Year 50 Day 49

Me standing next to a bookcase; on the shelf beside me is a mannequin head with wavy brown hair wearing a pastel rainbow disposable face mask.

Day 49: Just hanging out with my wife’s Head, which I’m keeping displayed on a shelf in my work office. Just prior to the pandemic, a hairdresser’s dummy head mysteriously appeared in my wife’s faculty office on campus. When she moved to an administrative position at the college, the Head moved with her. Now that she’s moving back from administration to a tenure-track faculty position, she’s switching offices once again, and as she has the summer off, I get to babysit the Head until she can move into her new office. We’re pretty sure the Head is enjoying its change of scenery for the summer.
