I think this is the last really big stack. I sure hope it is. Things are also starting to get weird in that books that were originally going to be released this spring and summer are now being pushed back to fall and even winter. It’s a confusing time.
And we’re all about a week away from doing something seriously insane with our hair. I know that people think that worrying about hair is nuts in this time of crisis, but how we see ourselves, how we look, is a big part of our self-image, and changing that drastically can be hard on the self-esteem, even when we’re willing. When we’re not it can be pretty darn devastating that the person in the mirror isn’t the person we expect it to be anymore. We all look different as we age, but that’s gradual. This is going to be a sudden shock for a lot of people. Including me – one I’m definitely not looking forward to.
