wednesday

Wednesday and Thursday were pretty crazyyyyy! I walked to Mad4Mod from school on Wednesday. It was a lovely experience, because it was such a beautiful day outside, even with all the snow and slush crunching and slipping beneath my feet. When I got to the store Lara was just arriving so we walked in together; it seemed that Jen and Jason had already been in earlier to turn on all the lights and the heat. Even, to both of our joy, the basement lights. It's really creepy having to walk down the dark stairs with a flash light and go into a small room to start the electricity, the only thing keeping you from tripping being the one flash light and common sense.

Lara had forgotten her ipod again and when Jason came in he offered to go pick it up, because the store without music is really odd and hollow. Music always creates happy laughter and a stream of lyrics when there's no words. It helps you tune out to everything else and focus on the task at hand. Quite handy, in my opinion.

Anyway, so I took off my heels and put on my boots to clean the store front window, because there'd been a leak from the apartment above us that had caused the window to get very dirty. I like windexing the counters and the windows, so this was quite a fine job for me to do. I did it twice, because I hate streaky windows. After that, Lara had me take out the ladder and go to three top racks in the store, where we keep our high end dresses, to organize them. I think it's now generally known in the store that i'm good with color coding and organizing. I even developed a system downstairs in the basement somewhat. I'm glad i'm not terrified of heights, but if I had been I know Lara would have taken the task from me.
