Free Fall

Life has been a little manic of late, there is so much going on that my head is in free fall spin mode, I do wonder if it will actually fly off my neck at some point. Sleep has been a rare thing, and is likely to get even rarer. My shifts at work have been changed, I work nights, I have been doing three nights a week, which is great, lots of free time to do other stuff, even knitting occcasionally. This Sunday afternoon we were informed that we would now be doing four nights a week on a slightly different day rotation, on our second week rotation we will be doing three on, one off and one on, not good for sleeping patterns. I have also just learnt that the Diner / Cafe that my other boss has been trying to buy is a done deal, so I will be working all other hours there, my OH thinks that I am a complete stranger as it is, we kind of say goodbye and hello in the same breath most days. Looking forward to taking over the Diner though, loads of ideas to improve the menu, it needs a bloody good clean, I wouldn't let my dog eat in there as it is now, and he is really not fussy at all.
On the knitting front I still haven't blocked the cushion cover, and I have cast on a lacy scarf for the Grandaughter, pink of course, everything has to be pink, I was going to post a progress picture but the computer says No.
I have booked my tickets for me and Mother to Unravell 2011 at the Farnham Maltings for 26th February, my Birthday present to myself, I hope to find something suitably gorgeous for the Maidenhair Shawl while I am there and I am sure a few other naughties will find their way into my hands as well.

That sounds like a weary and frazzling scenario. My hubby used to do split shifts, one week of days, one week of nights, and it was awful, not knowing whether a meal was supposed to be breakfast or supper and not having a proper sleep pattern.

Oops - that comment dashed off by mistake before I'd finished!
I hope you soon adapt and try to find a little oasis of time for yourself in your hectic life.
Good luck with the diner too - is that your day job? What do you do at nights?
Take care, hugs
