Ok, so posting this on Thursday morning technically isn’t quite midweek.. but I was up late last night and really didn’t have the energy..
Too many late nights this week. Monday I did my podcast, later than usual, and was up late. Tuesday night I went out for dinner with Michelle, got home, caught up with emails and stuff and went to bed late. Last night I went to the movies with Kevin, got home just before midnight then stayed up late writing Shawn’s card as he’s due back in town today then off to Australia on Saturday.
Then this morning? Ugh.. I so didn’t want to get up.. here’s hoping tonight’s an earlier night and I can catch up on sleep so that Friday/Saturday I’m more normal, less zombie-like.
On Monday I went to Pacific Centre for lunch, I needed to grab a card for Shawn and a couple of birthday cards and I’m there in Carlton Cards trying to find an appropriate Good Luck/You’re Leaving type card (which, PS, there really aren’t that many decent options to choose from - definitely an untapped niche market!). I’m looking around, and there’s a bunch of “Miss You!” type cards, including a multi page one full of whimsical rhyming verses obviously designed for lovers who are geographically separated. Can’t remember what the iPod was pumping in to my ears at the time but I think it was something pretty mellow, and it all just made me feel a bit sad.
Then last night, it’s late, I’m tired, I want to go to bed but I also need to get Shawn’s card written, and I feel sad again. It’s weird when stuff like that happens… Like, we’re not the most regular of hang out buddies, but we hang out once in a while, chat it up on MSN pretty regularly, a few phone calls here and there.. but the deal is that if we wanted to hang out, we could. And when you’re 9224 miles away (or 14845 kilometers, according to ask.com), it’s kind of hard to hang out at short notice. It’s that whole “not having the option any more” that bugs, I think.
Ugh, I’m groggy this morning - I just listened to 30 minutes from last Friday’s Chris Moyles Breakfast Show before realising that I’d heard it before and coming to the realisation that today is actually Thursday not Friday. DOH!
K.. shower time.. gotta scrub up, wake up, and get my ass to work for another fun packed day of code review and tweaking.. Go team go! :-)
