je me lache;

I just woke up from a really long nap.. Probably about 3 hours I'd say..
I fell asleep soon after our friendly fix-it man, Horatio, arrived at my apartment to do something about the HOLE IN THE CEILING that has suddenly appeared in the kitchen above the fridge. Apparently it was caused by a leak in the ice maker in the apartment upstairs.. so I guess it has been leaking in there for a long time, and then slowly it just caused that square of ceiling to be weighed down/dampened enough to juts fall.

..
That was a oh so lovely thing to come home to after being at work from 4:30am to 12:30pm with no break of any kind.. -_-

Yeah.
Today was one of the most ridic catering days in the history of catering days.
BUT. We all survived. And we actually finished everything by like 11:30!! However, the credit for this goes to Angelica & Jurga mostly. Angelica is Sarai's sister, and has recently transferred to our store... today was her BIRTHDAY, yet she closed the store last night, and worked on catering prep all night long. Literally. She said she went home for 2ish hours for I guess a nap, but she was basically just there all night. God bless her. And also Jurga, who was supposed to be off today, but came in just because of the catering debacle. She worked side by side with me all day long, also without a break.
This is why I love my work family. :)

Not a whole lot else is happening. Erin and I are having fun all the time, and talking and learning and growing together daily. This summer has included a lot of self-discovery and personal growth for both of us I think. It is basically an ideal living situation, and I am very sad that it is going to end in less than a month..

But, at the same time, I am of course very happy that Erin is living her dream & going back to Paris.. and when I go to Italy I will hopefully be able to see her at least semi-regularly.

This summer has flown by, but somehow it also feels like it has gone on for years.. But I am liking this whole passage of time thing... its almost Septemper! I'm getting closer & closer to Italy every day... :)
