Randoms

-Work has doubled night shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Those are the 2 nights I want off the most.  Through trades it is possible to get earlier shifts but it will create a lot of favours I will owe people in the future.  It may come to the point where I will have to choose between Tuesdays and Thursdays.  :(

-I'm not the kind of person that finds himself missing people.  However, I'm finding myself missing people.  Is this a good thing?  I don't know what to do about it.

-I don't journal and haven't blogged as often as I used to, or want to.  Work and life are incredibly busy.  I am going to focus my time on efficiency in hopes of having more free time to do the things that help me rest and recharge.

-I would like to get a dog.  My schedule disagrees.

-I wanted to get my motorbike licence this Summer.  I'll try next year.

-I'm scheduled to start teaching Sunday School at church soon.

-I haven't made a genuine meal in a long time.  It's been all boxes, cans, and microwaves.  I want to change that.

My meals have been dull lately too (when I've been home) - until tonight! Finally made some food from scratch and it was tasty!

That's sad to hear about the doubling of shifts :( Perhaps you could take Sunday & Mondays off, work Tues morning, Wed evening, Thurs morning, Friday nights, Saturdays... Never mind! That sounds like a good way to mess up a sleep schedule!

Missing people is a good thing. It means you have developed a connection with them and value them in your life. Never a bad thing that's for sure :)

So when are you buying a motorbike? Bet now is a good season :)

SO much to reply to.

MMMMM food.
I wish shift trading were that simple but there's a lot of rules and regulations to be followed. It's difficult to go from a night shift one day to a day shift the next. And any change I make for me creates ripples for everyone else as well. And Monday's are busy so no actually gets them off. And sleep. How I miss you.

And people too. I'm not the kind of guy who has ever called someone up and asked to do something or hang out. (Or maybe I used to be that guy.) I would always meet up with people at an event or something because I knew they'd be there. Asking someone to spend time with me for no other reason but to spend time with me felt too much like being open to rejection and I never took the chance. And I was a loner so rarely did I actually want to be with people. I'm working on it.

The motor bike may have to wait. I just don't have the time. I find it difficult to spend $ on myself, especially when I don't think I'll really use the thing I'm buying, or need it.
