This was a clusterfuck of a morning, in so many ways.
Last night I went to sleep about half an hour earlier than normal, cause I was tired and wanted to make sure I got a full night of sleep before work. Which would have worked out great were it not for the fact that our apartment building's fire alarm started going off at 2 in the morning. So Palmer and I get up, get the cats in the carriers (with me getting scratched badly in the process) and get downstairs and outside. Where we waited, for like, 10 minutes until the alarm stopped blaring. We then hauled the cats back upstairs, let them out of the carriers, and crawled back into bed. Where I was then unable to fall back asleep. I think I may have finally dozed off around 4 am, only to have my alarm go off 20 minutes later. So that was fun.
My coworker was late, and I was rushing around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to help customers and prep three to-go boxes of coffee at the same time. Then, after he gets here, the first thing to happen is a customer spilling an extra-large iced drink all over the floor. It was a total accident, and she apologized, but still, had to go clean that shit up while a line starts to build. Eventually got our shit together and got shit done, but still- the first two hours were SO FREAKING STRESSFUL, I can't even.
On the positive side, I was able to take a nap when I got home this afternoon, and had my first bikram yoga class this evening. Good god, that was tough. I'm so glad that I chugged water throughout the day in preparation, because I was sweating balls. I couldn't do the entire thing- halfway through I cut back to doing just one set of the two, and there were one or two poses that I didn't even try. But I'm pretty happy with how I did, especially since the other women complimented us after class. So that was nice. Going back tomorrow, and a few more times before next Tuesday, to see if this is something I actually want to invest in, or if its a once a month sort of thing. I guess we'll see!
Hope everyone is surviving this ludicrous heatwave we're all going through. Montana and the Dakotas, I wasn't talking to you, stay out of it. :-P
