Hey yall!
Â
It's been a minute. (Sorry!) Some of you might have been wondering how's my life going, especially after my post about my current state life state and the quarter crisis I am going through.
Â
Well... though I have remained blessed, my life has continued to be filled with stress.

Â
And would anyone like to know what I did in attempt to relieve some of that stress...?
Â
Any guesses?

Â
Well...
Â
I thought that the answer would be to relieve some financial debt. But in order to do that.... I had to pick up another job. But I didn't just pick up one job. Oh no, that wasn't enough. I picked up TWO!!!!Â
Â
So I technically, I added more temporary stress to eliminate longterm stress.

Â
I picked up a job at a hookah lounge as a server and a job at a bridal shop as a "Wedding Party Stylist." I got both of them around the same time and have been working like a hebrew slave for about the last 3-4 weeks.Â
Â

I work one night throughout the week (usually Wednesdays) and Friday - Sunday at the lounge. I only work weekends at the bridal shop. It has been three weeks since I have had a day off. I literally go from one job to the other most days. To give you an example of what my weekends look like:
Â
Friday: (full time job) 8:30am-4pm, Then I drive home which takes......30-60min depending on traffic. I change and I leave for the next job from 7pm- who knows, about 2-3am
Â
Saturday: (bridal job) 9:30am-5:30 am. I live about 45min away so just the commute feels like a job within itself. Then I go home and change immediately and head to the lounge from 7:30- God knows when.Â
Â
Sunday: Repeat Sat.
Â
And I am back at work, at my desk, on Monday at 8:30am. Oh and I also design social media flyers for the lounge in the little "down" time that I have.
Â
Ya girl is wore out. I don't have time for ANYTHING anymore. And all I ever wanna do is sleep if I am not at work, or on my feet, moving around. I couldn't even stay up for the two-hour Grey's Anatomy premier! Â
Â
So I had to take a step back and ask myself,
Â
"Is the money really worth it?

And it wasn't--not in this situation. I had to quit the lounge. The money just wasn't as good as I thought it would be and isn't worth the extra added exhaustion and lack of time to do anything else. I put in a week and a half's notice and this will be my last sleepless weekend. PRAISE. HIS. NAME.

Â
However, it does suck a little, 'cause I really like my co workers and I was just finally starting to get the hang of things there and getting familiar with the different regulars that come in.Â
Â
But, I need to finish trying to get my life together. I have my own things I would like to accomplish and would rather commit my time to improving myself so that I can make more money for myself. And I can't do that if I spend all my waking hours making money for someone else.....
Â
So diva3jobs is about to be diva2jobs... (and might be back to one soon) lol we'll see how long that last. That's another story for another day!
Â
For now, I gotta focus on getting through this weekend and preparing for AFRO PUNK next weekend! I am very excited about my outfit! Can't wait to show you all!
Â
In other news:
Â
I just bought a new camera that I am stoked about, and I found out my "lucky" number is 3, ironically. lol Â
