Ugh, lol
New Years Eve was rough. I had committed to helping one of my friend's mother's work which required a very early morning, except that on Friday night the friend asked me to babysit; so I did. The "couple hours" of babysitting that started at 9:30pm lasted until 2am and they came home completely wasted. (By "a very early morning" I mean 4am) ....except "friend" was too wasted to wake up so soon after having passed out, so we all woke up at 7:30am when his mother phoned the house demanding to know why the hell the depot was phoning her asking where he was. That'd be fine, except I also had to be at my dayjob at the Brewery at 10am. Luckily I had figured there was a chance I'd be a bit late for that, so had arranged to have my coworker open. Turned out that I moved fast enough that I cut the time down by about half & only was about 15 min late getting to the store. After that though my day didn't really slow down any, I was starving so I stupidly wolfed down 3 pieces of pizza in about 2 min flat, and then had a stomach ache for the rest of the day. I made sure that the work I did was the work which could be done seated which turned out to be a silly thing to do because once I started walking home, my stomachache went away (apparently it should've just been walked off...something that would've happened a LOT sooner if I'd not spent the day seated) ...and then I went home & had a HOT HOT HOT shower (I have rather high heat tolerance levels... what I find "nice and warm" would burn most people). That was very relaxing overall & I was very tired & very sore & really just wanting to crawl into bed ESPECIALLY since during the day on Friday I had bought a feather mattress top for it, and it would be like sleeping on a cloud. Except I had already made plans & committed to go see these other friends of mine who I only ever really get to see on New Years Eve. They live in the same town as me but we never manage to meet up except on New Years Eve for the last few years, so I couldn't really skip out on that. So, I went. It involved games, and lots of good food, and even more really fucking annoying people (part of why I only ever see these people on New Years Eve, I am not really a fan of the other people they choose to associate themselves with) ...and it went on... and on... and on... and I eventually passed out in the middle of the games we were playing even though I was winning them all. I woke up to find I had won a lovely candle pillar thing, (its quite nice) at 4:30am and spent the next half hour trying to get through to the taxi company. I had 2 houseguests over that night and then my friend `Raine (one of the houseguests) stayed an extra day & night & then this morning I had to go to work with my other buddy (that prior committment thing again) and then I came home, watched some shows with `Raine, caught the bus downtown with her, had a lovely relaxing walk around the downtown area, studied the progress they're making on the downtown convention centre, studied the shapes & lines they're using in the architecture (It's going to be really lovely when its finished) and then caught the bus home... Oh and on my way home I stopped & wandered rather aimlessly around a mall for a while, and purchased a vacuumn since mine isn't working properly. (I bought it used, so this time I bought a new one...one that is BRIGHT pink, from Sears)
That was my New Years!
