Everything is going really well so far I got discharged today, got home and actually forgot my painkillers on time(which means the pain is almost gone!)
The result looks really nice already, but the final result won't be appearent before 6 months have passed. I am excited!
Not sure if it was worth two days on forced bedrest in a smelly, sweaty hospital bed, but I am excited!

I'm kind of tired and my feet are a little sore but so far I really like my new job.

That's awesome Sol! I didn't quite catch it, what is the nature of the job?

I did a thing!
These journalist students needed meat for an interview assignment, and I agreed to tell them about costume making - which I am just beginning to take up now.
The costume showed as the first one in the clip is a prototype that's not done. It's too narrow(I fixed this in MK.II), the shoulderpads are silly(also fixed in MK.II) and I still need to figure out a belt or sash as well as arm- and footbraces.
Admire the messiness that is my appartment!

I'm working at a place called The Wedding Ring Shop, it's a locally owned high end jeweler. Most of what I'm doing right now is customer service, greeting people when they come in, getting them coffee or tea, pairing them up with a sales associate, and of course wiping down the counters every 15 minutes because smudges make the jewelery look less pretty. Soon I'll also be processing paperwork for financing, insurance, that kind of stuff. Our most important function as concierge is to contain the crazy-ness that is our sales team, which is why we assign a sales rep to a client, we don't just let whoever comes over fastest because while they are for the most part really nice people they are like sharks that smell blood in the water when a client comes in, which is also why our desk is right outside the entrance to the sales floor, people don't go in until we know who we are going to take them to. I mean I don't blame them, they work on commission and with one good sale they can earn what I make in a week (and I'm not complaining about what I make, we just have some really high ticket items), I'd probably be a little aggressive too.

I got some new pants for work yesterday and both pairs were on sale for more than half off, yay! Now I actually have more than one option on mornings when I don't have time to/don't feel like shaving my legs.

I love winter. Being fully clothed all-the-time, no one sees my legs ever.

Funny, I always find it quite enjoyable not wearing pants. It is the number one perk of living alone: pants are always optional.

I feel like wearing pants at home isn't right. Like I can't go 5 minutes lounging in jeans. Undies or jammie shorts for the win. Also screw bras.

Not seeing my legs ever leads to never shaving my legs. Which I don't mind but when I occasionally do shave I have to sacrifice a new blade that I can't reuse after that one session.

Wow that must get pricey! I use one razor over a period of like 2 months. Is that bad? are there health detriments that I'm unaware of?

Oh girl, get yourself an electric hair trimmer, that way you can get the bulk of the hair and still be able to re-use your razor... that's what I do anyway... um... cause usually I keep myself a nice rug.. but every once in a while I like to sacrifice my beautiful sparkly hair for the awesome smoothness of shavedness. Usually cause lotion just doesn't quite go on to hairy legs right.

The only downside to living here is that I always have to shave because I could end up going to the beach at pretty much any time, which I guess is a fair price for such lovely beaches

It's more that salt water makes leg hair feel super gross and most of the beaches don't have a place to shower but yeah the stares of strangers is annoying

So, I'm feeling exceptionally well - almost as good as new. Discounting the velcro closing drilling into my skin of course - who invented velcro anyway???

Welp I'm officially old and boring, I enjoyed my company's employee appreciation dinner way more than Jake's friend's birthday party we went to afterwards

I'm sitting here waiting for the roast dinner to be done. Serves me right, I rested too long after work and got the food on late.
