July 1st and All is Well

I am about 3/4th of the way through my first grave shift of the year. Only two more hours and then I get to go home and try to sleep on what is going to be one of our hotter days of the year. I’ve been working hard the past week trying to get my body turned around so that I can stay awake all night and sleep during the day.

The past couple of days I’ve been able to keep my eyes open until 4:00 am, so I should make it to 6 am without too much trouble. After a few more days of this, I should be pretty well adjusted. By December 31st I won’t even remember what it is like to work when the sun is shining.

We are half way through 2009. The year is going pretty fast, but so far everyone in the family seems to be hanging in there without any major problems.

Grave shift, which for us is 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, is usually slowest shift. That’s kind of why I’m hoping I’ll be able to be a bit more dedicated to regular updates to the blog. At 4 in the morning when nothing is going on is a good time to jot something down to blog about.

Right now, on my first full night, I’m not really thinking straight, so I’ll quit for now, and try again in a night or two. Happy Fourth of July to everyone, Have a Safe and Sane Holiday!
