Exhaustion Sets In!

   

So this weekend, I had a little bit of a busy set of 2 days.  On Saturday, I joined my husband for some shopping at the mall and a couple of other stores.  After that, we cleaned up the apartment a bit.  Once everything settled down,  I realized that I only had about 3 hours before having to go on an eight hour watch at work from midnight until 8 AM on Sunday morning, so I opted to stay up rather than getting just enough sleep to make my tiredness worse.  Well then you guessed it!  Ten thirty PM came around and I got dressed in uniform and made the drive to base to stand and eight hour watch.  I made sure to grab plenty of water and snacks.  And so my first ever Officer of the Deck watch starts.   It was quite uneventful, which is the best thing that could ever happen!!  Fast forward to 8 AM, Sunday morning and I was home.  I finally crawled into bed and had some much needed rest.  I only slept until about 11 AM (thank you puppies!).  I got up and started the laundry along with a few other household chores that needed to get done before the start of the work week.  I know that this isn't the ideal way to celebrate Easter Sunday, however, being up all day and night on Saturday limited my celebration.  So!!!  Now that I have bored you with my unusually extremely busy weekend, you can imagine that today (Monday) is a recovery day.  I went to work and came home.  And that is about as much as I plan on doing.  I am so exhausted that I would probably pass out on the treadmill after 1 mile.  So, I made the decision to take today off and start my weeks routine tomorrow.

Moral of the Story:  Know your limits and make sure you get the rest that you need!
