I hurried home from the Gym because I had a coffee date with a friend. My friend is a lady who regularly visits Krispy Kreme. She was one of the regular customers that I used to serve while I was the Store Manager. We've sort of struck up a closer friendship since my resignation from KK and regularly meet there to chat. 

So, I quickly jumped into the shower, to wash off the gym sweat, got dressed.....(in a clean bra everybody, hahaha)......gathered everything I needed for my 12 hour nightshift, and headed out the door. I was only 10 minutes late (that's very good for me) for our 3:30pm date. 

I refused to buy my regular Tall "Vanilla Chai" because 'Forest Gump' was behind the counter. I can not justify $4.50 for a repeat of last weeks drink. I purchased an 'English Breakfast' tea because there's no way to mess that drink up!!

We visited for about an hour. Then I rushed off to work. I really don't know why I was rushing because I was an hour early. I just wanted to get out on the floor to see my son, his girlfriend, and Pinky. They all happen to be on Blue shift and I'm on Green, so the only time I get to see them at work, is at shift change. 

I needed to speak to Pinky because my KK Friend wants to join us for brunch this Friday after our Gym date, and I wanted to know if Pinky had plans or if  she could make brunch.

I officially got to my first position 10 minutes early not realising that today was going to be a crack up. Of course my blog was a "hot topic" among my Facebook 'Streets Peeps' group. I found out that Richie Rich, one of the younger operators, had read one last week. I laughed hard, he just shook his head.

Somehow, the conversation turned to 'Labour Horror Stories' (someone must have had mentioned a recent birth). I offered a few if my own stories as I've given birth 4 times and been pregnant 5 (I miscarried once when I was 9 weeks pregnant) this conversation didn't slow down the jokes. I was in a witty mood and had great come backs to any statement!!

Since me and Glam, along with Lady L, had the same break, Glam was eager to get me on the scales to see my weight loss  progress and measure it against her own. I agreed and we trotted off to the First aid bay to jump on the scales. I'm leading this 'Biggest Loser' rat race by 2 kilos. For the rest of the night, Glam was trying to coerce me into eating an ice cream. I caved around midnight and sunk my teeth into a fresh one (I tossed the ice cream but ate the cone with a warm chocolate coating, YUMMY!!). 

One of the lines was about to finish for the night the manager, needed 2 volunteers to go home. We all missed out on a working rotation, due to the holidays, so no one really wanted to go. I put my hand up to go, but I told him that I really didn't want to go, but because I had an extra shift tomorrow night, I would go!! Glam was chosen as well. 

As we were leaving, Glam offered to lend me a 'Vampire' book, of hers. I joked that she was only lending it to me to keep me out of the Gym and sitting on my ass reading. As we were leaving, I joked to Glam that if she would park her car at the far end of the employees parking lot, like I did, that maybe she would have lost as much weight as me. Lol 

I made it home and in bed by 1am but I was so wound up from my shift that I couldn't sleep right away. I drifted off some where between Chapter 2 and 3 of the book. Lol
