OT

I.A.M.T.I.R.E.D.

Two days in a row that I had to stay in the office past my usual time I get off which is 4.30pm. Last night, I stayed until 7.00pm to help finish a proposal that needed to be out the door the next day. Five 3" binders that needed to be sorted and labelled so it be couriered out the following day. Now, you IMAGINE the amount of paper needed to go into those binders. Although, I can't really complain because of all the extra time I'll be banking and the payout. But on Monday, I was super tired because I had not slept well on Sunday night (with only 4 hours of sleep) and by the end of the night, I was ready to pass out. Since we had left so late and did not have anything to eat, V and I headed over to Kitto Japanese Restaurant on Granville Street to have dinner. Kitto is a little Japanese Restaurant that has been around for a long time. Located on the "Granville Strip" by the theatres and other entertainment venues, it is a really good place for quick bite (due to the quick service) within a budget. It is not the best Japanese in Vancouver but reasonable considering it's location. Usually, the Japanese restaurants in downtown are crap and over priced. Not all was lost as Val and I were able to chitchat and unwind during our dinner. Keeping to my 900 calories a day with no carbs or sugars after breakfast, I ordered a Sashimi platter (13 pcs) and 2 pcs of chopped scallop with tobiko (ok, I broke the rule here) and 1 pc Unagi sushi. Mmmmm... yummy! Delicious. I could LIVE ON JAPANESE FOOD.....

After dinner, we caught our transit back, I on the bu and Val on the skytrain. I was thinking while standing at the bus stop freezing my @ss off, that maybe I should consider taking the taxicab home (5 minute ride) but I decided it would be a waste of money. In the end, I should have taken the taxi up because taking the bus from downtown wasted almost 35 minutes of my night. I was super tired and so ready to pass out when I got home but I could not go straight to bed as I had to prep Kay's and my lunch for the following day..... still got a few things to do before heading off to catch some zzz's......

Oh wait, ONE MORE THING... the VP noticed our hardwork and gave both of us a pair of Canucks Hockey Tickets! How exciting is that? Very ....
