Wowee, it's been a long day.
Woke up at 6am with the worst headache of my life, so painful that I was throwing up. Couldn't even keep water down, what the shit! It was awful. I pulled the covers over my head, cried a little bit because I didn't have any asprin in the house, and set my alarm for 10am. And then kept setting it back as I kept waking up and not feeling any better, until I looked over and realized it was 12.30pm and I had to be at work at 1pm. Cue mad dash, right? Got over to my work just in time to buy some asprin, down it and a Rockstar, and then throw myself head in even though I couldn't see straight and every movement felt like I was going to ralph up the water I'd washed the pills down with. Then I worked until 10pm. Took care of a party with about 15 7-year-olds, was busy in the front the rest of the time, took about a half an hour break during the 9 hours that I worked. Didn't start feeling better until 4pm, which was when the birthday party I was playing party wench to started. And then I closed, all by myself, at 10pm, which I'd NEVER DONE BEFORE.
However! I am happy. Because guess what? We started adding in a 10% gratuity to birthday parties, meaning whoever plays party wench gets a fat tip and I cleared about 40 freaking dollars from my party. I splurged and got myself a really delicious burger from Applebees, which is right across the way, and some really nice quality beer and damn, it was good. 40$!!
Work has been fun lately, actually. Guess what I did for an hour on Wednesday? Popped bubble wrap. We got this big shipment in and my boss asked me to break down the boxes. I say, what about all this bubble wrap? He goes, oh, just stomp on it so that it'll all fit in one trash bag.
".... Really? REALLY?"
It was awesome.

I do want to say a huge thank you to everyone that responded to my post the other day, about my grandmother. I replied to one person and then was just ... too exhausted to reply to everyone else, but every single comment was appreciated. You guys don't know how much. It really meant a lot to me to have so much support, so thank you. She's doing better; she's still coming in and out of consciousness, but they're optimistic about her progress and hope for her recovery.

Also, a huge hello to all of the new people on my flist! I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the fics enough to want to stick around. Introduce yourself, if you like - pleasure to meet you and all that.
I think I'm going to write a sonnet about gay sex for my History of Aesthetics class. I think my teacher would dig it.
