So right now it's 1pm. Normally I would be at work midway through the first half of my double shift. But not today, for at 8am my Boss called to inform me that the "shitter's full". That's right... our boat is full of shit. And so I slept in and recovered from my crazy weekend.
This weekend my friend from highschool Teg, got married to his longtime girlfriend Melissa. It was a really nice wedding actually but it made for a long day. They got married in Orillia which is (for you ontario georgraphy knowledgeless) sort of across the lake from Barrie, and pretty far from Kingston. So I worked late on Friday night, and ended up going to bed at about 3am. Then I woke up early on Saturday, got in my car and started driving. Besides a brief stop to change into my suit in Port Hope it was 3 hours and 45 minutes till I got to Orillia. The drive in the day time was nice though... windows down, tunes playing, driving along highway 12 through the country. It was an interesting drive as my cottage used to be up by Orillia so I felt I was retracing routes I hadn't been along in years. The ceremony itself was nice and was held outside and the weather couldn't be more perfect. The reception was really nice, abeit long and so when I finally left at about 10:45pm I had the same long drive back to face, but it was dark and highway 12 is one lane, so it took even longer to get back to the 400 series of highways... and well besides another brief stop in Port Hope to drop off the suit I arrived back in K-Town around 2:30am, and slept.. for a few hours before I woke up early again to work a double yesterday.
I think Ian pointed out my feelings about the wedding accurately in the speech (paraphrased below) he gave to Teg and Mellissa: At first It was really weird. I couldn't believe my friend from high school was getting married. It was so weird. But then as I watched the ceremony suddenly it wasn't really weird. It was really awesome. Two people who couldn't be better for one another.
So anyways the shitter's still full at work and I'm waiting to see if they cancel my evening shift. Even if the shitter is fixed, at least it allowed me to type this blog and to enjoy a nice relaxing sleep in... something I haven't done in a few days now.
Go Shit Go!
