Forever In Search Of my Muse

~~~~ Yesterday was the last day of the incense store that i worked at. i have worked there off and on for the three years that it had been open and truly loved it there. They are still open as a business but only on line now http://www.tsrstore.com .

~~~~ my room mate and i drove out to the HIP (Harlem Irving Plaza) and got there at about 5:30pm and i started working on packing all the oils with one other person (Store Girl 1) while the owner and her husband worked on other things and we waited for the other store girl (Store Girl 2) to get there and for the mall to close so that Roommate could bring down his cargo van from the upper level parking to right outside the closest set of doors to the store. Everyone but Store Girl 1 busted there butts all night to get everything done. Store Girl 2 unfortunately had to go home early to relieve her babysitter but she busted her butt while she was there and really helped get a lot done. Store Girl 1 puttered around and pretended to be working but hardly did anything and WHINED and pouted like a little 2 year old. i really do not want to talk about Store Girl 1 though as it will just aggravate me more. Lets just leave it at saying that i told her twice what i thought about her act and behavior. By the end of the night i threw up because of the pain in my lower back and kept working while Store Girl 1 WHINED that she was tired and cried because i had given her a piece of my mind and i did not even yell at her. Believe you me she would have known if i had been yelling at her everyone would have known if i had been yelling at her.

~~~~ So, we worked on packing up the store and getting everything loaded into the cargo van. The first trip took the big stuff to the storage area and the second trip we packed the cargo van, mini van and car to the brim with merchandise and things that were needed in the office for the website. Then we all went to office and the owner, her husband, Roommate, and i unloaded all the vehicles and got the boxes and bins put neatly in the office. Can we guess what Store Girl 1 was doing? You got it whining and crying.

~~~~ We finished all of this at 3:30am and Roommate and i had to drive home still we got home at 4:51am and i had to eat something and take 2 of my Vicodin for my back so i got to bed at 5:40am and then was up at 6:45am to get my son off to school. i got back to bed at around 8am and slept until about 1:45pm. i just hope this does not mess up my sleep schedule. Plus today i have to be so very careful with my back and really can not do what i need to do around the house.

~~~~ The laundry will have to wait for another day i can not bend over to reach the bottom of the washer to get all the clothes out. i feel like a little old lady trying to walk around the house with my hips popping and knees snapping and toes cracking. Hey i am a rice crispy.... Snap Crackle Pop. All i really want to do is go back to bed and lay there sleeping or not just not moving but i can not do that. i have to spend time with my son and try to get somethings around the house done at a slow but steady pace. If i do not move around and do stuff today i am going to be SOOOO very sore tomorrow from all the lifting and everything that i did.
