My manager sends out these weekly notes and she gave the following tidbit in our last installment: Remember to enjoy this time of life whatever this you are at.
I'm going to let my inner grammar wizard stay away from this one because I get what she's saying and I totally agree.
For me, this is learning how to be a night shift RN and still have enough in me to live life on my days off. Yesterday, I was pretty much a pile and only had about 2hrs of sleep inbetween Friday at 5pm and Saturday 5pm, which is funny when you realize church started at 5pm yesterday. I don't remember a whole lot. I think it was good. But then I pretty much slept about 10 hours last night without waking up. It felt good, but I'm still not motivated for today.
And I work tomorrow night.
So, I'm trying to enjoy the weirdness of my life right now. The oddity of leaving for work when most people are ending their work. Walking out for a break at midnight and it feeling nice and cool out. That funky window of time between 3:00-5:00am when my eyes feel like they want to explode out of my face. Going to bed at 9 or 10am and PRAYING I can sleep until 4 or 5pm. Not physically seeing the Tall One from Wednesday morning until Saturday morning. I should, given my track record, be freaking out on this. But mostly I'm totally amused by the whole situation and just hoping it gets better.
What day is today?
