The big event I’ve been telling you all about for two months is happening this weekend. It will be awesome.

It will be even more awesome on Monday, when I can actually leave at the end of my scheduled shift and on Tuesday when I can sleep the whole day.

James is even telling me we can go see Alice Monday night, and I keep remiding him that I’ve already said yes, so he doesn’t need to bribe me anymore. He laughs and kisses my forehead and let’s me pass out cold on his chest as soon as I rest my head there. He is a good, good man.

Yes, I’m exhausted and overwhelmed and wondering how we’re going to pull this off, exactly. The weather is going to be beautiful, the customers are all abuzz and the first thing I’m going to do is get all the product out of my stock room that I possibly can.

Tuesdy night, I promise you’re going to hear all about the new look of the store and how sleep is as lovely as I remember it being. For now, I’m still blissfully happy to have James, the monsters and the quickly-focusing light at the end of the tunnel.
