Tuesday

So, I went to the RCMP last night and it was an alright night of work.  This guest has been in there for a while, so he knows that he has to cooperate with us guards to make his stay a little nicer.  I put a movie on for him while I watched my own and the night kind of flew by.  I had a good night and soon I was home safe and sound.  I am always a little freaked out walking home at midnight.  I know it's only a 5 second walk but its super dark and quiet and I have seen too many scary movies.  I always look over my shoulders and have my key and cell phone in my hand.  It helps that there is usually never anyone on the streets, but there is nothing wrong with being safe.  There is also a part in my walk where no light touches and that is the part I hate the most.

Any way, I got home to find a home full of light.  Tyler was laying on the couch, looking tired.  To be honest, it was nice to have someone awake to come home to, but it was sad because Tyler couldn't sleep.  We went to bed and talked for a bit before we fell asleep.

This morning, I couldn't get out of bed.  I slept until 10 and still wanted to sleep on.  I got out of bed, ate breakfast, did dishes and sat on the couch.  I was half asleep when Tyler came home for lunch.  We both had turkey and Thanksgivings leftovers.  Our stuffing kind of ended up really mushy, so that hasn't been the best of eat as a leftover, but the rest is still pretty great.

I got a call and was asked if I could work tonight.  I said yes and now I am working the graveyard shift.  Midnight to 8am.  I just hope I can stay awake the whole night.  And I hope I get to see Tyler on his way to work on my way home from work.

The rest of the day was me relaxing to conserve energy for tonight.  I worked out after Tyler went back to work.  After my shower, I tried to sleep.  It turns out, our upstairs neighbor bought a herd of elephants and they must of have been river dancing.  It was so loud up there that I only got to sleep for 45 minutes.  My plan was to sleep for 3 hours and that didn't happen.  I don't know what those people were doing up there, but it was so loud and it seemed to be coming from all around me.  It was annoying.

I got out of bed and planned our menu for the week.  Although we have a giant turkey to finish, I don't want every meal for the next few months to consist of turkey.  When Tyler came home from work, we went shopping.  It has been blowing rain all day so the walk to the store wasn't that great.  We found all of what we needed plus some more of what wasn't on the list.  When asked if we wanted paper or plastic, we opted for plastic so our groceries wouldn't end up on the street when the rain hit the paper.  It's just common sense I think.

We got home and cooked up some chicken burgers.  They are easy and pretty good.  After a good meal with good conversation, we didn't do much.  We aren't doing much.  Watching some Glee right now.  Tyler is super tired so he will be going to bed soon and I will be waiting up until I have to go to work.

Tonight, I plan on watching some movies while doing my cross-stitching.  I hope the prisoner is sleeping the whole time.  It's much easier to deal with people when they don't talk or ask for anything.

I got to talk with my Mom today which is always nice.  It's great to get updates about life back home.  I do miss home.  It's still a little hard hearing about what they do together but that's ok.  It's still great to talk with family.  I love my mom.

Tyler also got a call from Luke.  I miss friends.  I can't wait till Christmas.  Only 2 months and 5 days till get home.  It will come fast and I can't wait.
