Feeling achy. I know what that is. Just the effect of swinging my biological schedule around like a cat by the tail. It's an analogy. I would not do that.
I did get a short nap yesterday. GF did come over and I was happy to spend some time with her. Even at loss of sleep. Had not seen her but for a couple of hours last week and that was after more than a week prior.
She had to go to a funeral in Birmingham today. She is very sad because it was her favorite remaining uncle. She also felt guilty because he had been sick while she had been sick and she was unable to visit him before he passed. Then tomorrow she has an UGI which she has been waiting for and had to suspend some medications for, for the second time in a short period.
So I know I won't get to see her until at least Thur and even then I work Wed and Thur nights, so that time will be limited.
I did get some decent rest today. Really needed that. Have not been sleeping long enough in addition to the schedule swings. So feeling that.
Did not make it to the gym this morning because of fatigue. Maybe tomorrow. Though tonight may be a rough night. We're expected to be one nurse short. So I will be taking on the role of two nurses, while another nurse takes over a spot she doesn't normally do. We work together well, so we'll get through it. Just a question of what condition we'll be in when it's over! lol!
I have to make a decision by 7/10/18 on my future living arrangements. Seems fairly definite I will not have the money for a down payment on a house by 9/10/18, which is when my lease ends. This complex requires notification of move-out 60 days in advance. So, I have to gather a down payment and find a house, rent a new place or extend my lease. If I rent, it would mean moving again, then moving once more when I buy a place. Not liking that idea much.
In the meantime, I also need to get another vehicle. Plus I need new glasses and should get a new set of dentures. In addition, I am trying to get more furniture (mostly dressers) to help organize. I think one more will do it. Talked with daughter again and she doesn't want one for her room. Eventually, I will still get one. I know she likes keeping things consolidated at her mother's house but I'd rather she at least have the means to keep things here if she so chooses.
I'll get it all figured out somehow. Have to up my hours at work because I only have two shifts next week. Those are on Mon and Wed, so I can't pick up a different shift (morning or evening) Tue or Thur. That would destroy me physically. Maybe Fri morning if available. But it's a good opportunity of possible to get oriented to another facility, which expands my future choices for work. I'll check on that tomorrow.
