Woke up this morning to icy, empty roads and the power still on. Ahh, what a relief! We had taken showers last night in case we had no hot water this morning, but thank goodness it wasn't necessary.
Unfortunately I may still have to go out today. I already wrote to cancel my client meeting, but I have a hair appointment in Chapel Hill at 11:30 and my show at 2. I'm really concerned about the haircut because I already had to reschedule once, and they made me wait three weeks that time. My hair is driving me crazy; I don't want to wait another day. Besides, I've been putting off renewing my drivers license until the hair appointment (that may sound vain, but for gosh's sakes, I'll have this photo for six years. Might as well try to make it a good one), and the license is going to expire on Thursday. So I really need that haircut. I called my hairdresser and left them a message asking them to call me back if they're open today.
Speaking of which, I found out why the DMV has been such a madhouse. Apparently on February 2 the regulations will change, making it much harder for legal immigrants to get a license. So the DMV is being flooded with people trying to get a license while they still can. Georg said he's been seeing people lined up outside the Chapel Hill DMV (on 54) before they open every morning. If they're going to discriminate against legal aliens, why couldn't they schedule it four days before my birthday instead of after? I blame John Ashcroft!
