Right This Moment

Currently feeling very peaceful and relaxed... trying not to think about the fact that after working open to close today, I have to get up in 7 hours and go back to work. Tis the season I guess. But for now, I'm going to hold on tightly to how wonderful I'm feeling right this moment.

My consolation prize for having to come in on my day off and work all day, was that I was in training and didn't have to deal with customers for more than 5 minutes out of the entire day. Bliss. Don't get me wrong, I love the genuine one on one connections I make with customers, but dealing with masses of people (i.e. holiday and busy weekends) is NOT my favorite. It's the one on one connections I dig. Not the crowds or obnoxious people solely looking for a damn deal. And treating retail workers like shit in the process. But I digress. I trained new associates all day. The last batch of seasonal associates are now ready to hit the floor!

As I was driving home this evening I had to give myself a mental pat on the back for getting through the day with a minimum of negativity. I easily could have been irritated by the loss of a day off, but I honestly didn't mind going in. I could always use the extra money. The current culture within SLT (the sales leadership team) and the relationship we have with the associates is in a very good place. Better than it has been in a long time. It truly makes going to work that much more enjoyable.

I got to hang out with the little ones for a bit before they headed off to bed and I retired to my room. I felt like some self-care was in order. I'm ashamed to admit I haven't been very consistent with my yoga. I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone (that saying is SO not vegan) and give myself a facial while I practiced. I mixed up a bentonite clay mask with apple cider vinegar, lemon aloe witch hazel, and Jamaican black castor oil. Basically all the things my skin loves. I applied it nice and thick and commenced with my yoga. 30 minutes in I totally lost focus. As the mask dried it started to tighten on my face and pull all those microscopic little baby hairs. Even the slightest facial expression was distracting. By 40 minutes, little bits of clay started flaking off and getting all over me and the floor. I rushed through the rest of the poses and had to call it quits. All I could think about was getting into a nice hot shower and washing that mask off!

So that's what I did. A nice, hot shower. Despite the irritation and distraction, there is nothing smoother than my face after a clay mask comes off. Luscious. I love it. I did something else in the shower that in all my years of existence as a sexually mature woman, I've never done before... I pleasured myself in the shower. Honestly, I was kind of surprised by how quickly I came. Not because I don't know what I'm doing, just because it was a different environment and a new experience. As much as I love my husband, sex lately has been lackluster at best. He's having performance issues and I don't know how to help him with that. I don't want him to feel bad when he fails, so I just haven't been asking or initiating encounters. I'd rather handle it myself and not end up frustrated and disappointed.

After I was done showering, I massaged myself down (head to toe) with monoi oil (which smells heavenly if you've never smelled it before). Now I'm ready for bed. I'm so relaxed it shouldn't be too difficult to get to sleep.

Tomorrow is going to be another great day. No reason for it not to be...
