so my weekend wasn't the funnest. thursday i made some curry, with a slightly outdated paste. it was only slightly outdated, and i didn't think it was a huge deal. i have no idea if the subsequent events are related or not, but they could be. anyways. cue freakishly early friday morning. there is me, making friends with the toilet, and hurling my guts out.
friday morning was pretty rainy, and i was wearing spring clothes from the nice day before. with no umbrella, i wait in the rain for the bus. it came 5 mins early and i missed it, the other bus was 5 mins late. i tried to use my rev2 for a few drapes, then decided against it due to the rain and put it inside my bag. before this event my rev2 has been acting sketchy. i would press the button, but it would refuse to do anything, with no apparent warning. usually switching the control to "off" then "on" once more seemed to work.
when i made it home i was running a fever and overall feeling like as if i were going to die, and i had to work at 9 am. i never call in sick to work. i called the opening girl at the cafe i was due to be at, asked if i could just pull a lunch shift instead from 11-1. she said it was fine, and one of my awesome coworkers agreed to cover that shift for me. i then text awesome bosslady at the bar/venue and explain i can't come in. she had it covered within 5 mins.
i'm pretty fortunate to work in a few very supportive environments, but friday is usually my cash cow day. one or two double shift days during the week and i can usually bet on ~$600 extra per month. losing those days sucked, especially since i wasn't even able to play hooky and have any fun. my friday usually looks like: open or work midshift at the cafe. yoga. one cooler with dinner. work at the nightclub. not sick in bed dying all day.
saturday i was feeling a little bit better, but definitely not fantastic. so saturday night to sunday morning i work a 14 hr shift. 8 hr break, 4 more hrs. this is my regular scheduling at my main job, and it kind of feels like punishment (even though i know it isn't).
at the end of this, i go to visit boyfriend. or boyfriend's grumpy mood. i didn't notice, i was busy drinking and breaking my rev2. after dealing all day with the glitchy on-off thing, i went to squonk it and i hear a sickening crunch. i dismantle it (more crunching) and the needle is bent and broken. i straighten it, re-articulate it, and move on to the ego until i was able to go back home.
this morning i finally get home. i clean up my rev 2, switch flavors, fill a fresh carto, replace the feed needle, and try to take a drape. there was no air flow. as soon as the needle began to be inserted into its position, no air flow. you can see through the little opening though? even with the carto attached.
this was the straw that broke the camel's back, and immediately i was filled with defiance. i knew what i had to do, and what i'm just learning to do. i went on a shopping spree to make myself feel better. i spent as much as i figured was wise without interfering with necessities too much.
i went to one website. VMOD XL. i placed the order, called in to set up the payment stuff. the website called back before i could move on. i did not include a preference for either silver or black. apparently in my rampage any vmod will do! actually, black is preferred (thanks guys!).
i go to the second website. i order 2x 18650 batteries, charger, drip tips, more 5ml bottles, a 4 ml tank, and punched cartos. i'm pretty sure i want to punch my own cartos, but did this to be safe in case i end up needlessly murdering some hardware trying to learn. my original plan was to order rev2 replacement parts the next order with them, but screw you, rev2! the only bummer is that the imr was sold out.
i go to the third website. this was new for me. i have never placed three orders in one sitting before. blue raspberry! add to cart! and...adding now! /click click click. /looks more closely at webpage. "no stock" ok that was a bummer. but i did get amaretto stone sour, key lime pie, blueberry cheesecake, and tangerine lemonade. i'm pretty stoked about the amaretto flavor, i just discovered that most amarettos don't contain allergens for me, so i think the flavoring is fine. i'm pretty sure there's no actual nut oils in there, so we're good to go. i even dropped my nic to 12 mg and the kind gentlemen were awesome enough to adjust the dosage for me.
then it hit me as i was pouting outside, sipping on coffee and vaping delicious blueberry cheesecake. i placed an order on a monday. i usually place orders on thursdays and fridays. that means all my vapemail will come before the end of the week. elation! it's going to be an awesome effing week for vapemail (like no other!), and i no longer care about all the other crappy things. these presents definitely are more fun than waiting to finish off my stash (with a couple of unfavorables left over). i've never been one to pull shopping sprees to improve mood, but i've let myself indulge every once in a while. it's kinda sad and materialistic, but i'm super stoked. i feel like i've turned my week around a little bit by taking matters into my own hands.
thanks for reading/letting me rant!
EDIT: after a brief exchange with the awesome folk who i buy liquid from, they are bringing in rainbow sherbert and mango ice cream flavors! i was just recently drooling over and daydreaming about these! just another reason to try out the other new flavors that were out!
