Las Vegas and injuries…
I am currently sat on the sofa with a fat knee and a bruised hand that’s missing a palm full of skin, luckily I can still type, fingers crossed I’ll be able to get my hand in a glove on Thursday… This is a running related injury and probably has no place on this blog but tough, it’s my blog!
If you’ve been following these posts you’ll notice I didn’t post last week. I was on my way to Las Vegas. The plan had been to write Monday, schedule for Tuesday and fly off into the sunset. Turns out I had more to do on Monday than I’d thought. But I’m back and even though I’m away again next week, fingers crossed, I’m getting that blog post done!
Vegas was Vegas, first time visiting and probably the last, not my favourite city but so glad to have had the experience of it. Our time there was short, but I not sure I could’ve handled longer. Catcalled everyday over the tattoos, everyone seemed drunk or hungover all of the time, floors were gross, you can smoke on the casino floor so every hotel smelled. There were some pretty spectacular hotels but as soon as you got near the casinos, yuck! Food was insanely expensive, our first breakfast cost $100, whoosh! So yeah, an experience, and all to see Katy Perry’s residency, which was so fun!! Completely worth the travel and mind blowing experience of Las Vegas. Oh and we also went to the Grand Canyon but this isn’t a travel blog, I’m not really sure what this blog is yet…
I’m back in the studio this week, Thursday to Sunday, working on on-going pieces on wonderful humans, a great week tattooing before getting back on a plane. One week today, all being well, I’m flying to Orlando, Florida to take part in two runDisney events. Firstly we’ll see how my hand fairs tomorrow, see if I can actually get back to work. Secondly I’m not even sure I can run right now, I already had to take a training break with ‘runners knee’, after today’s tumble my knee looks like it’s growing another knee, all the ice in an attempt to get that lump down. Worst case I do the events without running them but I’ll be sad about it.
Tattoo wise I have no major news, I think I’ll be opening my bookings again soon, I seem to finally be on top of the endless mountain or rescheduling after lockdowns, two whole years later!! But that’s news for next month, this month is for holidays, rest and a little relaxation. For all Vegas was full on I do feel refreshed after some time away, I’ve missed travelling so much ❤️
