Baby Boomers

She kept wanting me to get it mid-length (the dreaded Karen cut) and stopped cutting it really short. It falls in my eyes at the microscope, which is unacceptable.

Plan A was short hair. Plan B is working out fairly well - I let it go silver and let it grow out, which it will now do, since it's gotten coarser with greyness. (Right up through my middle age, it was so fine and straight that it looked painted on, like a Kewpie doll.)

It's going to look ratty as hell for years, but it's at least finally long enough to get up on top of my head and out of the way. And as a bonus, I haven't been back since Covid. That's a savings of time and money. I'll go in every couple years to get a couple inches trimmed until all of it catches up. December will be the first trim.

Plan C was to just shave my head. Hair in my eyes at the scope is enough of a nuisance that I've never ruled it out completely.
