So, I have made it to Florida... FINALLY unpacked pretty much today. I started my job last Wednesday and I am very excited about it! I think that the location will be perfect and I was glad to find out that I actually do remember how to do hair:o)
The salon isnt nearly as busy as I want it to be but I will do the best I can to get myself going and once I'm going, I will know that it was my determination that got me there. Unlike Hair Cuttery, I actually do have to self promote or I will find myself sitting around for 8 hours and for anyone who has sat with me... I can't sit for more than like 20 min. This past week has driven me nuts in that sense, but when I get ancy, I just walk outside and pass out flyers. I had an event yesterday and passed out around a hundred, I will be scoping UCF Wednesday and then will be having another event Thursday... I really hope all this pays off. I just have to get contacts and then I can start promoting via email.
JJ (my dog) has been having eye problems in Virginia and they were from his allergies... the allegens up there caused him to have dry eyes which made him produce muscus like film... gross. It was still doing it down here and a few days ago I got home and noticed his right eye totally closed. I tried to clean it but he screamed horribly. Then I noticed something so frightening; JJ had a hole in his eye. A real.... pretty good size hole. I took him to the emergency vet Sat and he stayed the night there while they had a specialist come in. First they said it was an ulcer and then I get a call Sunday saying he has to get surgery- It's trauma based. Something had happened to him: a cat, a stick... I dont know but my poor dog had a hole in his eye. They sewed his 3rd eyelid shut. The 3rd eyelid is actually a flap of skin under the top eyelid. They do this because every time he opens his eye, it causes more irritation to the wound. So, I picked him up last night, his eye is sewn shut, and he could barely see out of his other eye. He stayed up all night crying. It was devastating. Today his sewn eye has been oozing and I've probably called the vet 5 times...were on a first name basis now. His eye has to stay shut for 3 weeks. If it does not heal, they have to remove his right eye. If it does not heal... I am considering putting him down. This first surgery has already spent every penny I have saved while in Virginia- plus some. The second surgery... I just cant do. SO... I am spending as much time as I can with him and watching his healing carefully to make sure there are no problems. I refuse to let anything stop him from healing. So.. I will just stay optimistic.
Rob and I found a place last week that we love- everything was perfect. Unfortunately, I wont be able to move out anytime soon with my little man spending everything I have. But... it is definitely something to look forward to. I have been reccommended to read Dave Ramseys book on how to save and elminate debt... lol... I've been trying to decide whether or not to spend the $15 dollars on his book to read about it. hahaha. I'll probably get it next week sometime. Hopefully I will learn some good pointers!
Well... I started this blog off in a good mood talking about my job, now ending it sad bc this whole thing with JJ sucks. I'm gonna go head upstairs and keep him company. I hope everyone is doing great and I will try to blog every now and then to update you on life in Fl. Love you all.
