I had a really crappy day.

 

Started with my second very expensive machine getting broken so I had to reschedule an appointment.

I have to send it to the factory in friggin Germany, where the first one is, and it takes them up to 8-9 weeks to fix them. 

I was looking for my card to pay for the third one when I slipped, fell and twisted my ankle, which instantly became really swollen.

I live on a fifth floor without an elevator, fun. 

I managed to limp downstairs and get an uber to the doctor, get it looked at, and at least its not broken. 

Me and my cankle came back and I had to tattoo with another machine that I just bought (a fraction of the cost) but I don't love.

And I have to work tomorrow. 

 

so.... yeah. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ouch :(

 

Today I will be attempting to fit a new stereo in my 🚗, I can't change the fuse in a plug without opening another one to check the wiring.....don't know what could go wrong 😂😂

Everything crossed for a smooth and stress free journey

Going to kohls for more business attire and maybe a bikini if I'm lucky.  If not bikini will be found on Monday since thats my next day off.  I love 9 days in a row because we have to fire people.  Well if you're a moron you rather deserve it.  

I did my first interview as the interviewer!  Girl is totally getting hired too.

feeling incredibly down today.

I feel like every time I try to be positive about the process something else happens 

my ankle is purple and swollen, I'm limping up and down the stairs taking care of clients,

and I'm puffy from crying myself to sleep last night.

On the bright side my husband is arriving in a week, only for a few days but it's something.

I can't wait for this year to be over.

This process is the worlds craziest roller coaster, it takes a bigger toll when one of you is unwell - during our process Redneck had knee surgery, I was hospitalized and a young family member lost his fight with cancer - I reckon it's all sent to test the strength of your relationship!

 

Be kind to yourself and hang on to the fact you'll see him soon :)

 

Car has defeated me, I am handing a man money to fit it tomorrow - he says it'll take 45 mins - it's taken me hours and I didn't even get the old one out 😂😂😂
