Mums afternoon shifts have come to an end, but now she is finishing her seven day stretch with four nights of night shift. Today is an odd day as she prepares to start work at 11.30pm.
Today she tried to sleep in for as long as she could, but she only managed until 7am. She then took it easy puttering round the house. It was raining outside so she waited until there was a break in the weather to go out. Supplies were brought and another pile of books from the library came home.
We then both had a nap for a couple of hours which was nice. Now mum is beginning to get ready for her shift. She will pack a little food and be optimistic and take her book. So I am in charge overnight ready for her to get back in the morning.

We had a small taste of night shift when James worked nights, causes havoc with sleep cycles. Hope you had a gentle night at work.

ReplyDeleteThe first shift following a change like that must be tough. Good luck to her.
