Rabbit Or Habit

My big hit of a halloween costume!

Shame on me. I've waited far too long to post a new blog.

It's been exactly eleven days since my last post, and boy have the events been flowing in. 
Here's the run down:

- I've officially spoken to my district visual manager, the man who makes the ultimate decision of whether I move to Brooklyn with a job or not. Sure, I can leave for Brooklyn tomorrow and easily have a place to live, but that would mean that I have to job hunt pronto. And with the feedback I've gotten from those who are looking for a legit, scratch that, any paying job right now, it's not sounding very promising. The skinny? He's going to talk to the visual manager of both downtown Brooklyn, and Herald Square. I'm terrified and don't think that I'm the least bit qualified for a responsibility like Herald Square, but apparently, he does. I'll take that and run, thank you very much.

- My birthday (October 26th), was a blast. I had no high hopes for my birthday, being that it was a monday and all and I am unfortunately acquainted with people who work (kind of), but all of my friends/family pulled through amazingly. I really did have the best birthday. I'd also like to take a moment to all of my readers/followers who wished me happy birthday. A few of you even CALLED and got all personal about it. You're all amazing. Thanks for making my day!

- I went to a halloween party last weekend, and dressed up as a Dios De Los Muertes (day of the dead) skeleton. It was a huge hit/success. Some girl even showed me that she had a tattoo of "me". Impressive. Now I want one too. I'd like to dress up as my halloween costume on a daily basis, but I fear that I might ruin my vintage lace dress. Ok, that, and it's not socially acceptable .... yet. 

- I hurt my back pretty badly at work this past tuesday. (Yes, the day after my birthday.) I was lifting a mannequin at work and whipped a couple of muscles and my rotator cuff out of place. I'm out of commission for now, and on some pretty gnarly meds to heal me up. Unfortunately, the meds aren't working so well ... the only thing they do is make me feel like I'm a little body of a girl made up of no bones at all, just mush, with a terrible sleeping habit. These things knock me out and keep me there. Hate it. I have too much that I want to do to sleep my days away. So, after too many xrays, tons of headaches because of workman's comp/insurance companies, phone calls from a lady named "Deery", and too many hardcore meds, I'm nothing but a bump on a log, aka a marshmallow on my couch. 

All in all, things have been going pretty well. I have a few fresh ideas in my head of things that I'd like to get started doing, I just need to allocate the time needed to do these things. I hate starting up projects and failing to finish. Open ended things were never my deal. And that's how I feel like things have been left, open faced, like a hot turkey sandwich.

Also, the long awaited tattoo is nearing! I'll post pictures when it happens. I can't give too may details, I always jinx myself. 

Hope you all have been having the time of your lives. Keep on kickin', kids!
