Getting back into the swing of things...

I went to bed at 8:30pm last night, and that was me trying to keep my eyes open. Luckily, when I woke up at 4:30am this morning, I felt refreshed and counted eight hours of sleep so I just stayed up and used the extra hour to take my time getting ready and also getting to work early in order to catch up before the calls started to pour in.

Work, not surprisingly, held up fine without me. However, there was a bit of drama in the form of a co-worker of mine getting fired on the spot! No one knows all the details, but apparently it had something to do with "theft". All the interesting stuff happens when I'm gone. I do feel welcomed back though, and that's very nice :) Oh! And while I was gone Jane got a temp job at my work! So starting next Tuesday she'll be here for at least six months! I'm hoping that having a friend here will help me with this "changing" I have to do.

Yesterday Paul & I went on the hunt for this fresh produce store I'd heard about and ended up getting lost on the way there and on the way back. The good news is that the store is exactly what I was looking for! The bad news is that it's not that close and so we can't go there often enough to take advantage of it. Most of the food is organic and doesn't have preservatives - so its only good for a day or two. Plus, they don't have a lot of stuff we usually get - so we'd have to visit two stores. I'm tempted though, very tempted. The produce was just so fresh and the best price - I was shocked and so happy. The other good news? They're apparently opening a store across the street from us in 2009! We'll see how it all pans out.

Yesterday we also went and saw Iron Man, which I really enjoyed! I've never read the comic, so I can't say anything in relation - but the movie was great. I was worried that the whole thing would be CGI, but it was tastefully done. I'm hoping that the sequel will be released soon. If you haven't seen it, if you do see it - stay until after the credits. Paul also says that Tony Stark is supposed to be having a cameo in the new The Hulk flick staring Edward Norton - so that'll be interesting.
