Day 63: The Earl

March 29th, 2015

Day 63

I was actually scheduled to work on this day, so the night before I crawled into bed, and at 5:30 I dragged myself out and into my costume, and to the bus stop. At this point I was exhausted, I had forgotten my lunch, I was still fighting one of the most vicious chest colds of my life, and then I get to the bus stop right as the K bus is pulling away. At that point I had to turn around and make a very tough decision for myself. The way I saw it, I had three options: Option 1: Wake up one of my roommates to drive me to work; Option 2: Call in late and take the next bus; Option 3: Call in sick. Now part of the reason it was such a struggle for me is because not only did I need the money, but I felt guilty for calling in sick when I had originally been on my way there. Ultimately I decided, after sitting on our couch practically punching myself trying to decide, that staying home would be the best option for me. I was so severely sleep deprived and fatigued, and I hadn't given my cough and my chest cold even a moment to get better, so they were really only getting worse. I crawled back in bed and stayed there until approximately noon.

Then that afternoon my grandparents picked me up for a luncheon at Downtown Disney at one of my new favorite dining locations, Earl of Sandwich.

The three of us got our sandwiches, ran into my coworker and fellow CP Daisy, and then made our way to Ghirardelli for dessert before meandering back through DTD to our parking spot. We made a quick trip to Publix before Grammy and Pa dropped me off at my apartment and made their way to the airport.

It was such an absolutely fantastic visit and I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have family members who would fly across the country just to visit me. Well, me and the mouse.

Thank you for a wonderful week!
