still feelin' a wee bit sleepy

so, here's a little explanation on the 75 hour shift. we have some adult clients who get a lot of service hours. i worked with a client who gets respite hours. respite is from 330 on friday till 7am monday.

i started about 2 on friday...luckly it was admissions day that day (the day hawaii was made a state...yes that is still a holiday here) so i didn't have to work my regular school day. if we did have school that day it would have been more than 80 hours.

anyhoo...i get to sleep, but have to stay awake when she is awake. luckly she slept well this weekend. but, like i said, it's just not being at home. sleeping on a couch, etc...but the money is great! it's a little over $900 which really helps right now. i think all of you know, but elliot got laid off. they closed an office and laid a bunch of people off which totally sucks, but he did qualify for unemployment, and it's not a ton less than he was making before.

anyway, so monday at 7 am i left kahului, and drove to kihei to work my 6.5 hour school day, then straight back to kahului to work till about 6...including the driving it was about 75 hours from friday to monday.

then i worked two 13 hour days-tuesday and wednesday. whew! good for the paycheck, not so great for the sleep schedule. by the time i finally got home i had a hard time getting to sleep. they asked if i could work another 13 hour day on thursday, but i had to say no. it was a little too much for me, so i went home and took a nap.

so, it went 75, 13, 13, 6.5, and 6.5...nice overtime though!
