Figuring It Out *On Hiatus*

Still Wednesday! But the next part will be Thursday!

Ugh! I forgot to schedule my appointment with Sasha! Yet another failure on my part. Standing up from my desk, I catch a glimpse at one of the many quotes, I've hung on the wall.

"Prove them wrong"

Just rereading it, brings a smile to my face. Yes, my rent is going up, my boyfriend's demon dog is about to wreck my studio apartment, and I'm in trouble with HR after working so hard to maintain a spotless record. But I'm a Larson. My dad didn't raise me to be a quitter. I'll figure this out and come out on top like I've always done. But first, a hot bath.

I walk into my tiny bathroom, and once again thank the Gods that I was blessed enough to get a claw foot bathtub and shower. Having a hot bubble bath is all a girl needs sometimes to get a free, and fresh, perspective on life. Carefully, I tear off a piece of a Lush Bubble Bar and watch the bubbles fill the tub. I'll enjoy a hot bath and then text Sasha. Hopefully, she can fit me in. That girl stays booked.

Raven Larson:

Hey Girl. Can you squeeze me in for a mani/pedi/and lash please? Maybe around four? I forgot to book my appointment.

SashadaBoss:

I can't fit you in last minute chick. You know I stay booked.

Raven Larson:

PLEASE! I can't have chipped nails for one more day!

SashadaBoss:

I can squeeze you in for one thing not three. Be here at one. And your behind better be on time.

Raven Larson:

Can I get two? A mani and lashes?

And can we pleaseeeeeee make it four? My mom wants to have a late lunch.

SashadaBoss:

Do you understand the word one?

Raven Larson:

I'll give you a great tip!

SashadaBoss:

Text less and focus more on getting here at one before your behind don't get nothing. Then you can have dinner with your mom.

Raven Larson:

That's actually a good idea! I ordered an UberBLACK ten minutes ago. It should be here in two minutes.

SashadaBoss:

Your behind can't take a normal Uber like normal black people?

Raven Larson:

It's the principle of the matter. An UberBlack makes me feel good.

SashdadaBoss:

More like bougie. Clocks tickin

Raven Larson:

Leaving now!
