I burned the candle at too many ends, and I am paying for it today. I think this is the fallout from packing too many commitments into my evening shift week and into last week as well, especially a bunch of house visits.

I had lofty plans to do some cleaning today, but mostly all I've managed is a nap. I am trying to view today as a "radical rest" ( Read more... )

Normally working night shifts means I sleep most of the day away, but this morning I had my meeting with Ministry & Counsel at 9am, so exactly half an hour after I got home from work. Naturally the meeting went far past the hour it usually takes and lasted nearly two hours in total, and so by the time I was able to crawl to bed it was nearly noon. ( Read more... )

I am on the computer at work that blocks Dreamwidth, so I will have to repost this there at some point tomorrow. I don't know why the firewall is okay with LiveJournal and not Dreamwidth--the ways of the firewall are many and mysterious ( Read more... )

Got my booster shot today. I finished work at 6:00, left at around 6:30 after taking some time to talk to some of the other supervisors and offering what insight I have into some issues they’ve been experiencing. I ran home, drove the dogs to training, ran home again to have a meeting with the person I’m mentoring at work, then napped for about 30 ( Read more... )

 I'm struggling with energy levels and time management these days, and I feel as though I "wasted" most of the weekend because I didn't get much done. I have two major accomplishments to speak of, one of which was bringing Pixie and Peggy to a playdate with a new friend Pixie's age on Saturday morning, and finally getting around to making the beef ( Read more... )

I am SO TIRED. I worked a night shift and then I didn't really sleep much today because I took Peggy and Pixie out to see Santo's (their trainer) new property (he had to move in the fall after his partner decided to sell his half of the property at a price he couldn't match). It's slightly smaller than the previous property but has a lot more open ( Read more... )

 I have tried starting this post three times already and gotten distracted each time. I had the shittiest night of sleep in a very long time last night. I tried getting Peggy to sleep with me, and went to bed at the very reasonable time of 9:15. I awoke at 10:30 to her absolutely shredding the nice reading pillow KK gave me last month, so I put her ( Read more... )

 I am super tired, probably still paying for going to bed really late on Thursday. I got up early, although not as early as I intended. The snooze button pretends to be my friend, but it's not. On the other hand, I am really paranoid that if I disable the snooze function that I will just turn off my alarm and completely oversleep.
I got one bathroom ( Read more... )

I'd say "stick a fork in me, I'm done," except I have lost count of the forks, at this point ( Read more... )

Not a very productive work day, partly because I am really, really tired, and partly because I just cannot seem to "buckle down" when I'm home. I'm not surprised, but I am a little disappointed that even though I made a pretty good attempt to... I don't know, psychologically front-load a bit in order to mitigate what I knew had happened before, I ( Read more... )
