Came up snake eyes. Every place was closed shut -- except one. For some reason, the woman is there, but not working. Told me to come back next week. When I told her that it was a shame because I wanted a gel manicure (silk wraps) and a pedicure, her eyes lit up and insisted I come back next week. So I told her that I was going to go to my regular place when they open tomorrow.
