Well I'm now three shift blocks back in my watch role. That means a set of 7am starts times two and a set of midnight finishes - each block being 3/4 days. So I'm tired.
I'm always tired on the fourth day of earlies. The alarm tends to creep to later and later but not this time around as shuffling different modes of transport meant either having my act together or end up running late - not an option.
So next block, nightshift and my brother is visiting from his home city. I still intend to sleep in my usual nightshift pattern - get home and straight to bed and by 9am snoozing. I usually wake then around 4-5pm and am up for the evening before heading out to work. Mind you I haven't done nightshift in nearly a year so it will be interesting to say the least.
My husband seems to hate that I get tired and takes it personally if I don't pay him as much attention as I begin to function on a fairly basic level - do what's required to get by and no more in the effort to conserve energy. I guess it's hard not to take things personally but it's funny how the kids seem to be much more accepting of the little attention and cut me slack and accept me for where I'm at.
It's all an adjustment again and hopefully I'm as adaptable as I thought I was. It's times like this that I think studying for a degree is just too much, maybe I should stick with the internal promotional structure. We'll wait and see tho...
