I May Go Months

I'm not sure how it's after 1am... the evening definitely got away from me. I had a great day, but for whatever reason it came to screeching halt around 9pm. My good day didn't become any less good. Strangely, I all of a sudden felt down. Kind of dragging. I wouldn't say I started feeling depressed, but it could have been a depressive episode. I pulled up into the driveway, but I couldn't muster the desire/energy/will to gather up my bags and come into the house. I sat in my car, in the driveway, for almost an hour. Finally I came inside and started cooking myself dinner. But after it was all cooked and plated, I didn't even feel like eating it. I took a few bites, then put the rest away in the fridge. I made myself a cup of tea, then accidentally dumped it all over my nightstand. Needless to say, I'm feeling like I should just go to sleep. But first, more about my day:

I had a couple really positive customer interactions. Two breast cancer survivors. Toy, and Tasha. Toy had gotten reconstruction a few years ago, but then had to have another biopsy, which made her smaller on her left right side. So, we found her a couple styles that evened her out and gave her good lift. I only did what I always do (for every customer), but I guess it made a huge impact for her, because she called the store later and asked to speak with the store manager, so she could tell Sara directly how amazing I was. That's such a huge compliment. I really do love the interactions one on one with my customers. I don't love social situations, but it doesn't feel like an awkward social interaction when we're one on one in the fitting rooms.

Tasha came in later in the afternoon. She'd recently gotten her stomach fat redeposited as new breasts a few months ago (which is really amazing, if you think about it). She wasn't the same size she was before the cancer took her breasts, but she was trying to squeeze into her too small older bras, and it was causing her pain. I got her measured and had her tried on some different styles. She found one she loved so much, you wore it out of the store! It's interactions like this that keep me doing what I'm doing. I may go months without a warm and fuzzy situation, and today I had two. Which makes the depressive episode I had once I arrived home so strange. It was almost like I needed to power down. Too much excitement for one day. It was pretty busy on top of it all.

I need to read a book. I have gotten really behind on my reading. I was thinking about it as I cleaned up all the tea I spilt on my nightstand. There are 4 books sitting next to me, just waiting to be read. I need to get on that.
