Last week I had one of the sweetest customers ever. She is 80-something. She came into the store wearing what looked like a nightgown. She was there with a friend from church. She tells me that she had been taking care of her daughter until recently - her daughter had just passed away. She had no idea what size clothes she wore, because she hadn't gone shopping for herself in years. She has a large stomach, but skinny legs so most bigger sizes are too wide for her. I help her out, have her try on a couple sizes, get her what she needs. When she gets to the counter, she hugs me and starts crying because she's so happy she finally has clothes that fit her. I'm trying my hardest not to start crying too. I ended up giving her a card with our number and my name on it and telling her to feel free to call me whenever she needs to. ♥♥
Today I got bitched at by a woman over some drama caused by free sunglasses. *le sigh* Everyone was trying to reassure me that it wasn't my fault and that the woman was being a drama queen. While I know this, I still wanted to cry. For like a minute, but I still hate that I let them get to me :/
I also work tomorrow, although thankfully only 9-5:30, and then I have Tuesday and Wednesday off.
Anyhoo... my friends and I are seriously trying to lose weight. Today was a bad day. Maybe it was because it's that time of month, maybe it's because of that woman today, but I ate like 2 bags of chips and a Snickers. Well, tomorrow's a new day. I'm being serious about it this time, if for no other reason than my stomach can't take what I used to eat. And having to get smaller sizes in my clothes has made me feel good.
I dyed my hair red again (it looks burgundy now) and I got (thickish) bangs. Sometimes a little change can make you feel really good/different ^_^
Listening to the Hairspray soundtrack has also kept me in a good mood. That and rewatching Star Trek: TOS episodes practically every night.
Fuck it. I spoke too soon. My mom's being a bitch again. I'll bitch and moan about her later.
