Night Shift

Good night to those who are heading to bed. Thanks for the support.

@Silenus, hugs...

Hi @Snuchu how are you going now? Did you eat that pizza? Looking after our nutrition is one of the self-care things that really help keep us a bit more stable in my opinion. Maybe by now you are asleep with a full tummy. Hoping your night is better than your day was and that tomorrow is better for you too.

Great snooze thanks @Silenus It took 4 shorter sleeps but I ended up with 8 hours all together - a record for me for a few months now. So maybe things are starting to improve.

How are you today? Want to do some cleaning at my house?! Another thing I can't get motivated about. Just keep it looking basically ok but close inspection it would not bear.

@eth, I decided to go out with my dad for a ride and I ended up doing bank stuff so that's a victory for me. I got my pizza now.. Just waiting for it to cool down.

I'm in better spirits.. Thank you guys so much for supporting me. 🙂

Hi @Silenus @eth

My Dad tells a story about two truck drivers doing the run between Sydney and Perth, and back again. The older one is seasoned, the younger one a rookie.

They start out, the younger guy taking the first shift, the older one sleeping in the bunk.

The younger guy gets right into it, ploughing on through the night, all eyes and ears on the road, vigilant, focussed, working hard.

When his shift is over, he wakes the older guy to do his shift, and falls into the bunk bleary-eyed to take his turn sleeping.

At the end of the next shift, he is woken by the older guy, looking as fresh as a daisy ...

He gets back to his work, driving the rig while the older guy sleeps. By the time they get to Perth, the younger guy is confused ... he feels so worn out, but the older guy has a definite spring in his step.

So he asks the question - "Why am I so tired from doing thus work, and you're not ? What's the secret ?"

The older guy answered him, "It's the difference in our outlook. You get up there behind the wheel, and you go to work. I get up there behind the wheel and take a lovely drive through the countryside for four hours. I have been doing this a long time son. You have the choice which way you want to do it. I choose to love my job."

I think about this story when I don't feel like doing something I have to do, and try to work out how to make it "a drive in the countryside". Taking notes from you @Silenus ❣

So glad to hear you're feeling better and got your banking done @Snuchu. Enjoy that pizza! Is your Dad able to be supportive about things like how you were feeling earlier? Just hoping you have some support.
