Enjoy your vacation' especially visiting your Sister' thats is truly special.My “happy”…I started my vacation today. I have nine days off; two weekends, one paid holiday, four paid vacation days.
Car has been washed, vacuumed, filled with gas and the oil changed. Cash from the bank, snacks from the store. Load in the dryer and then I can finish packing. Downloaded extra books and picked a few Small knitting projects.
Going to visit my oldest daughter…it’s been two years. Also going to have dinner with my younger sister…we haven’t really spoken in ten years.
Half of the vacation will be ‘away’, the other half ‘stay’.
I should be doing something, but I’m on vacations.
designing some individual moulds and printing them in the 3d printer, then making unique shampoo bars (scented with @KiwiMoose's Karma Chameleon fragrance blend). Probably some lotions and other bits and pieces too, since hatching time involves a lot of waiting and sitting on hands trying not to interfere too much!
I LOVE kitchen gadgets, and that one looks like a beauty! Between @Zing's house and your tomato machine, I'm just beside myself.
So happy for you!!!! I hated rotating shifts; they are harder on the mind & body than constant nocs. I worked nights for many many years, and when I finally went to days, it took several months to adapt to being awake at 11 am in the morning. Without fail, come 11 am, no matter how well I slept the night before, fatigue would hit me; it was as if my brain couldn't quite grasp the whole concept. Eventually it did, but boy was that an eye opener to me on how alternate shifts can affect us long term.
So happy for you! There have been some studies that indicated that constantly switching shifts is bad for physical and mental health, not to mention productivity and attention to detail. I know I am more likely to make mistakes when I am tired, can't imagine how badly I would perform if my body clock had to constantly adjust. Hope employers are paying attention to that, especially in the healthcare field.
If they were paying attention to it, after all these years that those studies have been around, they would be doing more about it, but the general consensus seems to be 'we do what we have to do', and that seems to boil down to ignoring it until the unions force them to do otherwise.
