Jettisoned Ponderings

No workout yesterday, and none today. I have a good reason this time. Work has been hard to come by the past month, so I’ve jumped on any extra opportunity to make some extra cash. I won’t have a fixed schedule until after New Year’s, so yesterday when I heard another gym needed someone to cover a couple night shifts, I jumped on the chance. I could really use 14 extra hours of work this week. The problem was that since it was on short notice, I couldn’t amend my sleep schedule. I work 4-7pm (thankfully in this case we close an hour earlier than usual this time of year), usually going to lift after that. The night shift is 11pm-6am. Not so fun… the joys of working at a gym open 24 hours a day. So I tried to get any extra sleep I could during the day as my body would permit. Didn’t help a whole lot and I think it actually made me more lethargic. I came home between shifts to eat and rest a little longer, then got up just early enough to make some coffee (which was gone within the hour) for what it was worth to keep me awake. I got home around 6:30, ate breakfast, and passed out till a little after 10am. I’m hoping to get some more rest after lunch because I get to do it all again tonight! At least I was able to switch my shift on Weds from opening to closing so I can sleep a little more tomorrow morning and we’re closing early for Christmas Eve. I’m really looking forward to Christmas just to get some good quality recovery time at this point. This is totally throwing off my internal clock.
