class was unexpectedly cancelled at the last minute this afternoon, and what did i do with the gift of some "extra" time? i took a glorious nap. i've been exhausted lately, not sure if it's just getting back into work + school...maybe the shorter days are messing with me, too...and i am probably fighting off who knows how many viruses and stuff shared by those sweet little germ sponges at work. anyway, it was wonderful. i knew a strange moment of panicky disorientation when i heard pounding on the wall & someone shouting, "HAN!!" usually this happens in the morning, when hannah doesn't want to get out of bed...and so i immediately thought i'd overslept somehow. i looked at my clock- YIKES! 6:47!! totally missed the bus..and i'm going to be sooo late for work!! it took me until i started to change into my work clothes, and realized that i was already wearing them, to remember that it was not yet tomorrow morning. haha. the fact that it was just about as dark as it is at that time of morning only added to my confusion.

the sink at work is broken. this is not a good thing when the sink is in the kitchen and your job is to wash HUNDREDS of dishes. :/ i never realized how often i use that sink, but i will be really, really glad when it gets fixed. right now i'm having to scrape all the dishes "clean" and "rinse" them in a bin of water (after i crawl under the sink & turn the main line on just long enough to fill that bin with water...but not toooo far, or the water will spray 10 ft across the kitchen), then pile all the "rinsed" in an "almost clean" bin while i collect & scrape the rest of the dishes..then, finally, when all have been scraped & rinsed...i get to crawl under the sink for a 4th or 5th time so i can fill up the sink and actually wash those gross things. it's taking about twice as long to do the dishes...but i'm managing. it's just making me really, really appreciate properly functioning plumbing. :)

this is what makes me happy.
mmmm so apple-y.
