My day started early. I woke up a few times starting at around 4am. It's never going to be a good day when it starts like that. I had planned on taking today off from the clinic, just to have a longer long weekend, and there wouldn't be anything for me to do today any way. It was 8:45am and I was so excited to still be in bed. But then my phone rang. In my half sleep sedated state, I immediately thought it was the clinic phoning to see where I was. It would have been so typical for them to forget that we agreed I could take the day off. I answered the phone and it was the RCMP detachment, wondering if I could come in and guard someone. I was a little confused, as I had no training and I was still not all there. I had 10 minutes to wake up and get my butt over there. Luckily, it's about a minute walk, so I wasn't too concerned about the timing. I pounced out of bed, threw some clothes on, made sure to brush my teeth, grabbed a granola bar and headed over there.
I wasn't nervous because they said they would give me a crash course on how to do it. It is really simple. I am supposed to watch the prisoner on the monitor and every 15 minutes, write down what they are doing. I soon found myself bored, as drunk people tend to sleep for hours and hours.
As the time went by, I was getting more and more hungry. A granola bar didn't fill me up and it was time for lunch. Since I basically woke up and ran over there, I didn't even think to bring any more food for myself for throughout the day. Also, I was told that next time I come, I should bring something to do. Computer with movies, books, cards...something to make the time pass. And next time I will.
The day went by pretty fast. It was nice to meet some of the members. Although its a really boring easy job, I kind of like it better then the other job I have. Maybe because it's still new. Maybe because I can do anything I want and as long as I write down what the prisoner does every 15 minutes, the boss will be happy. I'm looking forward to more shifts there. Not looking forward to being woken in the middle of the night but I can always turn shifts down there. I like that too. If I don't want to go in, I don't have too.
I ended up texting Amy and Tyler most of the day. Both are on vacation right now. So jealous! When I came home, I finished the rest of the pancake batter from the previous couple nights. I made 2 super pancakes and had a glass of milk.
I just finished watching a movie that wasn't really as good as I had hoped.
I also got to talk with Tyler tonight. It was good to hear his voice. I miss you babe! But I will see you in less then one week.
Any way, no plans for the night. Just hanging out with Kitty. I think Kitty missed me today. We had all these plans for the day that got ruined when I got called in to work. She's okay though. There is always tomorrow.
Glad to hear that Morfar is out of the hospital and now at home. That is always welcome news.
Hope every one has a good weekend.

I love you Ty!
