though I didn’t feel like a won any races today, but I did get through it, yay me. the weeks do seem to be going by, and so does the year, yet another one. this one might be hard to get through, today wore me out. doghouse went swimmingly this morning without any issues. I got a cool new latte art pour today called a hanging heart. I could replicate it, but nothing as good or consistent. I was really proud of that art actually.

school went well. two of my customers from the grove came in (at the same fucking time), which was so nice for the practice and support. I did really well in my cut, it was a simple 90 degree which made things much easier. it was fun and easy. I don’t know.. something in my brain just hasn’t clicked yet “getting” hair cutting. I just feel like I’m missing a piece that will tie everything together. it’ll come, it just hasn’t yet. got through a couple facials and a shave today on the mannequin for signatures. actually, I showed one facial to my instructor, who didn’t want to watch me do three in a row, understandably, so he just signed off on all of them and I went through them on my own. that trust is nice, but also the freedom to not be attached to repeating those things in front of my instructor.

oh man getting from school to work was so chaotic. also, my home has been an absolute tornado disaster. I have laundry everywhere to dry, except it’s been rainy so things take longer to dry, which also means I don’t have bedding and wore wet pants to work this morning. so between stumbling over that, getting gas after school, trying to eat, and doing a quick clean up, I was at home for 20 min in total. oh also, I was trying to close my door in my bathroom and caught the hand with my food in it. thankfully I didn’t spill much, but I spilled enough for it to look like someone projectile vomited in my bathroom, so that was fun to clean up when I’m trying to get out the door.

work number 2 went well. a couple customers who had come in a few days ago and left me a $100 tip for school, which was insanely kind of them, returned and I was able to send them a drink, compliments of me, of course. I did get busy at one point but most of the night was pretty calm. okay falling asleep trying to write this. I enjoy my time, but I do miss getting to enjoy the smaller things in this big world.
