A Monday post

I'm really doubting the wisdom of writing anything on a Monday. Normally I don't like my behaviour to be confined by a day of the week, like "so what if it's Monday, I don't have to be grumpy, I'll act how I please," but today it has hit me with full force.

Last night was a bit later than I would have liked but it was a good evening. After procrastinating and not getting a lick of homework done (oops!)...this right after I made my brother not visit me till he had done his...what a good sister, right...I whipped up some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for book club then headed downtown with my friend Sarah B. We joined some other friends for a free outdoor show as part of Car-Free Festival, Olenka & the Autumn Lovers. I've seen them perform several times and it's always delightful; this time was no exception.

There was one funny incident while we were standing there watching - this one guy off to the side kept staring at me and offering to throw out my coffee cup, he was cracked out I guess you could say (I'm sure that's not PC but I'm not sure how else to say it) and my friend Rebecca whispered to me, "I didn't realize you were meeting your boyfriend down here," and I replied, "I didn't know either." It was pretty amusing.

After that, we headed to the one girl's house for book club, where there were plenty of snacks - fresh pesto on baguette!- laughter, conversation and wine, not to mention good company. It was a good evening- how could it not be? :)

Afterwards, my roommate biked next to me and our friend who were walking. By the time we got home it was pretty late and I had to wait up for my brother to text me to say he made it home after his concert that he went to. I passed out just after midnight with my phone next to me and he made it home okay (oops!) but I was pretty exhausted.

After a windy ride to work (you lie, Environment Canada, that was far windier than 13 km/hr), I got here with windburned eyeballs and had to change lickety-split with two minutes to spare, only to realize I was supposed to come in an hour earlier today. Yup. It's one of those days.

Tonight I hopefully get to talk on Skype (my first time! heheh) with my friend Megan who's in Calgary. I haven't spoken with her since the end of August so that will be good to catch up. Tomorrow I have a staff meeting for the French project staff with the daycare after my regular work day, so it will be long, but oh well. This month is getting crazy already...although I suppose if I didn't insist on cramming so much into my social calendar, it would be a little less hectic...However, as excited as I am to be a student again, I'm determined not to let homework rule my life. We'll see how that plays out ;)

Well, that's about all I have to say for now. Hopefully I can come up with something a little more engaging next time.

Adios!
