So every place that means a lot to my life is basically gonna be closed

No Ulta and no gym until further notice. I need to get my haircut, but I felt my hair was too short this past weekend. I tried to call the Greap Clips near me (Parsippany). The map on their app showed that every Great Clips in suburban North Jersey was closed except for Maplewood. I called the hair salon near me and she said she's closed. The closest hair salon that was open was a Supercuts in Chatham and I called and said they were already going to close a half hour after I got out of work.

So I went to Harmon and bought a $20 hairclipper set and I might teach myself how to cut my own hair, but that's gonna be tough since my mom is quarantined from her job (schools are closed).

CVS and Walgreens are my alternative Ultas. No gym means I can exercise by enjoying the nice weather anyways by going hiking, hopefully hiking won't close.

Of all the horrible things that could have happened to you THESE were worth whinging about?

Homo sapiens is truly doomed if it considers these things important. What ever happened to shelter, water, food?

Homo sapiens are truly doomed if it considers alcohol important. What ever happened to the drugstore makeup you can get at CVS or Walgreens lol.

I paid only $19.99 for my Wahl's hair clippers at Harmon's. I don't have the money to constantly maintain a fade and plus my hair grows fast, so I go one month after the date I went anyways. I tried cutting my hair, buy everyone is home, so I am just doing a temporary trimming of my hair, so I don't embarrassingly look like Tarzan in public.

I do a 6 on top, 2 in back, and a 2-3-4 fade on the sides. Nothing fancy. Takes me 5 minutes tops.
