A work-free evening

Dave and I had a really nice night together.  It makes me wish I had my nights off and weekends free again.  It's amazing what you can do when you have a good chunk of time to spend together.  Working at night has it's perks (it's a tad less busy and you aren't surrounded by management all day); however, it's got some significant downsides like the fact that I arrive home when others are just about to go to bed.  Dave and I discussed it a bit today actually; how by the time I normally come home he's completely exhausted and ready for bed.  It's hardly the time for us to sit together and talk or do anything.  His sleepiness makes him more grumpy and then I get irritated because he keeps snapping at me when I'm just trying to tell him about my day.

Today we had ample time to actually enjoy each other's company.  In addition, we actually cleaned a good bit of our apartment.  Upon walking in from work, I was hit with the most horrible odor coming from somewhere inside.  It was terrible, like super stinky feet.  Needless to say, it totally got me cleaning.   I was practically gagging from the smell and though we still haven't figured out it's source, we've aired out the place and masked it with far more pleasant aromas.  I'm hoping that once we fully attack the place and give every part a solid scrub down, we'll be rid of whatever it was for good.  Gosh, talk about embarrassing!  I'm so glad I wasn't bringing company over.

After our cleaning frenzy, we decided to go out and see a movie and ended up having dinner too.   We saw the movie, Priest.  Going into it, we really weren't expecting much.  We figured it would be just another vampire versus a slayer type thing and we set our expectations rather low.  Perhaps it was due to our level of expectation but we both really enjoyed it.  Almost every aspect of it, in fact.  I'm not particularly in the mood to discuss what exactly I found appealing about it but I'm adding it to my nonexistent list of movies I would definitely watch multiple times.  After the movie, we went to UNO's, a restaurant that has recently become one of our favorites, and just discussed it wholeheartedly.  Due to the Catholic themes, we also talked a bit about Catholicism (the religion I was brought up in) and what I liked/disliked about it.

It's amazing.  Despite working eight hours on Sunday (my longest shift of the week) by the end of the night it's furthest from my mind.  I like it that way.
