Matt brought his laptop to bed last night and watched episodes of "How I met your mother" as I tried to fall asleep before midnight. I tossed and turned and got up to pee two or three times, I just couldn't fall asleep. 0600 came way too fast and I hit the snooze button until 0620, then finally crawled out of bed to take a shower. I ate some quaker oatmeal and made myself some German tea "to go," before heading out the door for work.
Since I'm only a substitute, I try to arrive before everyone else (around 0730) each day that I work so I'm not caught off guard with something out of the ordinary. All nine computers started up just fine and only four of my seven scheduled testers showed up so it was looking like a pretty good day so far.
All my testers were done by 1300 and I quickly grabbed my chicken salad from the fridge and ate it while I completed the required paperwork that I have to email to the language lab before I can leave. I was hoping to work through my lunch break and head out early so I could spend some time with Matt who only went into work for half a day to check some emails. By 1430 I was on my way out the door and heading to the Commissary to pick up some chicken and salad for dinner, before heading home.
Matt was just waking up from a nap when I walked in the door and we talked about our days while I cooked dinner. After we ate, he played Call of Duty while I watched a cute movie called "16 Wishes." As we headed to bed around 2200, I thought to myself, 'this has been a perfect day.' I love days where I get to help people like I do at work, and then get to come home to the man of my dreams, and sleep in a comfortable bed with the knowledge that God has blessed my life with so much to be thankful for.
