So, seems like things are starting to get better. But boy oh boy when you’re in the brunt of things you can’t seem to see an end to a bad situation.
The initial shock of everything has worn off, I haven’t cried since Monday and I’m adjusted to the fact that my brother is gone, it actually feels nice to come home and not have to worry about him. He’s getting help, he checked himself into a hospital and from there he will leave to go to a 3 week rehab program and then to a half way house. I guess the hardest part of the situation with him is that the relapse came totally out of the blue. I wasn’t expecting him to relapse and to have to go through all of that with my husband 4000 miles away was awful. They have my brother on a high protein diet in a matter of 4 days of using his weight went from 160 to 132. My mother went to visit him when she was here, I haven’t talked to him nor do I want to talk to him at the moment, I’m still very angry.
My husband is my rock, but I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and I believe if my husband would have been here when all of this shit went down it would have not been good if you get my drift.
The situation at my salon is I am now down to one stylist. My salon is not huge but I normally have 4 girls working for me. So, it’s a little quiet at the salon, but I’m sure in time I will staff the salon again. From now on I am just going to be very picky about whom I put in there. If I could clone the one stylist I have left I swear I would. She’s been with me since I opened the salon and she’s priceless. It’s just very hard on both of us at the moment because we are already booked most of the time and now we both have to take walk- ins on top of our already busy schedules. When going through the thick of things last week, I truly felt like selling my salon but now that things are passing I’m feeling much better about the situation. I know that I shouldn’t make any drastic decisions anytime soon, that with each passing day I am starting to feel somewhat better. So I guess it’s a good thing.
So now a tropical storm is heading my way, which is just what I wanted to see on the news. I’m sure that the main damage of the storm will be directly over my house. How’s that for positive thinking? It’s really not suppose to be too bad, just lots of rain for our area.
Thank you all for your kind words of support, I wish I could reach inside of this computer and just hug all of you….
