You Gotta Be Kidding Me

I was having the best dream just now. I don't even remember it fully but I know it was good because I woke up feeling fantastic and then just a bit disappointed to discover it was only a dream. I was curled up under my down comforter and snuggled into four pillows and I stayed there for a moment hoping to fall back asleep and return to the dream. I opened my eyes to see that my bedroom was still pitch black and grinned because there was no rush to get up. While trying to fall back asleep I started thinking about my day. My plan was to sleep in, get up and go to the gym, head to Starbucks and then off to the grocery store before the snow started. I would come home and have French toast (really trying to keep up with my resolutions!) and then start making the soup for Sunday's party and maybe do a little cleaning. I needed to take a pair of pants to get altered and get stamps from the post office. I also wanted to head to REI and pick out a pair of snow shoes as I am supposed to go snow shoeing next weekend. I also wanted to run by Crate & Barrel and spend the gift card I'd received for Christmas. I had my whole day planned out and I was just about asleep again when it occured to me that I wouldn't be doing any of that today.

Why?

Because I realized, as the thick fog of sleep lifted just a bit, that today is Friday, not Saturday. So instead of spending the day doing what I want to do, I get to do the thing I have to do - go to work.

Ugh.

I was fittin' to be pissed that you didn't have to work today. The brewing must go on. Rain, snow, sleet, or shine.

Stupid ridiculous non-Saturday. At least you woke up...I had to have a wake up call because my ass was still snoozing at 7:15...
