That's a splendid macine gun you have there officer!

Right, so I've had a hell of a day. For starters, I'm sick yet again. It's this damn cold thing that just won't go away. I had to get up at 6:30 am to go to work at the Manor House. Why you ask? Because it's tea day! Weeeeeee........ For those of you who don't know what tea day is, on the first Friday of every month (from April to November) the Manor House has a big tea. We make and serve all the food, and sometimes we serve up to 350 people in 3 or 4 hours. Most of the volunteers we have helping with the tea, and many of the staff, are old enough to be my grandparents. This means that I, being the young, strong girl that I am, have to run around and get/lift/move things for the volunteers. So after doing this for 7 1/2 hours, I left the Manor house to go work at Ciao! Of course, on the day when we only have two people on as hosts, we have over 200 reservations (sounds of me banging my head against the wall). I got off from Ciao! at about 9:45 pm, bringing my total workday to a lovely 13 hours and about 15 minuets. To top it all off, I get out to my car and I have a coughing fit, and in the process I managed to dislocate a rib or two. Luckily I got them to pop back in after a bit, so I won't be too sore later. I just keep thinking about how nice a bottle of wine and a back rub sounds. (sigh) Guess I'll have to settle for orange juice and a nice warm beanbag.

Anyway, I plan on getting a good deal of sleep and having a nice yoga class in the morning. I swear that I will have a good weekend even if I have to wring the bejezzus out of it's neck. Maybe I'll go see "Sin City " with people. Later all!
