The "change" has come...

No, I am not menopausal... I woke up this morning fully refreshed and alert. I believe the changeover (sleep patterns, etc.) has finally come. My body has adapted to the new work and sleep schedules... Even yesterday, as I worked my "other" job (security at ASU football game), I finished around 11 pm but didn't go to sleep right away to keep the sleep pattern fresh. It worked. I woke up this morning to a phone call from Victor (wishing the Jets and I good luck), and I felt good for the first time since I started the job... (less aches and pains and well rested). I hope it's not just the fact that I am psyched to watch the Jets vs. the hated Patriots... (the gods are smiling on me by allowing me to watch the game at home). For a while, I didn't think I'd ever adjust. I was achy, my mind was fuzzy (more than usual) and I was tired all the time. What a difference now. I am multi-tasking to the max today. While I'm blogging , I'm doing laundry, cooking for the week, baking cookies and watching the games (with my free hand I'm patting myself on the back...). Basically, I'm able to do what normal adults do every day. I hope its not a fluke...

Working security at the football games is a pretty sweet gig... we start at 3:30 and nothing really happens until the gates open at 5:30 and I do bag checks and make sure nobody is sneaking stuff in... Once the game starts it stays quiet until halftime...(they allow people to walk out and come back in for the second half). So, I do the bag check thing again and hang around until the end of the game. Except for being on my feet for 8 hours, it's found money. And I get the same spot for every game. I can't see any of the action but I can hear it, see the scoreboard and the fireworks are fired right over my head (touchdowns, field goals and extra points). ASU has scored 88 points in 2 games (both wins) so there's been a lot of fireworks. The games are every other week and on Saturday, so it's ok with the primary job... (what a change, huh? from working once in a while to having two jobs!!). I like 'em both and if the sleep thing is finally in place, then its not a problem...(we'll see what happens tomorrow when I wake up).

Ok, I gotta go... 3 minutes left in the game and the Jets are winning!! The laundry is done and so are the cookies... (in touch with my feminine side). J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
