sweet sleep, that's all I need, a whole day of sleep to get caught up.

So I made it through the first "Fireworks" of the season yesterday. barely. I closed on friday til 12am and then had to open on saturday at 7:45am. Needless to say I didn't sleep much. BUT, what I did sleep through is my alarm clock, as it was set for 6:15pm! I woke up at 7:13am basically jumped out of bed, cursing oh shit oh shit as I threw on my work clothes, threw everything in to my bag, ran into the bathroom, brushed my teeth with shaky hands because the were still in sleep land, put my hair up pretty much how it was the night before, and ran out the door at 7:17am. I've never been out of the house so fast. (no I understand what crystal used to do when she had a morning shift at the deli) I made it to work with 5 minutes to spare! And while it wasn't pretty, I made it through my shift, managed to deal with the excess of staff and then got home and showered! And then my day got much better. Me and crystal had yummy rice wraps for dinner, then we rode our bikes down to the Inner Harbour for Folkfest, and met Violet and Tara there, and grooved to the beat of Marimba Mazuva, the victoria marimba band, and Oliver Mutikutzi a wicked musician from Zimbabewe. It was fabulous! And to top it off, we walked our bikes to Tara's new place and sipped hot chocolate (well I had lemonade) and chatted for a while. It was lovely. Her place is quite cute. I plan on hanging out there more ofter. (okay Tara?) :) and best of all. I got to come home and sleep!

It's getting better. In an hour or so, I'm getting a ride to the airport from Crystal and I'm flying home for a few days for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary! (well I've missed the ceremony which was yesterday, but all the family is still there and we're having a big dinner at my parents place tonight) Thanks to Sue, my sweet friend and co worker who is taking my shifts for me.
But I guess I should go pack!
