I’m home right now, being blissfully off. However this is (unfortunately) the last few hours of my last of 3 days off which was a welcome treat after a 7 night straight stretch. As time winds down and it nears my bedtime I’m slightly saddened that when I wake up this evening it’ll be that much closer to my having to go back into work. However, the last few days have been awesome.
Night 1 (Sunday) was a mix of the traditional buying of pizza for the watching of Extreme Home Makeover (I love you Ed!!!) mixed with the not-so-traditional activity of my roommate and I (nearly) polishing off of a bottle of Captain Morgan’s and Coke mixture. Ah good times…well the good-times didn’t last quite so long as an hour later I was gone. (Happily drooling all over the couch cushions) Anyway, as it were, I was exhausted, and deserved that.
Night 2 (Monday) was a pleasant surprise as again my roommate and I kept each other’s company for quite nearly the entire evening. A little retail therapy, a greasy supper, Tim Horton’s cappuccino and cheesecake, (ah the good life…) and a trip to blockbuster were all seriously needed. “Rumor Has It” and “Fun With Dick & Jane”. Not bad, but I expected funnier from Jim Carrey honestly. Oh well.
Night 3 (Tuesday) was reserved for my sister, Kayla. We always have fun together so it’s no doubt that last night was a definite highlight. More retail therapy was needed (buying myself a new computer program to enhance my learning of Japanese!) then a fun-time was had when Kayla’s boyfriend Yves came over (What a fit Kayla!) and we spent the next little while laughing and joking (and trying to get Kayla to pose for a picture) and just being silly.
And so, here we are, early morning nearly time for bed, trying to still be as quiet as possible as Crystal sleeps next door, knowing that there’s a stack of dishes that should be done in the kitchen and not really caring right now. I’ll try to forget the mess in the kitchen…and the living room…and my room… (Ugh) and relax for my last few hours. The mess can wait; I’ll be primed and ready to attack it (maybe) when I wake up. Actually that is quite unlikely but there will be clothes to wash at least since I can’t seem to ever get that done ON my days off, go figure.
My ever-faithful dog has reminded me (through her loud snoring) that it’s time to sign off and rest & relax a bit before hitting the pillow. A good movie would be nice or maybe a bit more Japanese studying? Whichever the case, I’m through for the day/night/whatever it is to me. So we’ll see you all again tomorrow.
So continues my moment in blog…
