I hadn't planned on sleeping in today. In fact last night I set my alarm for early, about 7:30am, and went to bed, but then when the alarm went off I put on an episode of South Park and went right back to sleep. Unless I'm inebriated I find it really hard to fall asleep without background noise, preferably a television show with no loud background noises and monotonous character voices. I was able to keep sleeping until a little past 8a when my phone sounded off with text alerts. It was a guy I knew, K, who I hadn't spoken to since this past January. Usually the only person who texts me in the morning is Lance wishing me a Happy Morning at 6am or my uncle asking if I will be at the beach on Wednesday. I was surprised and pleased to have heard from K since it had been so long and because of his move to a new apartment away from the city I haven't seen him much at all. We chatted intermittently between my light napping and more South Park episodes until we made non-committal plans to do something sometime before I leave for Vermont in a month. By then my ever predictable Hebrew friend had messaged me updates on his potential summer plans and I had decided it was time to get up for breakfast and for the first time since Christmas I made myself breakfast using designated breakfast foods: blueberry Eggo waffles coated in honey (skipped the butter because I forgot to get it out of the freezer beforehand).
It's been a unexpected day so far. I'm submitting my last day of work tonight, I just need to decide what day it will be. I have a deluge of bills that need to be paid off before I move and with my tax return still a few weeks away I want to have as much change in my pocket as I can get before I have to quit work. I can't wait though. I feel like I've been at this job forever and in truth I really have. I've never dedicated so much of my time to one thing as I have to this job to make ends meet and as rough as it's been living paycheck to paycheck some months, I really wouldn't have made as much money doing anything else and still be able to go to school full time.
With a little more than a month to go it's hard to believe the past four years even happened, but they did.
