To Be Perfectly Honest

I honestly don't know what happened. I slept so much better last night. I'm not sure what I did differently, or if maybe several nights in a row finally caught up to me, but I totally overslept! I woke up a little before 7am to pee. I felt really good (considering it was early) and was stoked that I still had over an hour to sleep.

My bed was feeling soooooooo good, and soooooooo warm. I nestled in and drifted right back to sleep... I woke up on my own, which was immediately a concerning sign. I knew I had to work. I knew I needed to be up earlier than what I'd naturally wake up on my own. I just knew I'd overslept. I picked up my phone and it said I'd missed my alarm at 8am, and it was 9:27am. How did I totally miss it? I can't recall the last time I've simply slept through an alarm. It concerns me. I don't need this to keep happening! Especially when I had woken up naturally on my own just a few hours earlier, and I'd gotten a full 8 hours! So weird. I knew I opened with Allison, so I wasn't concerned about that. I only ended up being 7 minutes late. No different from any other day, regardless of when I wake up. I'm still working on that.

Work wasn't awful. The day went by pretty quickly. My numbers weren't as good as they should have been based on how busy the store was from the moment we opened. I definitely helped way more people than I got credit for. Could have been due to how busy it was, and how long the line to checkout was. They forgot about me. It also could have been the two new cashiers. They don't know how to dig a little deeper to find out who helped someone. They need a little reminder than people's pay is based on this. It's not a suggestion. Track the sale! But thankfully, even though I found it irritating at the time, now I'm really unbothered. I don't even care. I can't let it eat at me. Overall, I think expecting too much of myself is part of the reason I experience so much job dissatisfaction. I'm making it worse on myself than even what the job requires.

After work we took the kids to the park on Bainbridge Island and then to dinner at Isla Bonita downtown. We've passed it a million times, but have never eaten there. I really wasn't impressed. It's been there forever. I'm sure they have a regular following, but to be perfectly honest, it wasn't that good. My veggie burrito was just so... boring. Literally steamed veggies wrapped in a tortilla, with salsa smeared over it. No guacamole, it was barely warm, and I got some watery beans on the side. It was the most blah thing I've eaten in a long time. Thank goodness it wasn't expensive. I still want to take Snookums to Café Nola. I bet that won't be bland.
