I’ve been on night shift for the past 3 years and it’s really affecting me. I am programmed to sleep from 9 am until at least 3 pm. It makes it hard to enjoy a day off because when I am most awake there is no sun, nothing is open and no one else is awake.

I miss sunlight. I miss nature.

Today when I get home from work I am going to stay awake, whatever it takes. I have to start having a life. Billy is much better at it than I am.

We have plans later today but I’m not sure what time. It’s very exciting though so hopefully that will help me stay alert.
