As the title suggests, the end of an era and beginning of an extremely positive change has occurred...the vampire of the graveyard shift is now a day-walker (thanks to the movie Blade). Yesterday was the first time since I started at Desert Highlands that I began a shift and went home on the same day and it was fantastic. I slept like a baby last night...(except for the wetting the bed part) and I am looking forward to today's adventures. There is nothing like watching a sunset while cruising around a beautifully landscaped property (I actually get to see the property) and talking to living, breathing people instead of wild animals...(not that I talk to wild animals...God, I was working nights too long). I was a little apprehensive about the change, but I believed that it would be good and I have no reason not to believe that it was the right time and place to make that change.
Now that my sleep cycle will be returning to a more manageable time slot, there are plans in the works to finally get this old, out-of-shape carcass that I inhabit back into looking like something I want to walk around in...(and that may actually attract a mate...Jeez, there's the wild animal thing again) and may be pleasant enough for women to find appealing...(that sounds better). I have blown the dust off the gym membership card and have taken the clothes off the Total Gym and returned them to the closet where they belong...(I am actually writing this blog between sets...good boy!) and the long arduous task has begun...I foresee many days ahead of total body soreness and I couldn't be happier. This is the part of my addictive personality that comes in handy...when I get started and the endorphin production starts, I tend to stick with it...I just need to approach it the way I did with running...drag myself out the door and do it. Once I got on the road, I didn't want to stop running and I feel the same way working out. I just need to take it easy so that I don't overdo it...(which is the part of the addictive personality that doesn't come in handy). And as my history tells us, I can certainly do the "overdoing" part...(see 2 knee procedures and 2 DWIs).
So that is the plan...more to come on many fronts. Please stay tuned and have a great day!
