Apr. 20th, 2008 02:54 pmYesterday I went out to lunch with some friends. Phil was back from the military for the weekend so I got hugs and got to hear all kinds of stories about his training. After lunch we went down town (I was supposed to go to an orientation meeting for the Tulip Festival but we were late so I skipped out, will go tomorrow evening instead) and spent a few hours walking around the market and looking through the shops. I haven't been down town to just hang out in well over a year.
We watched two police officers on bicycles arrest some teenager for something.. and saw a lady in a wheelchair get thrown out of her wheelchair when she went down some stairs that she didn't see. Thankfully she was alright, just shaken up a bit. The stairs were really hard to see from the top until you are right on top of them. I'm just glad there were only 4 steps. One guy got her wheelchair righted at the bottom of the steps and then Mike and another guy picked her up off the ground and got her back into it. What a scary thing. The ramp is way the hell on other side of a monument from the stairs. Not a very good setup. She kept apologizing like she did something wrong. We kept telling her not to worry and made sure she was alright.
Then last night I ended up babysitting for a friend of mine who really needed a night out. So I spent a lot longer than I was expecting at her place while she had a good time with some friends. She really needed this so I don't mind at all. The kids were already asleep when I got there so I really didn't have to do anything at all, just be there in case anything happened or they woke up or whatever.
I got to her place at 8pm and watched Stargate SG1 and Atlantis until 10 and then I went online and chatted with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ninja007 until 4am! My friend got home about 4:10 am and then I called a cab to go home. I had told her that I would babysit for free as long as she paid for the cab ride both ways. So I got home about 4:35am and got to bed around 5am.... was up at 9:30 and out of the house an hour later to drop my brother off at work and have breakfast with my mom. Then off to do groceries. Mom let me drive today and made me practice parking for a bit. She wants me to get my friend's dad to take me out to practice parking because she's too nervous. She's realizing that you really don't see things the same way when you are sitting in the passenger's seat. lol. Now she understands why I get nervous sometimes when I'm in the passenger seat.
Now I'm just relaxing, gonna read some fanfic, maybe watch an episode of Stargate Atlantis... and try to stay awake until 9pm tonight so that I can get back on track with my sleeping schedule after last week of going to bed whenever and sleeping all day long. lol
It's a gorgeous 25 C outside and the snow is almost all gone! There is a little left in my back yard and my neighbour has spread the rest of his snow out thin across his yard so it will melt faster. There are even tulips sprouting in my front yard! Just starting but in a week or two they will start to bloom. All in all, a very nice weekend.
