I had an unexpectedly wonderful, calm day yesterday…
It didn’t start off on the best note, funny enough.
At eight thirty in the morning, my boyfriend called asking me for a favor, which I was not the happiest camper about (not the favor, the calling at eight thirty in the morning part, lol).
I’m a notorious light sleeper, and on top of that, if I’m woken up, sometimes I have a really tough time falling back asleep.
Also, a major pet peeve of mine is when my sleep is interrupted — it’s like waking up a bear in the middle of its hibernation — terrible idea.
But I survived the ordeal and made it back home an hour later.
I decided to take a nap since I still felt tired, but instead of waking up to my alarm like I had planned to, I snoozed it and slept until 12:30 in the afternoon (yesterday was also my first day off from work).
I was not to thrilled about that but I felt so rested and relaxed that I said to myself, screw it, moved some things around my calendar and took the day off.
The only other plan I kept was seeing my boyfriend again later that day.
And when I showed up, he had the sweetest, most unexpected surprise for me.
