can’t sleep

ah! i don’t want to be awake this late.

tired!

ah! i don’t want to be awake this early.

today i fell down

i fell down 3 times! i guess you have to learn to walk in clogs similar to how you need to learn to walk in heals.

in other news, i got my job back temporarily. i told them they could call me if any shifts opened up and a few did. i’m still looking for another job though and i am still going to the going away party my coworkers are throwing me tonight. it’ll be a little awkward giving them this news.

i got some new shoes

remember my earlier post about those hideous, yet comfortable, shoes i bought for school? well, i do love what those shoes do for my feet but fashionably speaking, they don’t cut it.  i still plan to wear them on the days i wear pants that almost cover them completely, but on the other days, i am going to wear my new shoes.

lately i’ve been slacking on the comfort shoes and have been wearing cuter shoes that have no support and, after 9 hours of standing, make my feet feel like i’ve been running barefoot on rocks for months with no rest. for a while i have considered getting a pair of dansko clogs but due to my financial situation, i’ve felt uncomfortable about spending that kind of money. however, the horrible pain i feel every day after school and work has left me with no choice but to budget for a pair of good, relatively stylish, shoes.

so the decision was made and i decided to get a pair–and then i got laid off. to be honest, one of the first things that crossed my mind when i got canned was: shit, now i can’t get those shoes! but then i said fuck it and i got them before i could talk myself out of it.

i’ll admit they aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when i think ’stylish’ but brian’s unexpected enthusiasm definitely sealed the deal. he thinks clogs are awesome, i’m in love with him, so i think clogs are awesome too. actually, after thinking about it for a while i realized they have this funky thing going on and i dig that. i also dig the fact that they are INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE!

so there you go, i got these clunky cloggies and i am pretty excited about the future comfort of my feet.

two shitty things

two shitty things happened at work today:

1.  our stinky drunk regular came in and pooped all over our bathroom and then walked through his own waste and tracked it all throughout the store. we had to shut down the cafe for an hour so we could do a deep clean.

2. after cleaning the poop, me and a coworker got laid off.

amazing dinner

i came home from a busy night at work to an amazing dinner!  brian made a vegetarian french dip sandwich!

he used portabello mushrooms, melted stinky (aka delicious) swiss cheese and toasted a fancy looking baguette for the bread. the dip was almost dead-on the traditional dip, except it was vegan. the sandwich was accompanied by a yummy roasted red pepper tomato soup. i was very impressed.

would have posted a picture but i ate it up before i got the chance.

for dessert, we had none. it was my responsibility but i totally forgot to bring it home! i feel like a jerk.

what if i ate a rotten saba?

i just had sushi with brian. we got the saba as usual because usually it’s AMAZING. tonight we must have gotten a bad cut. brian says that it was just a tougher part of the fish, perhaps a more fatty part. but i thought that along with the odd texture there was also a weird taste. i hope it wasn’t rotten!

Update: I made it through the night.

delicious breakfast

bagel + cream cheese + scrambled egg, coffee & oj = delicious breakfast

i feel like i’ve pushed passed something with school. it’s incredible, i’m learning something new with each client. before my accident, i was doing well but i guess i really needed a vacation because i feel like the first day back i was better (even after not doing hair for 3 weeks) than i was the last day of school before the accident that lead to my leave of absence.

in other news, i haven’t been making much food at home (except for breakfasts). it’s hard when i don’t get back from school until 8 or 10, or i work late on the days i’m not going to school. i wish i was cooking more meals but it’s just not happening with brian’s and my schedule. i’ll try to figure something out. in the meantime, i did join yelp.com so i can rate all the places i’ve been eating at. i’m also reading a lot of reviews about different salons i am interested in.

okay, i better buy wally some litter and a scratching post. got to go. later.

leftovers

i just ate leftover tamales that i got the other night from burrito loco. they were very comforting.

i don’t want to go to work today. i don’t feel very well and it’ll just be frustrating.

tomorrow i am getting a trim and maybe a color? i’m pretty nervous but it’ll be an interesting change.

vomit, headache
