NOT AS MUCH SLEEP AS I WOULD LIKE TO GET... BUT I'M STILL PUSHING FORWARD!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

 

TODAY WAS A SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING DAY FOR ME, HMMM...  HOW SHALL I TELL THE STORY...  SO HERE GOES...

 

AFTER WORKING YESTERDAY'S EVENING SHIFT AT ALASKA AIRLINES, I HAVE A 2 HOUR WINDOW BEFORE I HEAD OVER TO MY OTHER JOB AT BYF WORKING THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8AM.  SO WITHIN THAT 2 HOUR WINDOW, I PREPARE MY MEALS AND HIT THE SHOWERS AND IF I'M LUCKY, I'LL GET AN HOUR REST/NAP BEFORE I HEAD OUT TO WORK.  AFTER I FINISHED MY GRAVEYARD SHIFT I NORMALLY GO STRAIGHT BED AND WAKE UP AROUND 3PM TO START MY "INTERVAL JOGGING" SESSIONS.

 

BUT TODAY PLANS CHANGED BECAUSE I HAVE A "STAFF MEETING" TO ATTEND BACK AT BYF, WHICH MEANS I HAD TO WAKE UP EALIER THAN USUAL AT 12PM/NOON AND DO MY "INTERVAL JOGGING" SESSION

 

 

AND THEN HEAD BACK FOR MY STAFF MEETING WHICH WAS 2 HOURS LONG AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, I'M BACK AT MY FAVORITE JOB, ALASKA AIRLINES!!!

 

OH BY THE WAY...  MY TIME IMPROVED AGAIN, IT WAS A SHORTER DISTANCE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR MY MEETING BUT OVERALL "MILE PER MILE", MY TIMED IMPROVED BY ALMOST A MINUTE!!!

 

YEAH BABY!!!

 

 

AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO END MY "ALOHA THURSDAY"...
