merely talk

You know the problem with going to bed at 9 at night is you wake up at 5:59 in the morning, completely refreshed, but somewhat bored. This is actually a common problem for me. My work day has a habit of wearing me out, not to mention I have to get up really early on weekdays, so I always end up going to bed before 10. If I don't, I end up falling asleep on the couch. But then I find myself up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning. Sigh.

Yesterday as crazy as it was, was also kinda nice. I was busy. I woke up, worked and then came home, ate dinner and went to bed. I think three sessions was a bit much, but I wasn't bored at any point in the day. Which is progress I think.

Of course by the third session I was mixing up my kids name with the other two I had already seen that day, as well as trying to convince him that "Nap time" was a great idea for a game. But whatever.

I had to say I was quite displeased with the weather though. As I was driving east at 7:30 in the morning, the Sun was blinding me. I couldn't even see the traffic lights, because the sun was at the exact same level as them. It was scary. I had my sun visor down, and my sunglasses on, but neither really helped. And all the squinting gave me a brutal headache for the entire day (Hint: my kids are not quiet, even the non-verbal ones). Then on the drive home, after my final session, the rain had turned the street into a river and it was coming down so hard I couldn't see more than two feet in front of my car. I'd also like to thank the lovely driver behind me for having his high beams on and tailgating me. That was charming, and the brightness caused my headache to intensify, not to mention made it even more difficult to see thanks to the spots floating in front of my eyes. Fortunately it was a short drive, and the Tailgator kept down 16th, while I turned onto Burrard.

Anyway, I don't have to work again until 6 tonight, which is lovely. And it's one short shift. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing today though. I need to hit my office sometime before Monday at 9, but I don't think it's open on Saturday. And even though I have a key, I'm still not sure I'll go today, I may just pop in on Monday morning before my first session. This afternoon I have some tentative plans with Evi, which is cool. It's been awhile since I've seen her.
