Excessive

Trying my best to have a low-key evening, and I seem to be succeeding so far. Because of the wonderful day-light savings time, and the awesome fact that I open tomorrow, means I lose an hour of precious sleep. The transition from Saturday to Sunday is always a difficult one, and this time change is going to potentially make it worse, so I'm taking steps to ensure a smooth transition.

I woke up late this morning... quite late. I was aiming to wake up at 6am and have breakfast, do the normal stuff, call a cab and all that fun stuff. I woke up at 6:30am (this is about the time I would normally have to call the cab) to a sinking feeling in my stomach... I immediately knew my morning wasn't going to be good. I hurried to the kitchen and made a piece of toast and brewed coffee quickly; I kind of accepted the fact that I was going to be either a bit late, or really hungry at work, or both, so I didn't get too stressed out. I just ate fast and called a cab as soon as possible. It wasn't the nicest way to start the morning, but every morning can't be amazing, right?

I wasn't too late for work, just about five minutes or so, no big deal. I worked completely alone for the first three hours of my shift - the way I like it. I put out the morning continental, and warmed the soups and made quiche for the day. I put away the GFS order and produce order, and before anyone got there, I had done all my own dishes and got the hors done for the night function and got most of brunch and continental restocked. Once people started to arrive, work got less fun, but it wasn't too bad. I continued to work on getting brunch completely set up for tomorrow, and any related preparation I'd need to do. This brought me to 3pm, and I caught a bus home.

Once I got home, or actually... on the way home, I debated about going to the grocery store to get some junk food, but during the trip I convinced myself that I didn't need to - that I could make it another day without spending any more money. I knew that I wanted to clean a bit and then eat dinner, so I started to clean right away and it felt good. I vacuumed and tidied up as much as I could, and even went so far as to clean the bathroom... I cleaned for a lot longer than I had expected, and it ended up making me feel very good, very satisfied and comfortable.

For dinner I made spaghetti, with some green beans and carrots, and a slice of garlic cheese bread, and it was delicious. I watched an episode of The Office while I ate, and enjoyed that. For dessert I had coffee and a Crunch bar, given to me by a one wonderful Bekki, which is just awesome because I love Crunch bars but they're really difficult to find! I really appreciated it, and it made my dessert just a tiny bit more special.

After dinner I played a bit of SSX but wasn't quite in the right mood to play for a long time, so I just played a couple events and stopped. I talked to my Mom for a bit, but considering I wanted an early night, and to trick myself into sleeping early, I decided to have an early bath.

Now that I'm out of my bath, I turned on a movie (Lincoln Lawyer) and started to write this. I'm not too in to the movie and I may even shut it off soon to lay in bed and read for a few minutes before I go to sleep. I work 7am to 3pm tomorrow, and look forward to coming home, as I have Monday off and I can breathe!
