Late Night

I am so tired, and this time it has nothing to do with sweet Kitty.  We were laying in bed talking, trying to fall asleep, when my phone started ringing.  I had every intention of ignoring it, as I was already sleepy before we went to bed.  I ignored it and almost fell back asleep.  But then, it started ringing again.  I had to answer it, as an unanswered phone is most annoying, plus I knew that if they were calling me for a second time, they didn't have any luck reaching any one else.

I answered, begrudgingly, and heard those awful words, "Hey, it's so and so at the RCMP, can you come in and guard?"  They aren't that bad of words, considering what I hear when they say them is, "Want to come in and watch movies and we'll pay you for it?"  It only is unfortunate when I just warmed up my bed and was almost asleep.  

I turned on the light, which Tyler wasn't to happy about, to find some appropriate work clothing and gathered my belongings to take to work.  I brought my current cross stitch project and the lap top to occupy the time.  I got to work to hear my guest screaming a bunch of cuss words and other drunk things.  He had some how squeezed the mattress out of the food trap door, which doesn't look easy to do.  I guess it was the drunk strength that helped him out.

I had to put up with him screaming about how cold he was, banging the door with his hands and feet.  He tried to trick me into thinking he was sleeping, complete with fake snoring.  He got up 5 minutes later, stating that he has slept and can now go home again.  He finally fell asleep and I was able to get on to what I really was there to do - watch movies and work on my cross stitch.  I was there from 11:20pm to 9:00 this morning.  I managed to watch 4 movies, which is, yes, a giant waste of time when I'd rather be sleeping, but it makes the time go faster. 

I wasn't sure when this prisoner was going to be released because there was more to him then just being drunk.  The next police officer showed up to work this morning a little after 8 and has to review his file before setting this guy free.  I would have had to be there at least until 12.  I was already falling asleep so the thought of having to spend more time there, made me want to cry.  The cop called someone else in and I was able to go home for 9.  The bonus to going home before the prisoner is released is that I didn't have to clean the cell he was in.  He was spitting all over that place, so it was nice to just go home.

Another reason I was disappointed to go to work was because I knew I would then miss saying farewell to our real house guest.  He was gone by the time I got home, on his way home.  He is currently on a 21 hour long ferry ride, stopping at every little village.  He has a 3 hour stop at a town that's only half an hour away.  

I got home and Tyler was already at work.  I managed to get into bed before the heat from Tyler sleeping there escaped.  I really didn't want to sleep all day so I left a note asking Tyler to wake me at 1:00pm.  

Once I was awake, not much happened.  It was a nice day.  I worked out, reluctantly and as always, it was nice when it was done.  I showered and we just spent time together.  We made ourselves chicken burgers for dinner.  They were really good.  We had other plans for supper tonight but I'm super tired and neither of us felt like putting in much effort.

I'm fading fast, so exhausted from getting no sleep last night.  I expect that even if Kitty sat on my face all night, I'd be able to sleep through it.

We are currently watching America's Funniest Videos, which is always good for a laugh.  We just had some very crisp grapes and I'm just waiting to go to bed.  I'm excited for bed tonight.  

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.  I sure did.
