I'm on the first of two days off, back to back, and so far I have accomplished a bit. I was up at 9:50 and out the door by 10:20, heading to the Farmers' Market for their Pride Market. I may have bought a bit more than I had originally intended on, but I love being able to support local vendors. I have another wand to add to my collection - not sure with HP franchise it is from, but it's lovely all the same - and a couple of books to add to my collection. And two stickers that caught my attention.

Now I'm sitting in a coffee shop taking a break from working on my novel. The plan is to eventually head to Value Village to see if anything new has come in that I could add to my wardrobe. And I also want to stop at a Dollarama at some point today or tomorrow to pick up a foam roller and a yoga belt to help with the stretches I need to do for my physio homework.

Back to work on Tuesday morning where I will be working on cancelling and rebooking appointments, giving people the bad news that three of our estheticians are not coming back from leave. The entire situation there is stupid as instead of talking to the manager about recent changes to the commission structure the estheticians are opting to go on leave and not coming back, all because they don't agree with the changes that were made. None of them have bothered to look deeper into the changes and are simply blaming the person/people they see as responsible for these changes. Little do they realize that for the commission structure is that if it had gone out the way the manager they're all so devoted to had originally devised, that it would have been much more restrictive and with a much higher target amount that was entirely unrealistic to meet.

I am a little put out over one of the estheticians that have decided to take this childish move as she had become my nail tech. But unless we get another gel nail tech in I will likely be filing the gel mostly off my nails and going with acrylic that I can apply myself. I finally have the length I like and other than the gel overlay my natural nails are long - no more fake tips at this time. And I really do not want to go back to just my natural nails as they are really weak and tend to shred way too easily. I know I could reach out to her to take me on as a private client, but the more I have thought about what's going on the more I realize that I don't want to deal with somebody so childish. Don't get me wrong, I love the job she has done on my nails, but I don't like the attitude that is going along with the shit at work.

But right now I need to get back to writing for a bit. As in working on my novel instead of a blog post :P

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
