I don't think you realize how bad swinging between nights and day shift throws off your sleep cycles and whole bio-rhythms. You will probably notice a large up-lift staying on days for a while. Keep yourself busy , it helps a lot and good luck. We are here if you need to talk :)

Yeah I think the effects happened slow enough that I didn't really realize, then my body basically just crashed. But in past 2 or so years is probably when it started. I always felt kinda sluggish. Did not really realize it, but now that I think about it, I definitely have not been as energetic as before. I'm sure sticking to mostly days is going to help me regain my energy and will power to do stuff.

Drugs are also helping I think. I don't feel depressed or anxious anymore, been good for past 1-2 days now. My family is out of town for the weekend as well so it will be a good test to make sure I'm fine. Although I'm kinda worried since there's suppose to be a huge winter storm on the day they come back. I hope they just stay for a few days to ride it out and don't drive in that crap. I can't stop thinking about that Humboldt bus accident and what those families are going through. They must be going through serious depression right now. At least with mine, there was no real physical cause. ex: nothing to actually be depressed about. So that will make recovery easier I think.

Told the draftsman I didn't know when I'd get back to the office. That was factually correct, but I figured I'd be back close to quitting time. I just didn't feel like driving his worthless ass home, and I wanted to do my taxes at the office. He had texted me back saying his girlfriend would get him. Great! I stopped by the liquor store on the way back to the office, and got some Yuengling porter and Four Roses small batch bourbon for tax preparation(FACT: The more fucked up you get, the bigger the refund :^P ).

Got started on my taxes, and got to drink beer in front of his alcoholic ass. That really made the beer taste better :^D Took about an hour to do the taxes, and his girlfriend didn't get there until 1.25 hours past quitting time. He was probably sweating and pissed that his usual ride was sitting in front of him drinking beer, and he couldn't leave. I could have finished quicker, but I wanted to leave after him. Didn't want to rub it in too much :^P

I probably sound like an asshole(I am), but I'm fucking sick of him. He's literally worthless to me, and I have to drive him to and from work. I do it for the boss, not him. Anyone with a clue would realize people probably DON'T want to leave early in the morning, and get home 45 minutes later than they should, but he's oblivious to... Pretty much everything. The only thing he thinks about is his next cigarette, and some piss water he considers beer. Never mind that he has one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel, and it isn't normal to pant like a St Bernard after a 20' walk...

anyway...

tl;dr
I got my taxes done, and had a leisurely afternoon instead of playing chauffeur.

Rained yesterday afternoon , stormed all night , supposed to rain on/off all day. I still need to get out there today with My pole saw - possibly a small ladder - and top the last 4 trees so I can drop the trunks. FUN !
They are not all that big - maybe 4" Dia. for the largest - but the tops are above the power lines so I need to use some caution ...

We have a huge winter storm on the way. I kinda hope it passes, or at very least I hope it only starts late. I'll be off and I can just stay in the house and wait till it finishes then go snow blow the driveway. I hate being hit with storms when I have to leave early then I have to scramble to get the car cleared and out of the driveway.
