I had things somewhat under control by the time I started ork at 8:00. I booked a reasonable number of clients so maybe I wouldn't suffer too much.

I was on the home stretch when it happened...an older couple I had booked for next Wednesday, showed up thinking it was today. I'm not talking a couple of quick haircuts, either. She was here for her perm! I had already started the day with a color and done several haircuts by the time they arrived. The poor woman looked so distraught that...well, you know what I did.

I was starting to crumble a bit by then, but didn't let them see it. After they left at 1:30, my neck and shoulders were really hurting, my feet were throbbing and I had/have spliting headache. The headaches have been coming on lately, but this one is really messing me up. Thankfully, I only booked 2 clients for tomorrow morning and I'm NOT bending on that!

Bending may not happen, anyway. It's 5:45 and I'm in pj's and slippers because even clothes and sneakers cause pain. I'm trying so hard to be self sufficient and productive, but there is no joy in killing myself every day, for what? Another day just like the last one?

I have a small request. My progressive lenses aren't focusing well on my computer monitor and my neck is so painful to try to move that I'm having to give up reading posts with extremely long paragraphs.

I know it's a strange to ask, but if you could break things up a bit...even if it dowsn't seem like it's time for a paragraph change, it would so much more comfortable for me to focus and read the longer posts. I feel like I'm missing a lot.

Thanks and many hugs,
Cherry (very tired haidresser)
