Quick Update

I’ve been without a computer for the past few weeks. My laptop contracted a serious virus…again…and I had to leave it with a dear friend to fix it up for me. I just got it back this morning =) Hopefully, I’ll get to uploading some blogs of what I’ve been up to soon, but for now here’s a quick update.

After coming home from L.A. London hung out in Tucson for a few days and I got to take her down 4th Ave and show her some parts of the city she hadn’t seen before. I think she likes Tucson a little better now! Her and my boyfriend Josh got along really well. We all had a great time with a special lemonade-vodka drink London made with fresh lemons & basil, mmmmm!

After London flew home to Cleveland I got back to work. I had an outdoor shoot at Saguaro Nat’l Monument, which was a lot of fun. I love shooting outdoors, and I love Saguaros! I made plans for Fetishcon in Tampa, Fl which is coming up in August. I’m super excited to go; I will get to see many of my friends there and hopefully make plenty of money for Burning Man, which is my favorite festival trip of the year!

So, everything seemed to be going well. Work seemed to be picking up and London was planning on coming back to AZ in a few weeks so I didn’t have to miss her too much. But then…the shit hit the fan. The next few weeks sucked and I ended up not getting to see London at all when she came back to town.

I had some major drama with my boyfriend and almost moved out of the apartment we live in together. We’ve worked through things and are doing well now, but I was stressed out and really upset for too long. My body didn’t like it and it crashed on me. I had a stomach virus, flu type thing that kept me out of commission for another week or so. I started to feel better, but then I started my period. This was good because it was extremely late and I had feared I might be prego…but it was a lot worse than normal. The cramps hurt so bad I could barely stand up straight. I was also super emotional and cried at everything! I was a complete mess. At one point I thought I was having a mental breakdown. I couldn’t make it up to Phoenix to see London or go to the shoots we had scheduled. We both missed out on money and I left her stuck in Phoenix without a car or much to do. I felt so bad. It really sucked!

My computer crashing on me just seemed to be the icing on the cake! It really pissed me off at first, but it ended up giving me a nice break. I focused on spending quality time with Josh and I did some deep cleaning around the apartment that really needed to be done! I spent some time with myself and started to feel normal again. I went to work with Josh for a few days and helped paint a house his crew was working on. Getting up and 5am and doing some hard labor actually felt really good! It was fun :)

Now I’ve got my computer back and it’s working beautifully. This makes me so happy! I’m sure I’ve got tons of emails to respond to and bills to pay. So I’ll be busy this week, but at least I feel good!
