i am so smrt...

the builder's deadline to fix everything on our list of deficiencies was last week. so they're here this week to fix what's outstanding. this means that i have to wake up early to make sure i'm awake and presentable for when they choose to arrive...could be 7:30am, could be 9am...could be 3pm. kris is in vancouver until late thursday evening, so i'm also home alone. this means i have to be showered and have my hair dried for about 7:20am, just in case. add to the fact that i've been going to sleep late with a fairly busy schedule accompanying students for an area music festival, makes for a very tired me.

the other problem is that i can't be in my bedroom when they arrive because i can't always hear the door bell. plus, the act of running down 3 flights of stairs in haste is dangerous, tiring and fruitless; often whoever is at the door doesn't think i'm home and has left by the time i get to the door to open it.

i've come up with a solution to my problem this morning. i woke up super early, made myself presentable, then went downstairs to take a nap on the couch. oh, the irony of waking up just to take a nap. but this allowed me to still get a bit of sleep, hear the doorbell and be within scurrying distance to open the door in time. sometimes i amaze myself with how smart i am.
