My thoughts released; a mind set free |
Another bitter cold day and I'm beat. It wasn't as windy today, but the temperature dropped way below zero, and combined with the wind we did have, it was dangerous low wind chill advisory. At least today I didn't have to work a double shift in it, which helped a lot. Even so, I'm still beat from yesterday. I don't know what it is about the extreme cold, but it sure does take a lot out of a person. Of course, only getting about two hours sleep the night before last, then working eleven hours straight through with only a couple of short breaks for the bathroom didn't help me any. I did get a bit more sleep last night, I suppose it was ten o'clock at the latest when I dropped off to sleep, probably even earlier. I slept sound, not waking for anything until the alarm went off this morning. Rhonda hit the snooze and we snuggled up and dozed for eight minutes, but I could not actually sleep, I was ready to get up. A cup of coffee and a half hour to wake up, then get dressed and out into the very cold morning. It was busier at work today, too. I'm glad I didn't have to stay any longer than I did today, and would have liked to have just had the day off, but that isn't possible with the number of workers we have right now. I could have taken a nap, too, but decided not to, so I would sleep good tonight and maybe, just maybe, get back on some sleep. I still have three days of work before another day off, so it would be a good thing to catch up on my sleep and recover from yesterday a bit. So, with that, I'm off to get ready for bed. |
