wrapped around your fingers

This has been a really difficult week. In a few fell swoops, I was almost lost two people close to me, one of my best friends lost someone close, I was reminded of a lot of things I didn't want to be reminded of, etc...

And yet through all of this, Chris has been there for me, like a lighthouse on a coast, or a tree through a storm. You're the steed that saves me from every battle I try to weather on my own... and I'm so glad I have something to hang on to when I'm about to fall apart, and it feels like everything else is too.

My brother got into a bike accident. He's ok, thank eris. but he's recovering, very out of it, cracked some mouth parts, ripped himself pretty bad. He's good though, alive, and making it, only a couple stitches... just really scary.
Leigh Anne had alcohol poisoning, but she's doing great now. Just really scary to hug someone you've been really close to at various points in your life and feel them about to ignite at a ridiculously high temperature and covered in sweat.
And my condolences to the Dunns... our closest friends for a long time. Our thoughts(and sigils!) with you.

On a less intense note, I didn't get to do color today. I did a pedicure and a haircut. So I would be lucky to get 10$ in tips tomorrow (probably more like 5) when I could have gotten 25. Hoorah.

But I know I'm cutting a few people's hair this week. So I can make a little money there. I plan on calling some schools to see if they need some volunteer stylists for student events, maybe films or shows or things.

Heck, as soon as I get my license, I can just go on craigslist and put out flyers. I'll look into some legal stuff, but it should be too hard for me, so long as I claim what I make.
I hope it's that simple.

Here's to less intense news the rest of the year. The most intense I want is pay raises, A's and B's, unions with family and friends, and surprisingly large amounts of money from mundane situations.

Thank you to everyone, for your concern and thoughts and prayers. It is appreciated and cherished!
