Hmmm. Let's see. Not only are we on the Williams Hamster wheel, but a "Crud" has caught up to me. Had a bit of a cold, or at least some allergy issues last week, but it seemed to go away. Then this past Thursday a client came in stating he was "Just getting over a cold" and promptly sneezed into the cape, and then WIPED HIS NOSE!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Sometimes people so not realize what utensils of death I am very good at wielding, and obviously they never saw Sweeney Todd! when I was shaving him, I realized how easy it would be to separate said sneezy man from his neck. Maybe I need a vacation LOL
This is why we are one step above apes. I mean ask for a $^$%& Kleenex you idiot, have a bit of concern for your fellow man, and barber, you self entitled $%$$#% #$%%#. Anyway immediately tossed into the laundry bin and fogged the entire shop in Lysol. Thankfully I have at least 10-12 capes for these reason. So I was ok until late Wedesday. Friday came, as did the waterfall of runny nose. However with winds in the 30's and Palo Verde beginning to bloom the Pollen count was off the chart, so a Claritin, and no big deal, right? WRONG. Saturday morning I awoke to notice it was a bit more than that, fever, and all the crud that goes along with a cold. The Covid Spectre looming, I tested , and thankfully was negative.
I had already rescheduled a bunch from last week, taking a few sick days, so I was scheduled until 7pm. Not only did it represent about $800 in revenue, but I had already bumped these folks back.. So armed with Dayquil, Gloves, and a mask I trudged through. Got home around 8:30 pm, switched to the Green Elixir of death, and promptly was OUT. A good night sleep and awakening at 11:30 am, it was nice to see that I can sleep in when a Nyquil induced coma is introduced. Feel much better today, still have the crud, still in my chests, but no more fever, and tested again and still Negatory Covid thank God.
I also wrote a quick blog to my clients re-iterating, that if you are sick, stay home ( although I broke my own cardinal rule, however I was almost in a bunny suit ) and do not use my capes as a personal handkerchief. I went on to state, that " I realize that I am booked out until the Middle of May, and realize you do not want to miss an appointment, but, had this been worse all my clients would have suffered" Anyway I, have become cynical insofar as some folks could care less about their fellow man, and could care less about anyone but themselves. We wonder why the world is in the state it is in.... Oh yea this is a shave Journal. Rant Over.
Anyway..... a good shave, although my wife said "Your sick... Why are you shaving" That was actually a good question, as I had nowhere to go, but NO HOBO, were my thoughts. Nice 3-pass shave with T&H and Rive Gauche as follow up. Can't smell them but rely on memory for that, LOL.
Have a good Day Folks
