So recently I had one of those days. You know, not bad, not awful, but being told you need your endometrial lining biopsied-and no-they don’t put you under for that. This day is level: FuckedUp
But I made it through
[Big shout out to Klonopin & Wellbutrin] but possibly more important to this little Shiracle* that occurred first thing in the morning.
I had come across a full tube of Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer that I must have completely forgot I’d bought. This had to have been in the midst of some medical emergency or whatnot ::sighs:: Anyway, I find this fabulous treasure only to open it up and find that it’s turned. I’m mentally kicking myself for nor opening it right away, I can’t find a receipt anywhere, and thanks to chemo brain I can’t recall this purchase at all. Of course I’m currently not employed so this is just a big juicy tragedy.
But in desperation I’m thinking, maybe I can replace it? Sephora has the best customer service and are super accommodating. I make it a habit of not returning things without a receipt or using half a product and then bringing it back (there’s a limit to what you should take advantage of, people!) but I decide this is extenuating circumstances and am willing to give it a shot.
Because they are the best ever they immediately and happily issue me store credit and I was able to add just a few more dollars and get the Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani palette which I had already come to terms with never having because it’s limited edition and my finances are not what they used to be. And this was just going to be a missing piece of my soul ::super sad face::
Because I wanted this soooo bad and I wasn’t expecting it was a total Shiracle that reminded me of how blessed I really am. Divinely favored! And that was definitely the mind frame I needed to be in for the rest of that day…
Sometimes it really is the seemingly little things that have the biggest impact on us.
