Flipping it upside-down!

After six months of working at Radisson Blu Bodø, I'm doing my first night-shift tomorrow (technically today, but I haven't slept yet). Quite excited about this, even though it's just as training. Will be the one to fill in if one of the usual guys get sick, go on vacation or just want some time off. One would think that, after years of sleeping during the day and staying awake half the night, not to mention a couple of weeks (months) of working nothing but late- and night shifts, I'd have no problem staying up all night. 

I do.

Seriously, I think I might have fallen asleep while I was getting coffee. And yes, at times like this, I drink coffee. Black (with tons of sugar and milk). Had three cups so far. So while my brain is going; "woooowooowoooooo", my body is going; "...this ain't gonna happen". 

Please imagine that that puppys leg is my brain.. woowoowoo!

To top it all of, my wonderful boyfriend is sleeping in the next room. He's got the early shift tomorrow, which means that I have to stay kindofsortof quiet. Been playing Destiny (on really low volume) for a couple of hours now, but it just got to complicated for my brain to comprehend. 

I'm starting to feel really bad for the guy who's training me tomorrow, since this probably will be me around 3am:

I will leave you with this:

Sleep

Among things that are really stupid to do when you have to be at work at 7 a.m - taking a two hour powernap is pretty far up on the list. Along with not going to sleep until 2 a.m. And not eating more than two meals a day. 

Guess what I've done today!

So right now I'm bright awake, will hate myself when the alarm goes off in the morning, and might hate myself even more when I fall asleep on the couch tomorrow after work. 

Oh well.

Other than that... 

I'm still crazy in love, we're spending tons of time together, and I'm loving every minute of it. Probably slightly mean, but I also love it when he goes out and I get to spend some time alone. Gives me time to recharge and have a cup of hot chocolate. Winter has officially come to Bodø and there's nothing like something warm to drink, a blanket and a good book/movie/some knitting. Oh my, I got old.
