L’angelo, la morte e il diavolo (Detail) – Roberto Ferri

since starting back at my old job it has been intensely stressful, I did 55 hours last week, and am friends with the owner and at least 5 staff have been caught stealing from her which breaks my heart, and also means I’ve had to pick up their work // we had a meeting today to talk about it and I’m getting a pay rise and will hopefully in the next month or so step into a charity coordinator role and help out with the instagram so I felt a lot better, just knowing that my hard work is actually noticed // tonight I’m having soba noodle salad and whiskey and bought tickets to see chelsea jade later in the year//

I think I’m still very sensitive to alcohol after my concussion last year, I had two wines with dinner last night and felt so so bad after I couldn’t sleep
