Another Year Over
Dec. 31st, 2021 07:00 pmAs 2021 draws to a close, I can say it's definitely been a... year. Probably a better one than 2020, but then the bar was set pretty damn low for that.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas. It was nice that Rob was able to join us this year, so it was the three of us again. What was less nice is that Tormund still doesn't like him being here. It's weird, if Rob is standing or sitting still then Tormund is absolutely fine, and sometimes even friendly, but as soon as Rob moves even a little then Tormund's back to barking and growling at him. I wish I knew what was going through that dog's head.
My week since Christmas has been pretty tiring. One of our managers is sick, so I've been opening every day and trying to keep on top of everything. On Monday I was by myself for the first hour we were open, which was not ideal!
I went to the hairdresser earlier and saw a new stylist cos my previous one left (I'm assuming that cutting my hair was such an overwhelming experience she had no choice but to give up her vocation and move to the wilderness). He was really nice. He also said my hair was very stubborn and did what it wanted when he was trying to style it. So I'm glad to know that my constant failures at getting my hair to behave aren't just due to my lack of ability!
I also got complimented twice on my clothing choices by two separate people. One of the ladies in the salon said she loved my jumper and then as I was walking back another lady said "that's a fabulous dress you've got on". So that was lovely.

My plan for tonight is to try and stay awake until midnight to see in the new year with a glass of champagne. I might struggle, as I was up at 6 this morning, but I don't have work tomorrow so I can crash immediately after and sleep as long asI want Tormund will let me.
