Unusual Usual

Today felt like a weird day. I was out of wack all day long yet nothing was really different.

The biggest jolt to my senses was probably when my mom woke me up this morning at quarter to eight wondering if I wanted to go to work for a day shift instead of an evening shift. I thought about it, decided that this close to a big trip I needed my sleep and called work back telling them no.

Then I couldn't get back to sleep, with the sun shining in my eyes and the hot air of my room all around me like an unwanted fleece blanket I thought I was doomed. The worst thing is knowing that you have to go to sleep and not being able to. Eventually I did manage to snooze off for an extra few hours but more then anything I think that's what messed me up.

Once I woke up I actually got things together pretty quick. I got showered, had some cereal, and then started getting ready for the big trip tomorrow. Part of that was a trip to Canadian Tire (apparently they're renovating) where I picked up a neat little inverter that will let me charge my laptop, cell phone, etc while we're on the road. I realize now that I should've used my Canadian Tire money to make the purchase but oh well, I guess i'll just have to continue saving it for something bigger and better.

I got to work at three to find out that Faye had been by herself all day today. That sucks, if I had known that I might've considered going in at least a little earlier then three to let her get a bit of a rest from the hustle and bustle. Naseer and I closed tonight and it's a good thing that they didn't pull either of us to the day shift after all because after having two people call in sick/unavailable we were up to our beejeebees in customers. At the end of the night we had to rush to get everything done and we even had to pull Alicia from till for a few extra things. In the rush I forgot all about my promise to help Madeline with bags if she didn't get things done by the end of the meeting. I hope she did because otherwise I owe her an apology...

That brings me to now, where i'm rushing to get to bed since I won't get anymore sleep after tonight for probably at least 33 hours. I work 7-3:30 which means I have an alarm for tomorrow too. Oh well. I plan to post tomorrow right before I leave home for Winnipeg so be sure to look for that sometime before 8pm.
