T-T-Terific Tuesday

I haven't started the morning thread for a few days.  Happy tuesday everyone.  Saw the neighbor kids waiting at the bus stop as I walked home from work this morning.  Just a dusting of snow from yesterday.  I don't look forward to the slippery sidewalk time from now till spring.  Fell on my keister a couple times last winter, first had to look around to see if anyone was watching from the apt windows.  Listened to the pideons cooing as they walked the stone ledge of the nearby apt building.  They look like they are just pacing along the wall, back and forth.  The building looks pretty clean (dropping wise) these pigeons hang out on the ledges year round.

One more night shift this week, then a class during the daytime on Thursday, just to throw my body off schedule.  Any plans developing for the upcoming weekend?  I am still open for suggestions.  I left the sweet rolls alone that were in the breakroom last night, the box of chocolate, shouting at me was harder to ignore.  I finally had one nibble, then decided that it didn't taste as good as I anticipated and tossed the rest of the piece.  I was still craving chocolate from the smell in there.  I had a can of slimfast in my locker, heated in a coffee cup, close to cocoa.  Filled the craving.  Gotta find a way around the sweets that arrive in the breakroom this time of the year.  I can't just stay away, there are some needed supplies that are stored on the other end of the space.

Sleep was interrupted yesterday, several calls from my stepson, work called (the question could have waited till later) oh well, at least it was between the other calls.  Enjoyed the group at chat last evening.  Looking forward to next week.

Take care everyone, Hugs,Kathy

Good Morning! I actually slept in a bit today. I decided i needed it and boy did I. I am going to be taking my 13 month old grandson today, and will have him overnight. This should keep me way more than busy for sure!
Kathy I hope you are able to rest up well today without the interruptions. Those day shift nurses just don't seem to get that your nights sleep is during the day and when they call like that, it would be like you calling them at 3 am.
Hope all works out with the situation with your step son.
Hugs and love to all! Wisning you all a great day

So inquiring minds want to know, what line of work are you in Bear?   Good to see your posts here with the group, hope to get a chance to chat with you one of these mondays.  I work night shift as a nurse, used to asking lots of questions of people.  I enjoy the work, it has it's moments, like any other job.  The good moments wayyyyyy out weigh the others.  Pun intended. lol.

Enjoy a great day today.  Kathy

Bear

Bless you for the work you do.  Makes their lives the best they can be.  Kathy

Hope you all had a good day. I also haven't been able to make it to the chats yet but look forward to the time I am able to.

Kathy, you are my hero! You passed on the sweet rolls and you spit out the chocolate after realizing it wasn't all that you were thinking it would be. That is awesome, I'm so proud of you! Have you ever tried flavored coffee or teas to see if that helps when sweets are all around you? For me, pre-op, a a cup of hot coffee fills me up and with slpenda and SF Davinci syrup they can help get over cravings. Don't know if I';ll be able to have that after. Chocolate cravings can be monsters though. Hope you find something that helps you get through the temptations without surrendering.
Hope you can get some good, uninterrupted sleep soon. I'd be in a mess if I had to work nights. I don't know if my body would ever adjust.

Take care everyone and have a great day tomorrow.

Rhonda : )

Hi Rhonda, went to bed at 10 last night slept till 5 am, what a difference.  I usually get good sleep during the day, depend on the surroundings.  Eye mask mimics night time so light coming in around the blackout curtain doesn't bother me.  I can sleep through the dogs barking, unless they are on the bed and in my face.  Warm slimfast chocolate is close to hot chocolate and works, plus has protein.  Tried coffee years ago, didn't like the gut rot feeling, I do love the smell of coffee and enjoy the odors when co-workers have a cup.  As long as I have a good protein source handy, I am good with the cravings.

Take care.  Hugs, Kathy
