Now I lay me down to sleep

I haven't been around for a couple days because I've been catching up on some sleep. Wednesday morning the boss asked me if I would come back that night and work 4-9. Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I said yes. It was an easy enough job just standing at the register all night cashing people out. 
Between the 13 hour work day and getting Gibbs used to the new routine I have been a bit tired. After work on Thursday I came home and crashed on the couch. Friday was spent napping, lounging, vegetating in front of the tv and a little reading.  Not how I had planned on spending that extra day off but it worked.

Good for you! This is called "taking care of yourself".

It makes a big difference if we have a choice. I'm glad you're resting and taking care of yourself when you are at home.

I dud miss you, but you got to rest at some point....and a few extra bucks always comes in handy.

One of the things we don't seem to be good at is listening to our bodies - when your body says "rest" , you rest. Good for you for listening.

It all sounds good to me and that time lounging is good for you!

Ann said...

yep and I sure needed it

Ann said...

it does help having a choice.

Ann said...

I respond well to extra money in the paycheck...lol

Ann said...

I did listen but honestly if I hadn't it wouldn't have allowed me to do anything else. I was totally wiped out.

Lin said...

Good work, Ann! It is so easy to push on and ignore sleep. I am glad you could rest.

Terra said...

The expression on that little doll is the best. I too enjoy occasional days of rest, I tell people I am nurturing myself.

Ann said...

To be honest, I didn't give myself much of a choice. The body said you WILL sleep...lol

Ann said...

That expression is just pure bliss to me.
Nurturing yourself sounds like a good way to describe it.

Reeni said...

That's such a long day! I hope Gibbs is doing better!!

Ann said...

Yes, very long but the last 5 hours went pretty fast. Gibbs is doing pretty good.

Duni said...

Oh Ann, I really think you are working too hard. You should take some "me" time...

Ann said...

Me time sounds wonderful. Unfortunately we are short handed at work so it's difficult to take more than a long weekend which I do have one scheduled.
