New Routines

Let's play a little round of good news, bad news.

Good news: I absolutely love the new job. I feel like I've found purpose; I like going to work; I smile when I'm coming out of work. My back hurts less. I'm figuring things out.

Bad news: This week begins night shift. I haven't actually worked a shift yet, but the transition begins tonight.

Good news: I will likely be blogging more often, because on my nights off, I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to do with myself.

Bad news: I'm going to be exhausted all the time...at least until I adapt. I'm afraid of the strain it's going to put on me, the Darkness, my relationships.

Good news: But I made it! I'm in the hospital, at my end goal for what I wanted to do with my career since graduating college! Sure, there are some adjustments I want to make down the road with my shift and my hours, but everyone has to pay their dues.

I guess that's all I've got for tonight. I always sound much more sophisticated, eloquent, smart...in my head. By the time I write it out, not so much. But anyone who still reads this blog, you're in for a...treat? Because I think my writing is going to pick up again when my brain and my body adjust to the night shift mode.
