So the plant I work in is going through a turnaround which requires work 24/7. I originally was scheduled to work 5pm to 5am. Thankfully that was adjusted to 5am to 5pm which is still a very long day but much better than working nights. I have an hour drive to work so that makes my work day 14 hours. It's going to be hard and I'm sure I will be very very tired but it's only for 3 weeks. And after this is over Tommy and I have decided to take a short vacation to Arkansas or San Antonio to relax.

Have a great week,

I can see clearly now...

the dust is gone!

I’ve felt very under the weather today so I stayed home from work. I worked from home until about 1:00 and then I got this burst of energy (I think it was all the antibiotics I was taking). Every time I get sick I can’t sit still. This is good but also bad because I don’t lie down and rest. So anyway, I decided to waste away the time scrubbing my kitchen front top to bottom. And then I had to take pictures to prove it. Maybe the clean smell will help me feel better. With the couples shower next weekend I can’t afford to be sick this weekend. I have lots to do and only 1 weekend to do it in.

And in other news…I’m switching positions at work! Woo hoo. I’ve been trying to do this for over 6 months now and I think its finally going to happen next week. My boss sent me an email today saying I could start the transition. The new position should be very interested, a lot more hands on, and probably a lot busier. I can’t wait!
