QOTD: “I think the person that sings the Exes and Oh’s song is different than Auntie Lennox. You know, she sings the Broken Glass song."
Curious child: The floor is lava. Except when there aren’t enough pillows. Then it’s not lava.
Notes:
The Doubletree hotel chain published their cookie recipe - which is an incredibly smart PR move on their part - and I feel victim to its calling.
Perhaps it’s just my perception, but things seem to have calmed down somewhat. Grocery shopping doesn’t quite have the same air of desperation, I’ve been able to secure a scant amount of work, and my wife is a bit busier than she has been in the past few weeks. We’ve also learned that Ontario has likely hit the peak with new cases - the curve is flattening.
That said, work is certainly a far cry from what we’re used to, or what we need. The government support helps a bit, but I do hope my observations represent light at the end of the tunnel.
I ran into my local barber yesterday at the grocery store. He’s obviously been completely out of work since this whole mess started and eagerly waiting for things to get back to normal. A look at the mop on my head and I certainly don’t envy the crush of people he will have to deal with. Or the fact that all of their customers will be on (about) the same haircut schedule for some time, creating a potential feast-and-famine cycle.
