what time is it

The other night I woke up in the middle of the night. It was 10:45 pm when I woke up. I had been down almost three hours by that time. It was dark in my bedroom and I was really confused. Allison was sleeping next to me which is a good sign. I looked at the clock thinking it must almost be time to get up. When I looked at it I thought it said 1:45 am. I couldn't decide to get up or not. I only had another half hour till my alarm went off. So I got up and looked at my phone. It said 10:45 too, but I still couldn't register it my head. So I went out to the living room and then into the kitchen. When the kitchen clocks said 10:45 I finally realized I was up way to early. So I went to the bathroom and crawled back into bed with Allison. I was scared I wouldn't fall asleep, but I was out in a heart beat.

I was so thankful for the extra four hours of sleep my body thought it got. Life can't get better than realizing you still have a couple hours to sleep till you have to get up.

a working man

I started work this week for UPS. I got my uniform on Wednesday and then they asked me to start work on the preload on Thursday. The preload is not the job I was hired to do, but it is work and if they decide to keep me after the holiday season then that is the job I'll be doing. It's an interesting job, I have to be there early in the morning, around three. The job is simple, you load the trucks. The packages come with the truck names and then a number so you know where to put the package in the truck.

On Friday I started my Driver Helper job. On this job I wear my uniform and get to help deliver packages.

This job was a lot of fun. I ran around downtown Bloomington for about six hours. Most of the places I went were business, but we did drop off a couple packages to residential. I would have had more fun if I had slept the night before. My body is still trying to adjust my new morning routine. I've been use to the getting up at about nine and watching Let's Make a Deal at ten.

Then going to Barnes and Noble or the library to use the internet. So I didn't get any sleep on Thursday night and I worked the two jobs for UPS that day. I wasn't really tired till the end of the shift. Then I came home and slept for over twelve hours. I don't think I've ever slept that long in my life, but after twenty-eight hours of being awake I needed it. I'm a working man again and it feel good. Okay my feet and legs are sore, but a good sore.
