Early morning moan

I can't sleep. I tried to have a lay in and was still up before 6.

I went to kiss my son day before last, and he stood up as I went down. So now I have a split lip, and I couldn't talk very well yesterday (which only added to my already bad mood).

So I'm making today a donut day. A donut day doesn't happen very often, but if the start of my week (Tuesday and Wednesday) have been dire, I will go and buy a bunch of krispy kremes and bring them in to work. I've done it maybe twice before. But yesterday was hideous, we were short staffed (4/5 people from 2-4, and we needed about double that) and I don't think I stopped until people came in at 5. Which meant all the little jobs we do when we're not serving went undone and we do need to do those to keep going. Which means we all got a teeny bit stressed. But if we have donuts today, everyone'll be happy (because donuts are magic) so if we're short-staffed again it won't matter so much. Except I probably won't eat any, since I keep messing with my wheat intolerance. But I have maoam, so it's practically the same thing.

I'm getting my hair dyed tonight too, which would be good. Once my friend finished cutting there were huge patches of brown amongst the purple, so I'm going for an altogether different colour. I'm thinking like a honey-brown/caramel. But we'll see.

I'm still reading Scarlett though, don't you worry! Hopefully I'll have finished her by the end of the weekend, I'll have 2 train journeys to read on. Nervous about Saturday, since I don't know where I'm going or when! Will have to text Pete and find out. Will also have to make time to get Kate Brian's latest book (and remember what the heck it's called).

Oh, and I've been watching Gossip Girl on DVD. I'm about 7 episodes from the end of Season 2. Can't believe Blair's finally got her chance with Chuck and she's blown it (don't tell me they're fictional, they're alive on some plane of existence) or what Dan did ... he's getting less and less likeable ...

  1. I know how you feel about being under-staffed. Sometimes when we know we're gonna have a busy day we'll get cookies or something. It's not so bad atm, cos we have these people that work for a cleaning company that are PI trained, and they were in today thank good. We had so many family rooms to do.

    Also, I'm gonna dye my hair soon too. I'm think dark/chocolate brown. Not quite brave enough to go black!
