back to days

brain is jelly.

granted, it's spicy cranberry jelly.

jelly none-the-less.

perhaps returning to daytime shifts will help me out!

Fog Horns

It's a reset weekend.

After doing mostly 6AM to 2PM or midday shifts, my schedule necessitates my transitioning to an inverse circadian rhythm. After two days off, I have one 2PM to 10PM shift, and then five 10PM to 6AMs. Just like flying across country there are a couple of tricks for adjusting that I'm trying to follow. Today, I:

• Slept until 9:00 AM
• Plan to have a late breakfast
• Am contemplating each toot of a distant foghorn
• Will take a midday bike trip (via BART) to my parents in the East Bay
• Plan to eat dinner as my second meal
  
• Anticipate catching up on my writing late into the night

Tomorrow, I plan to:

• Sleep in even later
• Wait for the (forecasted) morning rain to cease before returning to San Francisco
• Take an evening jog
  
• Eat lunch, dinner and a late night snack
• Study some topics in emergency medicine
  
• Sleep from 1AM to 9AM (Monday)
  

Then I'll have to figure out where is the best place to sleep during the day...

A similar plan worked for me when I flipped from 12 hour day shifts to the converse while working at Harborview. Stay tuned for the outcome.
