Overnights...

I thought that working nights would be a breeze; get yourself in the groove and off you go. And so far, so good. Now after 5 nights in a row I have "hit the wall". I'm so tired my eyes cross when I try to read. Which is really not good since that's how I pass at least half the time. I even grabbed Starbucks before I came (something I have tried really hard not to do)! Thankfully I have Sunday night off and I can catch some extra Z's.
In the meantime, I'll dive into my, rather large, bag of tricks and try to get through till 7:00am.

The essentials for overnights:

1. The longest book I own: Lord of the Rings
2. At least 1 silly gossip magazine: right now it's People and US weekly
3. The B-I-B-L-E: I have time so I am out of excuses
4. Portable DVD player with in-ear-headphones: One ear on Peyton, one on the movie
5. 2-3 DVD's for the hardest part of the shift: 3am to 4am, the longest hour of my life
6. Diet Coke and some guilt free snack: carrots! (because eating keeps you awake)
