Parade Day Sleep-in

Yeah! Parade day! I don't have to go to work until 12:30pm! Most people in Calgary don't have to go to work today until then (unless of course their job is parading around the streets of Calgary). One of the perks of living in this crazy city, (as far as I'm concerned) is the Stampede Parade morning sleep-in. Unfortunately due to some snow birds (or so we thought) we could not sleep in. The sound was TOO LOUD. Does anyone know what planes were flying over? I'd like to complain. yes sure they were doing their Canadian duty for those watching the parade, but what about the rest of us who were sleeping? And it wasn't one quick fly over...it was like 12 or so. Boo.

I woke up last night at about 5am and thought someone was in my house. Unfortunately I am prone to fear...and once my mind starts thinking about something...it becomes more and more real. I was woken up because I thought I heard the girl who lives above us, walking around very hard above us. (like stamping) (we never normally hear her walk). Anyway...this went on for quite a while, and then I started to remember the story my boss told me yesterday about someone getting their house broken into, through an open patio door, and the family who lived inside was tied up and such. I then began to think that our patio door was open...and although we are on the 3rd floor, someone could climb up the balcony's of they so desired...so of course, my mind started thinking someone was in our condo. Ugh.

Anyway, finally I got up the courage to go close the balcony door and eventually went back to sleep. I should have woken Troy up. Oh well.

Well...off to enjoy my morning off work. Hmmm...what to do...
