I was going to bed at around 11:30pm on Saturday night when my phone rang. It was the RCMP and they needed me to guard some people for them. I went there, knowing I would be there a long time. I was there until 8am Sunday morning. It was a really long night. There were a bunch of drunks sleeping in their cells most of the night. They were quiet and I was able to watch another movie. I'm going to have to find out which movies I haven't watched, just so I can have more to do. The RCMP brought me one more guest. That was one unpleasant person. Kicking the doors, fluent in swearing, and high as a kite. Not the nicest way to spend a Saturday night, but when there isn't any one else to be with, it's the next best thing. It was nice to get paid to do something I would be doing at home any way.
At 8am, the next guard rang the door bell. I went to go let her in, but I went through a door that locked. We were now stuck and I just wanted to get home. My stuff was also locked inside, so I was sad. I also felt like a total loser. I had to call the main dispatch center in Prince George so she could get in contact with the member who was on call, and have him come down and let us in. The dispatcher and I had a laugh about my predicament. I felt bad because the member on call had to be woken up just so he could come down and open a door for us. I told him that I felt really bad and he seemed okay about it.
By the time I got home, I wasn't all that tired any more. Of course I really was exhausted, but I didn't feel it until about 9:30am. I took a little nap. I didn't want to sleep all day, as then I wouldn't sleep at night and Monday would be torture. So, I woke up again and laid on the couch. Laying on the couch offered many things, but none of which helped me stay awake. I soon fell asleep again on the couch multiple times and soon it was about 8pm. I had just woken up from my latest nap, when I decided I should just go to bed. I was clearly that tired and it didn't make sense to stay up any longer.
I headed to bed only to get a phone call. It was the RCMP again, wanting me to come in and guard for another 8 hours. I thought about it, and then when my brain couldn't put a sane thought together, I decided to pass this shift up and just go to sleep. I climbed into bed, feeling my body relax as it finally is able to rest. I got another phone call, only this one was extremely welcome. Tyler called and we talked about his bachelor party, how much fun he was having and other stuff. It was so good to hear his voice again. Ps, I still miss him. Any way, we talked and then we hung up because we were both really sleepy.
I could have predicted what happened next. I could not fall asleep. I was rolling and tossing and turning, pretty much doing everything but falling asleep. It was frustrating. Every time I looked at the clock, it was only 20 minutes later. All night long. Of course I did get some sleep, but it sure didn't feel like it.
And that leads us to this morning. What a gross morning. It was easy to get up because I was already awake. I got dressed and after some morning time, I went to work. Since I took Friday off, I was expecting there to be a ton of paper that needed to be scanned. I got there and there was a mountain, but I knew it would be done before lunch. And it was. I got my work done today at 11:30 and then it was off to lunch. I also had been texting Amy all morning, which was nice. It's always great to hear from people, especially when I had to find a way to waste time.
I had jam toast and cucumber slices. It was tasty. I continued to talk with Amy, only now we switched to facebook chat. It was a good time.
Then I went back to work. I put some finishing touches on the day and still had an hour and a half to figure out what to do with my time. All with a big old headache, which had moved in some where after lunch. I was still texting with Amy. I didn't do anything remotely close to real work because I was done all I had to do.
I came home and made some supper. Strawberry and banana smoothie with a bowl of rice krispies on the side. I am still uber tired, and there still isn't anything to do, so I am just sitting here, blogging right now, watching some tv. I know, my life is thrilling but give me a break. I'm just counting to days until Thursday. Thursday will be a glorious day. I get to see my hun again in a very dramatic airport reunion. Amy and I have planned it out. I mean, we've planning our very own reunion which will take place when I come back into town, very excited. But, Tyler better be prepared for the ultimate in lovers reunions. I'm warning you babe!
The weather was amazing today, which is typical. It's always crappy weather on the weekends and really hot sunny weather on the weekdays, when we can't enjoy it. It does make me feel better that it's been raining in Edmonton. Makes me feel like I have something out here to enjoy.
Tonight looks like this: ...hmmm, nope, there aren't any plans. Tv, facebook, playing with Kitty.
I forgot to mention the helpless Doctor I am looking after. He comes in and I introduce myself. He gave me a look like he really didn't care at all. I was just trying to be nice, but he was just a huge grump. He would walk past the waiting room to ask me who was next to see him, even though I gave him a schedule. He could very easily look at the schedule, and call the people in himself. But nope, I get paid to call the patients into his exam room. What a grump! Oh well, not everyone can be happy all the time.
I have run out of things to talk about. I could continue on about how much I miss Tyler still but that's a little over done for those of you who maybe don't miss him as much as I do. I will keep further thoughts like that to myself. Maybe!
Love you babe
Sonja
