Swapped And Tired
I’m in the transition from working nights into dayshift. I have a three days off and today I feel exhausted. I slept for a few hours after my shift and woke up at lunch. Then I went for a walk with my wife to get some fresh air. After that I sort of cleaned up my rug making area. That was overwhelming. The room had gotten into a chaotic mess and I had no idea where to start. I felt like I was at it for hours, but in reality I only did about an hour of tidying before I was mentally done in there.
Once my wife was done work, we headed out to go shopping. I was getting frustrated by some of the shoppers who were just blocking the aisles. I really raged about it once I got back into the car. Ugh. At home no one wanted to make dinner. So I made a Cesar salad for my wife and I. It was the easiest thing to make in a short time. Our kids weren’t being overly helpful- so they could get their own dinners tonight.
I hate being tired it makes me miserable and grumpy. I also get lazy and just not Mmmm don’t want to do anything. But knowing I have to just make it a couple more hours and then off to bed will help reset my life for tomorrow. Then I’ll be back to my chipper, motivated and productive self.
