Reflections of an overtired nurse!

I haven't been feeling all that well, but I am feeling MUCH better tonight. Strangely enough, going to the gym in the afternoon was therapeutic for me. I find now I feel almost worse if I don't get out and train on a regular basis. I just know I have to go easier and not push myself TOO hard when I'm tired or sick.

I'm up late tonight to prepare for my three night shifts...sigh. Night shifts are particularly rough for me to get my body switched around to doing. The biggest challenges are getting adequate sleep and eating right. One of the few drawbacks to being a nurse in my opinion. I know people who love working overnight...not me anymore!

Been thinking about how my life has changed so dramatically. I am now so much more confident in who I am as a person and I don't shy away from taking action. My 30th Birthday is fast approaching and I can't wait! I joke about getting old sometimes but honestly I feel younger now than I have in years! Physically, that is. Mentally...well...I just hope I don't get too much more forgetful. I think I'm just juggling a lot of stuff in my head. That's my excuse anyway!

I think I've stayed up late enough!
