Weird What Do I Do question

[peach]

I have been thinking for a while I really need to go get my hair cut before I have this baby.

then, an aquaintance on Facebook who has a little hair salon in her house posted that she had some spaces this afternoon. So I booked an appointment with her,over facebook the other day. Got a babysitter lined up for DD.

Then she facebooked me back this morning and said her kid is sick, could I come earlier. I said, sure, what time? Or would you rather I come another day?

Haven't heard back.....my appointment is in less than 3 hours....if I don't hear from her do I just not show or what?? I don't have her phone number.

If you don't hear back from her, I'd just keep the appointment as scheduled.

I know her one child has some major health problems though...asthma and severe allergies or something. I wonder if she's at the hospital, or too busy with him to check her messages. I don't want to show up there if that is the case.

I would message her and tell her since you haven't heard back another day would work better, and then post your phone number or ask for hers to set up another time. Since she's the one who cancelled/changed the original appointment I think it would be fine.

That's what I was thinking, just not sure if it would be rude not to show up at all. But i have waited all day for her to let me know what time to come and she hasn't responded. I am guessing her kid is really sick??

Yeah, I am assuming since you posted the backstory, she's got bigger things to deal with. I'd just wait, message her your phone number and see what she's says. Chances are if she's not that busy she'll call ASAP.

From your OP, she pretty much cancelled your original time when she asked if you wanted to come earlier, and you said "sure, what time" basically confirming the cancellation of the original appointment time. It's not rude to not show up if she initiated the time change/cancellation but hasn't communicated a new appointment time IMO.

Yeah, I'm with Wop. And I think I'd find someone else to cut my hair just so it didn't happen again. Shit happens, but you need to treat yourself before baby comes!
