So my goal in September was to write twice a week. That would have amounted to 8 posts. And this is my 6th post of the month and technically, I could still make it, but I’m headed into a stretch of overnight shifts and when I do that, I typically work, eat, and sleep. Overall, I don’t mind nights much although it’s hard enough on my body that I couldn’t do it as a full time job, even with the set up we have of 7 days on, 7 days off. I’m doing three and it will definitely have me feeling every little bit of it by the time those three nights are over. Like I always say, when I was 32, my body was a lot more forgiving than it is at 52.
I do feel like I have jump started my writing a little bit. Taking away the pressure of always having to have something profound to say has helped me break through a little bit. And it also doesn’t have to be a 5 paragraph essay either - it can just be some random thoughts I have.
As far as tonight goes, it promises to be a busy night BUT there are new music releases from Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, AND Stevie Nicks (which I was not anticipating.) So YAY for new music releases and thank goodness Stevie Nicks is still around because honestly, I didn’t think she would be still standing at age 76 considering the amount of cocaine she did in the 70s.
We’ll see if I can crank out some posts while I’m on overnights, but no promises!
