(no subject)
richie started his new job, overnight at target this past week. i think we both hate it at this point. he works 10:30pm-7am, which means i have to wake up at 6:45am and pick him up, then come home and go back to sleep. it's not really that it's not allowing me enough sleep, because he made sure to only work days that i don't have to work early, but it does suck to wake up when its still dark out and scrape the ice off my car and things like that. that i can deal with really, i just hate having to sleep alone. it fucking sucks, i'm cold and i have a hard time falling asleep without him there. when you get used to always having someone there every night to hold you til you fall asleep, and then you go back to sleeping by yourself it's a very empty feeling. i leave the door open for the cats to come in, and sometimes they do, which is nice, but it's not the same. richie hates it because it's really hard on his body and he feels like death by the time he's done. it kind of has to be done right now though. gotta make the money somehow.
went to a color class this morning which was awesome, i got so much out of it. i learned a lot of new techniques, some of which i tried this evening at work, some of which i know exactly who i want to try them on. it's so exciting filling your head with new information on a subject you love, color classes make me feel creative. sometimes when people ask for the same thing over and over again you just feel like you're stuck in a rut. luckily i have many clients who love me and trust me to do whatever i think will look good on their hair, so i will most definitely be doing a lot of fun stuff in the near future. some of the techniques we learned today were things i already sort of "made up" by myself and never had a name for. so it's good to know that i'm thinking on the level of the people in the top of my field. i am really tired now though, i've been doing/watching hair for the past 12 hours.
