Day Off #2

It is 1:40 am on December 28th. But I haven't gone to bed yet so of course I am still thinking like today is Sunday, December 27th. It has been a very good day. I woke up around noon, made cinnamon rolls in the oven and curled up on my couch with a blanket, a pillow and a good book. I read till about 2 and then wasted my time on the internet. At 3 Garret got up and asked me to cuddle. I love laying in bed with him and cuddling in the morning. It is so intimate. Everything is so soft, warm and good smelling. We cuddled until about 4 when I demanded that he get up because he was clearly trying to continue to sleep and in the process putting me back to sleep. I was determined to fix my sleep schedule after waking up Saturday at 3 pm and not going to sleep that night until 5 am. I am pretty sure that I needed the 14 hours of sleep I got Saturday but I need to be able to awake up at 11 on Monday since I have to return to work.

Anyway, after I got Garret up and dressed we watched a couple episodes of House before going to the Harvest House for food. Then when we got back I played around on the computer putting more music on my Ipod while he played Wii. We have pretty much spent today a lot like we spent yesterday. Hanging out and relaxing. It is much more enjoyable than the 9 days in a row I spent at work I can tell you that right now.

I'm not so sure I am ready to go back to work even though I know I will have to eventually. I have been hearing that a lot of people are leaving. Zack is being deployed. Shana is changing jobs. I guess Amanda and Ember have either found new jobs or are looking and Andy mentioned looking for a new job. All of my favorite people are leaving. It is going to be a very different place once they are all gone. Not to mention the amount of extra hours I will be working to make up for the fact that we are losing employees again. I left them a note asking them to work me Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends once the semester starts. I hope they read it and take it seriously. I have 3 English classes next semester and I know two was hard this semester. There is a lot of reading involved when you are taking two English classes and two education classes. Now I will be taking three English classes and an Education class. The English classes tend to be heavier on reading than the Ed classes. At least the third English is writing poetry. Maybe there won't be as much reading? My point here is that reading is hard to do if the time to do it in isn't there and if I am working a lot it might be difficult to get the reading done.

This is obviously no time to be worrying about that now though. I think I am going to end this entry here and just continue to bask in how awesome my day off has been. I hope there are more days like this over my break so that I don't go crazy or get too tired before school starts again. I like being well-rested.
