, that's probably exactly what was happening when it was taken. The quality of the photo is pretty bad, but you can see the look on his face. It says it all, and that sure looks like a fresh haircut to me!

Is this thing on? Nope. And I’m okay with that.

I realized I haven't posted here in years. Actual years. I am kind of amazed. 

I've been a grandma now for almost 4 years, lived through a pandemic, worked from home for over a year, and developed a late-in-life interest in Steve Perry and his music. "The Voice." Yes I know he hasn't been a member of Journey in a very long time, and hasn't put out new music since - technically - 2020. But I am late to this party and totally into it. Don't judge. Try it, you may like it.

And I haven't written about any of it!

Amazingly, my life hasn't changed a whole bunch. work, cats, more work, and oh - I feed a crap-ton of birds on my deck now. 

Here you go, picture of the best vocalist on the planet. Enjoy. 

(Okay, since I know no one else will see it, the picture is totally for me. Not gonna lie.)
