Trying to Adjust to Schedule

The last couple days have been difficult for us for one main reason - adjusting to the schedule. The problem is that we are so tired during the day because it is our normal sleep time while working all night. We need to get assigned the day shift so that our days off can match the work days. The first day off for us is Thursday - actually, Thursday afternoon by the time we get up from working Wednesday night. We are tired by around 10 PM that night and rather than sleep in our chairs, we go to bed. Then, we are ready to get up at 7 AM on Friday and the next 2 days are the same - trying not to waste the days, but our bodies are saying we should be in bed. We toss and turn during the night because we should be working.  Sheesh! We keep pushing for the day shift and we are sure that we will get transferred to days as soon as management will allow it for workampers. Next week we will try to get out and do some fun activities and see if that helps. In the meantime, we begin the cycle all over again tonight at 5 PM when we go back to work.

We had a repeat of Friday yesterday while I watched the British Open Golf Tournament and Josie read some more. We did reorganize our movies into the closets we use for them since we also wanted to know what movies we need to get. We try to get the complete sets of the popular movies - Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. - and we are behind in getting the latest releases. Now we know which ones we still need in order to complete those sets. We also copy shows and movies from TV on the nights we work, so we try to catch up on those during the day.

The weather needs to cooperate a little more for us also. The last couple days have been overcast, humid and sometimes stormy. It looks like more of the same today. The weather will probably turn glorious when we return to work. This will be the second full week for us, so we are looking for some stability in our muscles and in how we react to our schedule. We'll see...
