It Never Stops Being Weird

Several times today I had regular customers comment/compliment me on how helpful I always am when they come in. I'm not sure if their kind words fueled my success, or if my resolve to have a good day (or else!) was the deciding factor. Today is Day 1 of 5. I wanted to start my work week out on a positive note. Mission accomplished.

At one point I thought for sure my good vibe was about to be shattered. Last week (or maybe the week before) I had a customer come in and drop over a thousand dollars. Problem was, she didn't want to try anything on. That's a sure sign that there's a large return in your future. Well, she came in today with two bags of merchandise she wanted to return. I'd worked so hard the first segment. I thought for sure her return was about to totally undo it. But instead of getting upset about it, I accepted it. I helped her exchange a few items (which helped lessen the blow). All told, I took about a $265 hit. Not too bad considering how much she'd purchased. It didn't affect my day too much. I finished strong.

I also helped a very interesting man named Edward. He came in looking for a bra we stopped carrying in 2013. I showed him the closest bra we had to it, and we found a matching panty. From there it got strange. He confided in me that him and his "lady friend" were part of a swingers club, and that he needed to purchase some lingerie that she could were in the club. I guess the open area (not in the private rooms) required some sort of clothing (not full nudity). So, I showed him some satin slips and kimonos. He spent a good portion of our time together looking at my body and comparing his "lady friend" to me. He wanted to know what my favorite bra is, what lingerie I'd wear, etc. When we'd finally made all of his selections I placed him in line and that's when he asked me if I was interested in being a model for a friend of his who sews leather dresses. Apparently I have the perfect shape for that. Okay... first of all, I'm vegan. So, hell no! Second of all, ew. That's weird. He commented that he could tell from the way I carry myself that I've been doing this a long time. Yes, I have been being objectified for a very long time... It never stops being weird.

My review on Black '84 (as I prepare to take tonight's dose) is a good one. It's amazing how the different strains actually to affect you differently. Black '84 is definitely more of a body high, as opposed to a head high. There was a little of that, but mostly I just felt the most lovely tingling sensation in all of the areas where I normally feel pain. At first I didn't really feel anything. Then there was a cooling sensation in my back and hips. Then a warmth. Then a tingle. Then just total relaxation. Unlike with Evergreen Berry, I didn't feel the desire to laugh. I felt more like a warm, heavy blanket was being laid across my brain. I just wanted to sleep. I felt peaceful, calm, safe, and very, very relaxed. I slept amazingly. It's definitely medicinal. It isn't suited so much for recreational use, because I didn't feel all that "stoned". It felt very much like taking a Vicodin and passing out. When I woke up this morning, there was no haze or fog. I was ready to go. I'm very pleased. I'll stick with this strain unless something changes in my pain levels (which I hope it will once I start working out again). I think my pain is worse when I'm not exercising.

Speaking of exercising, I got the confirmation email from Snap that my key fob is on it's way. I can go in and work out while the facility is staffed while I wait for my fob, but with my schedule at the moment, that isn't meshing well. No one is there by the time I get off, and you know how I feel about early mornings. I'm not motivated enough to get up super early just to work out. Not yet. I know once I get back into it, I definitely will get that desire back. I miss it. I also miss being in shape. Soon enough... I'll get back there.
