issac picked me up slightly later than i was comfortable with, but with only a few lost detours we made it to the airport with really good timing. i even had time to pee before i boarded the plane and promptly fell asleep. i was so tired i fell asleep before the doors were even closed. i woke up to the flight attendant asking if i wanted anything to drink, to whichi replied, "yes, a diet c-" before i fell back to sleep. i came to with her trying to rouse me as she took down the tray, saying, "i THINK you wanted a diet coke...and if you want it, there's a snack bar on the seat next to you." i chugged the soda, and quickly passed out until we landed.
it took me a few to rouse myself enough to be able to stand up and deboard the plane, but i mustered all the energy i had and made my way to the omega shuttle, where our real journey begins. i got to meet the new hires in my group, which was really nice. badging took an inordinate amount of time. when chris and i got our badges last time we technically didn't do it with everyone else because the office was almost empty due to some big meeting so they'd gotten everyone in the day before. chris and i were returning from california that night, so we couldn't make it. i remember we got home late at night only to turn around at 4am to board a flight to chicago. so we get there...and while i've never talked to this lady more than a couple minutes on the phone total...she annoys me. i could've played a drinking game with how many times she said "just to give you a heads up on that". the whole thing really could've taken 20 minutes, but whatever. it's done. i'm pictured, and on monday i shall be badged!
cat picked me up from the people department office, and we actually got to talk for a little while before she had to leave for work. she bought me lunch. mmmm. after she left for work i had two options; sit at the airport for a few hours or go with erich and nicholas to look for shoes. i opted for the latter, which lead to a rather silly adventure with a shoe salesman named Eduardo. I'd tell you more about it if I could've comprehended anything about the man. He was...hectic, we'll leave it at that. from there we considered heading downtown ("more of everything!" eduardo had said), but nicky seemed to be ready for sleep and i wanted to try to make the earlier flight back home. i picked up my christmas present (woohoo! $25 to boston market from cat) and cat's old uniforms (woohoo! i'll have a month of uniforms without doing laundry!)
after the nice lady at the gates *twitch* stopped telling me shed have to charge me an upgrade to take the earlier flight and i told her why, in fact, that was not the case, i ended up on a flight two hours earlier than my scheduled return. a fortunate turn as it was, because i had the pleasure of making a new friend. i like new friends, especially new friends who share my odd sense of humour. hah. or maybe he just laughed because he was trapped on a plane with me. ;)
we got home and i started the train trip home, only to fall asleep a lot and not remember a single word i was reading. chris picked me up from the station, and now i'm waiting for trevor to find his way here to jam for a bit.

what a day....i'm gonna sleep all weekend!

edit: just so there's no confusion....this lil guy totally rocks!
and he's gettin SO big!!!!
today he hugged my legs and said "byebye" :( i misses him so!

*yawn*
i had an extremely restless night...it'd be easy to blame chris' boisterous fish-flopping, but in reality i was having a hard time falling asleep before he was having a hard time being asleep. i think i need a new pillow. mine feels like a rock lately. when my mom started getting sick and spending 16+ hours a day in bed the doctor recommended one of those memory foam pillows. it seemed to work really well for her head. maybe i'll try one. i've had these ones for at least 10 years...and i can feel it.

so here i am. i'd gone to bed with already less than 7 hours to go before alarm time, and i didn't sleep anywhere near a majority of the time i was in bed. i feel exhausted and slightly sick to my stomach, but tara's coming over to s hoot this morning, so i'm, still a bit excited. we haven't shot in over a year!

later today, while chris is at work, i'll probably take a nap. issac will be here to get me at 4am to get me to the airport. i owe him uber friend favour points.

so that's that...i need to go get some breakfast to wake me up!

i made dinner tonight that was really yummy...but it seemed to give chris and me both a tummyache...im sorry hunny!

while we ate we watched "running with scissors", based on the memoir by one of my favourite authors, augusten burroughs. reading the book inspired me to write more myself. reading his subsequent memoirs (dry and magical thinking) inspired me to start writing my own memoir of sorts...that may or may not ever actually reach completion. it was a good movie, with wonderful visual imagery. at first i was a little unsure of joseph cross being cast as augusten, but int he end i can say it was a good choice.

anywho...ive got a shoot in the morning..and hopefully i can talk chris into playin some music with me soon...was on the docket today but the time he had free i was in "verge of tears mode" which is not quite conducive to singing, especially when im working on getting my voice back.

im sleepy, and my tummy still hurts....wish us luck on the flip side!
