Day 345! I need a beach day ASAP! I’m definitely going to get off my lazy butt and do it soon, but the effort of climbing up and down the hill in the moon boot is quite the annoyance. I’m just a day under 3 weeks away from getting out of this boot. January 3rd can’t come soon enough!

For some reason, I was up super early this morning at 5:45am… but before I passed back out, I snuck a quick look outside and saw a beautiful sunrise.

Sometimes there’s perks to being up early! … but, I promptly went back to sleep.

Today, was a pretty lazy day up until work. I was suggested a new anime to start watching, since I devoured Demon Slayer. My cousins suggested My Hero Academia, a highly acclaimed show about kids in a super hero high school. I can’t help but think of the movie Sky High, one of my favorites (and a very slept on and forgotten movie in my opinion).

So after breakfast, I got sucked into watching this new show. Time was flying by, on another beautifully sunny day. Now it’s a little disappointing I’m not enjoying it on the beach, but at least the sun is singing through my open windows! I’m fortunate enough to catching it rising and setting through my room’s windows.

I ended up watching over half of the first season before having a pseudo lunch.

I wasn’t really hungry when 2pm rolled around. Instead of making a full meal, I ate the rest of my cucumbers and rice cakes and had hummus with them. I’m not sure why they spell it Hommus in Australia…

When I finished snacking, I realized I had forgotten to do my laundry! I was about to have no clean clothes for work! Thankfully I realized with just enough time to throw my shirt and shorts into the washer and dryer. If I had realized any later, I would’ve been a smelly worker!

I almost finished the first season of My Hero Academia, when it was time for me to make my way to work. Today I was working from 4-10pm… but as always, that was going to change.

Tonight was the busiest night of the week so far! I guess since this weekend is the start of school holidays in Queensland, it’s about to become busy season. The night started very slow… slower than previous days, but then it slowly picked up until after the dinner hours when it became a steady flow of customers.

For dinner I had a chicken schnitzel, which I haven’t had in a little bit. Unfortunately, one of my coworkers (the manager on duty tonight) caught a stomach bug while we were working. This caused me to end up working till 11pm! So I actually got to work longer than expected for once this week!

I clocked out, had a beer, and headed back home to shower and get ready for bed. Just before falling asleep, I finished up season 1 of My Hero Academia. I can tell I’m going to thoroughly enjoy this show. My cousins have great suggestions!

Tomorrow I work another night shift… and this time, I’m going to remember to clean my clothes!
