At Home Services

It's crazy the number of items you can get at home here. About twice a week or so, someone rings our buzzer trying to sell something - brass items, laundry detergent (she was mentally unstable too - thank goodness for locks!), rugs, embroidered items, wicker furniture, the list goes on.

Need something? McDonald's and Subway deliver. Baskin Robbins will too. Since Stewart's surgeries, we've been having the local grocer deliver sodas, toothpaste, and other sundries. Super convenient.

What else? A tailor came and made clothes for my mother in law. He showed up with a bag of material, took some measurements, and produced some nice items. I had a separate tailor come and take measurements for blouses for my saris.

Today, I tried something new. I got my haircut. The guy who cut my hair had gone to cosmetology school (where he met his wife - they have a "love" marriage). He was also an instructor. So I sat in a patio chair without a mirror in sight and trusted my long locks in the hands of this man. We worked on understanding different terms - small step = soft layers. It went very well. I'm pleased with the outcome - granted, it was just a trim. I'll keep using him but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to trust with with a dramatic cut! Best part? It cost roughly $2!
