Exhausted

Well, I got my glasses repaired - though it was risky cause they were damaged so badly that the optician told me there was a very good chance they would break when he tried to repair them. But when he called me an hour later and told me to come pick up my eyewear, I was thrilled.

Now Lou was aghast that my glasses cost me so much - but my last pair lasted 6 years, and I still have them. The only reason I changed them cause they had lost their colour and honestly, they were a bit dated. But when I buy glasses, it is a serious investment. I don't mind spending a lot on a pair of glasses - considering they're outerwear, worn on the part of the body people stare at the most, they have the ability to drastically change one's appearance, I have to wear them everyday and I wear them almost all the time, and I need durable cause I am a busy person who often drops her glasses. lol. So yeah, I spend a pretty penny on them. And I hate having to say this everytime - not quoting in US dollars here.

The weekend is all about me getting some much needed rest. The new job keeps me very busy and I have worked late every day this week. Thursday was the worst though. I spent 18 hours in heels - literally running around in them, and now I feel like the nerve endings in my toes are shot. When I try to walk with bare feet, I feel pins and needles in my toes. It hurts like woah. My feet are crying out for some tender love and care. I went into the shoe store today and saw the hottest pair of red heels but uh-uh...tried on some loafers instead. When you work with some real divas though, you feel compelled to still try them on and see...just see how they look. Yeah. I work in an office of divas where it's almost like a competition to see who looks best on any given day. I think I have my own style which has worked well for me since I joined the workforce after university and I know what I like and what looks good on me with regards to colour, cut, style etc. So I don't feel this overwhelming need to compete with workzillas. Still, I saw those shoes looking really good with some grey trousers and my new red shirt. But not at the expense of my feet's comfort.

I am very tired and for once I am happy that I don't have a life - cause it's all about lying in bed this weekend and just vegging and sleeping. Adonis called me last night to tell me he still misses me and I guess I will hold on to that this weekend, cause he is not here to rub my feet and that's really what I need right about now. But gosh, I feel lonely.
