merely talk

I've had a bit of a lazy day. Well at least since I finished work at noon today. I've had a nap and a bubble bath. Which was beautiful. I even remembered my little cold eye mask, so hopefully I'll stop looking like a ghost soon (pale skin, big black circles under my eyes).

I'm still catching up on sleep from this last weekend. And here I thought that long weekends out of the city were for rest and relaxation, yet somehow I've spent the last few days in varying states of exhaustion. Go figure.

I managed to not fall for any April Fools jokes yesterday. It helps that all the kids I worked with on Friday are still a little young to understand the nuances of a good joke, and secondly that I was well aware of the date (mostly because it coincided with payday).

April Fools Day has got to be my least favourite "holiday" so to speak. I was a very gullible child, and continue to be a fairly gullible adult. I know you wouldn't guess it from my cynical and sarcastic exterior, but I tend to be very trusting, much to my detriment. I was made the fool many times in elementry and junior high school, which has lead to me feeling much relieved by the passing of April 1st.

Tonight, however, is Daylight Savings Time once again. The day where we Spring forward and lose one precious hour of sleep. I am so happy I'm not working tomorrow. It'll give me a chance to regroup. But I wonder why does such a horrible occurrence sound so happy and optimistic? "Spring Forward" it's just too glass half full to me. And it's counter part "Fall Back" seems very negative, even though it's the most wonderful time of year too me. Sigh. All very strange.
