A Whirlwind

Here's a summary of my Tuesday 5:30 a.m.-Wednesday 5:30 p.m. :

Wake up - go to work - make pan bread - cook brown rice - make a bunch of other things - start making candied pecans - oil fire on the stove - day chef uses fire extinguisher - health inspector comes - restaurant is closed due to fire extinguisher toxic residue - clean - scrub - clean - scrub - clean some more - drive home - find out John's been given 10 more hours of work each week - give up on ever getting a teaching job - go to bed - wake up - go for a walk/jog with John - go to work - health inspector still not allowing the restaurant to open - clean - get a phone call from John - teaching job offered - need to know by the afternoon - starts on Friday - scrub - wash every plate, bowl, Japanese platter, glass, mug, fork, spoon, knife, salt and pepper shaker in the restaurant - talk to head chef - given the okay - take the job - clean some more - drive home - take a shower - drive to TWU - pick up teaching materials - prepare for Friday's classes.

What a crazy 36-hour whirlwind!

P.S. The restaurant was finally okayed to open at 3 p.m. this afternoon. We worked like crazy to clean that place up. If anyone is thinking about eating at the Langley Earl's, now is the time! It is spotless.
P.P.S. Anybody just see the Vancouver Canucks lose in overtime? :(
