Physical and Mental Shutdown

I am going to start by saying that I am sorry that I am not smiling in this picture. I took this last night when I got home from work around 11 pm Pacific Time last night from work. I was and still am mentally and physically exausted. Let me tell you why.

It all started Friday night when I had to work from 4 to closing. Now my restaurant closes at 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. That is when the dorrs lock. Not when we actually get to leave. I think that it must have been around midnight when I got home. Now I dont know about you, but when I get home from work, it takes at least an hour to wind down and cool down before I can fall asleep. Well it took an hour, so I didnt get to bed till around 1 in the morning. Now that is when i layed down to go to sleep. Not when I actually fell asleep. I thing that that happened around 3. I had to get up very very early on Saturday morning. like 6 am early. I had several things that i needed to do that morning. Everything from cleaning house to washing the car. I was done with everything that I needed to get done around 1. I had to work at 4 that day, so I didnt have enough time to take a nap. SO I played an hour of 360 to relax, answered the questions that I was asked in my blog, and went to work for another closing shift. I got home on Saturday at the same time I did on Friday. Now what really sucked on this particular Saturday was the Spring Forward junk. I lost a precious hour of sleep. I had to rise at 5, so that was what? Maybe 2 hours of sleep? I had signed up to operate the audio/visual booth at church that morning, so I got to run the sound board and setup the powerpoint for both services that morning. I got to church around 6, and worked till noon. Then I went to eat and go to Wal-Mart for essentials (no new games though *tear*. I got done and home about 3. Horray. Only one hour till work again. Another closing shift!!!! Horray. Thankfully I got home at 11 instead of midnight last night. I was going to write this last night, but I was shaking all over. I took the picture right before I passed out. Needless to say, I completly shut down last night. And I get to close again tonight!!! Yay me.

On a lighter note, I am going to post a picture of my cat doing what I need to be doing so badly right now.

To those who read this sad story, thank you. I'll post a picture of me smiling tomorrow afternoon when I dont have to work. I give you my word.
