Day 8 - I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead!

Okay - I was functioning on maybe 2 hours of sleep so the morning was rough but I managed to eat some cereal in a record-breaking number of minutes and get out the door. The day went by fairly quick but I wasn’t fully present in it. I also had plans to finish up my Christmas shopping with Mom after work. While I was exhausted I refused to replace my plans.

We went out for a nice dinner and they were offering complimentary Champaign which was a nice little treat! I ordered my favourite side dish of Crispy Mashed Potatoes - It’s basically mashed potatoes inside a spring roll with the works on top - and we got some yummy hot meals. I haven’t been out for a dinner in a while so it was a nice treat.

After that I managed to finish my Christmas shopping. I didn’t have much to do but I did have a few loose ends to tie up still so I was able to do that while I was still awake. I even treated myself to some holiday sweaters….you’ll have to wait until later to see those though. Can’t spoil all the fun right away.

After that I headed home for a virtual hang out with my best friend. We decided to start a show called The Rain and it’s so good! We are both very into it and it’s kind of like The Walking dead vibes but with a virus instead of zombies. It’s nice to have these nights with someone, that you can wind down to, and even if we don’t feel like talking when we watch it’s nice to have people to share our thoughts with and enjoy the company of. We used to live next door to each other when we first met so we always had movie nights and binged TV shows together in-person and we continue to keep the tradition alive! Only we haven’t quite gotten into the holiday mode yet - we’re still in the world of dystopian society or horror.

After that I had another bit of a restless night but managed to get a few more hours of sleep.

Not the most exciting day in the world but I have something fun coming up tomorrow!

Until then.
