I knew that getting a few good hours sleep after my first night shift was too good to be true and bound not to last, but I was not expecting this. Due to the nice weather I have had very little sleep over the weekend. The kids have all been playing out in my street and who can blame them, nice weather has to be taken advantage of. With constant screams, laughs and the kicking of footballs at windows I have accumulated a tiredness I have never before experienced
I don't know whether or not there may be some delayed jet lag too, but I can honestly say that I have never been so tired. I'm normally fairly placid and not prone to mood swings but I now feel completely rattled and it has become noticeable over the last couple of nights. I think I was probably on the verge of tears all night last night, and I have only managed 2 hours kip today. Luckily I am off tonight so I may manage a sleep and feel better tomorrow.
One of my colleagues is having a leaving do tonight, as she is going to work in New Zealand. She's not leaving work for another couple of weeks, and I saw her last night and wished her well. I would like to go to the do, but I'm so damn tired, aching all over and generally p***ed off that I keep bursting into tears. She understands and I've arranged to see her before she leaves. I just feel like I need a cuddle and a bit of tlc today.
