give your support!

i know it's been a while since i've written a post. everything has been super busy. i've had very "exciting" hours to work, such as ending at times like 3.45 in the morning and what not. despite these hours turning me into an owl,  i've been surprisingly happy and full of energy and excited about everything. i worked i the confectionery yesterday and finally took a picture of the costume, which i'm sure mum will put up sooner or later, because i know many people are dying to see it! i love working in there. it's so happy and fast-paced so time really flies. i also love working in the chapeau. i love embroidering the guests hats and seeing their faces when it's done. sometimes embroidering a hat gets pretty tricky, and i'll have to redo it three times but it's okay, they always end up happy in the end. it's good when it's busy, but when it's not busy, we're hidden enough that we get to chat amongst each other. but it is kind of hard when i have such late shifts and all my friends have shifts early so i feel like i don't get to socialize enough as i'm accustomed to, but it's okay. next week my shifts kind of go back to normal, so i'm really happy about that.

now, if you live in barbados, or even if you're just on facebook, i will have to assume you've heard about little damien straker. if not, here's the run down: he's been diagnosed with hydrocephalus and also has a cyst on the base of his brain, and needs life-threatning surgery at the sick kids hospital in toronto as soon as possible. on march 23rd at the barbados yacht club, a fundraiser will be held, where the merrymen, spice and company and other features will be performing to help damien out. the tickets are a $50 donation and I sincerely hope that everyone not only buys tickets, but physically GOES to the yacht club on the 23rd to show your support. i wish i was home to go to the fundraiser but unfortunately that's not possible. i, myself, will be giving a donation nonetheless and i really would like all of you to do the same. i'm sure anything you can do would help. also, just spread the word about this. it's really important to a lot of people and all the support would be greatly appreciated. i knew damien a little bit from when i had "baby duties" at st. winifred's, and he really is such a sweet little boy, and it's even more personal because i'm friends with his brother. so please, please, please help him and his family out. show your love and support to this very worthy cause.

i hope everyone continues to count their blessings and i hope everyone truly appreciates everything they have. love life.
