It's AI, isn't it? It has to be. I mean, nothing wrong with using AI for things, but don't fabricate a life that you haven't lived. That's what I find weird about it. You're not any of those things, so why try and sell yourself as such? Ultimately though, people will do as they will, I can understand why fiction would be better than the reality for some.
I was more exhausted than I thought after working pretty much open to close both Saturday and Sunday. I went to bed around 10:30 last night, and then, when I got home this morning, crashed again until 1 in the afternoon. My hand was getting pretty bad over the weekend, nothing like it was the one weekend, but worse than it had been. It isn't much of a surprise though, as for about an hour yesterday as our rush started to pick up, I was left alone up front so Bailey could enjoy Faire for a bit with her friends. It's a lot of stress to put on the nerve when I'm doing everything, handling money, writing orders, giving food. The numbness is lingering, but now I can fully rest my arm and that nerve. Before next year, I'm getting a good brace for my elbow to take some of the stress off it when I work. Hopefully everything goes back to normal and I don't have to do physical therapy to get my strength back, as it is still very much lacking. By the end of the day yesterday I was starting to get scared that my hand was just going to give out while I was handing someone their food, that's how weak it felt. Thankfully, it didn't and I finished out things with no incidents. Though, I did smack my head so hard on our bell on Saturday afternnon. We had a solid metal bell, the kind you would find on an old ship, (I think I recall Andrew saying it was from a ship), that was screwed in to the middle post in our booth that we'd ring when we got tips. The problem was the positioning of it. We put in a cooler the second weekend of Faire to sell water along with the food, and the cooler was placed right under the bell. So, naturally, I was grabbing a bottle of water, got up too quickly without realizing where my head was, and smacked myself silly on the rim of the bell. I had the biggest bump and the worst headache afterwards. Bailey and I had both done such before during the run of Faire, but never as hard as I hit it on Saturday. For about and hour after, it was the worst, trying to deal with customers while trying not to just sit down and cry from the pain. Thank God I didn't start bleeding or anything, that would have been a disaster. But yeah, that was the only real incident, and hopefully next year we can put the bell higher up or something.
