This weekend is kind of sucking, though I have filled my time not at work with some fun things. This entire weekend I'm working those heinous early morning shifts. Yesterday I started at 4, today 6 and tomorrow 5 (because it's a holiday). I cannot WAIT for Tuesday, or at least 1:30 tomorrow afternoon when I get off work. Then I will be free for two whole days, back to back. So, I've been extremely tired to say least, if not exhausted.
Tonight turned into a really nice evening. We went for sushi with a couple of friends (who are a married couple) followed by a walk on the boardwalk with some ice cream. We we approached by a lovely and incredibly friendly cat who just popped out of the bush just as we were approaching it. It was such perfect timing. He was a cute little thing. I really wanted to steal him and bring him home. Two cats is great, but I could take care of three just the same. At the restaurant earlier there was this adorable little girl less than 12 months old sitting in a high chair when we showed up she was staring at us and smiling. She was grabbing her dad's shirt and pulling him in toward her and burying her face in his arm. So freaking cute! Later she was making that usually baby noise of just drawn out vocal sound and her dad played it up by running his finger across her lips to make that "bububububub" sound. She was so loud that all the tables around them kind of stopped and laughed along with it. It was one of those moments that was collectively shared with a bunch of strangers and it gave me this weird momentary high.
Just one more day...I can make it.
...I think.
