So rather than do nothing all day Saturday but dye my hair and just let it condition all day, now I had to do my hair (and it was a fail, because I tried a new developer and it didn't lift for shit. Word of advice - if you've been doing something a certain way, using a certain product, for 15 years, and it works exactly the way you want, don't change it.) then hurry up and get ready to go out.
It was so worth it though. Luenell is hilarious, plus I brought my friend Liz who I haven't seen in forever (she's a nurse, works ridiculous shifts, very hard to pin her down), as well as Kim and my sister-in-law. You may remember I hated her guts for awhile, and sometimes she still gets on my nerves, but we've bonded over how much we can't stand another person. (Summary, this person was a friend of mine but I've slowly come to realize she's kind of a narcisstic, slightly racist idiot.)
Then Sunday rolls around and I get invited to a game night. Then Monday I ended up having to do a little bit of work. Wasn't too bad of a day, only put in a couple hours, made a decent dent in the week. As of today (Wednesday) I hope to hit my weekly goal, so that anything tomorrow and Friday (and Saturday, if I decide to work) is just extra. Which is always a great thing!
Luckily, I got all caught up on messages anyway, I foolishly (or wisely?) parted ways with almost $75 because it was my turn to get the credits. Sold $285 million worth of items. Gave $10 million to the city (5 to the city, 2.5 to the school, 2.5 to the mentor program) and put the rest into the record label. Feeling good.
And now...
the Family Rundown:
Senia is a widow. Again. For real. And it happened on their anniversary. She's devastated, but this gives her a whole new reason to get mad at OG Richard, because if he had never come back, back in '67, she could have had over 40 years with RJ Richard.
Natalia, Chelsea, Troy, Nate, Parker, Maddi, Olivia, Logan... they still exist. Bet you never thought you'd see a day I'd lump Maddi in with those others. To be fair, she has taken on a new project - directing. And while she was the de facto leader when she and Avery were in TF, now Avery is in charge of her. Oooo. I still haven't ruled out a return to music with her, but it's hard enough with the other bands.
Which reminds me, Dulce, yes, Dulce, joined this one band to help them out, because they didn't really know what they were doing, the two band members had no skills, no traits, nothing. The first few shows, Dulce's role was dancer and she didn't even have stage events - and was still scoring highest. But somehow, my 'help' has become my doing everything (even in game life, you can't let people know you're good at something, or they'll just expect you to do it!). I'm definitely going to have to pawn some of that off because she's not going to be in the band forever.
Amelia has news that she's excited to share (still looking for her to have more friends)! And might have more news soon after that.
Levi's been getting high as a kite, he even peer pressured Lexi into smoking with him, even gave her one of his bongs. He's running around with 4 more though!
Speaking of Lexi, she's embracing her diversion, but considering making a bold move.
Aerin is getting ready to start her residency. She's met someone new and is curious to see where it goes.
Jensen is a smitten kitten.
Maddox will have a life at some point, I swear.
Archer is still a baby to me. So I'm not worrying about him yet.
As for me... Almost there. Final stretch of hell. One more month and then I can breathe a little bit, for a little bit. So close.... so close...
