(a highly-compensated re-enactor above,
showing my expression and hair at sign-in)
—
while signing-in at the salon
i asked the receptionist
what the date was
to which she replied,
“oh, let me look. it changes every day. this keeps happening.”
(not ironically)
i nodded in agreement and finished signing in.

Not sure I should laugh or cry. Maybe that’s why she’s the receptionist.. but still.
