Last Night on the Midnight Shift for a Bit

Midland, Michigan
October 16, 2015 7:59am CST
I've been home for about an hour now and hanging out a bit here when I should be in bed for a few hours instead. I just finished my stint working the midnight shift at my job since one of the other workers took the week off on vacation. I've not had to do it as much as I expected as another person wanted that shift for the past few months, but she's since decided to go back to days. I may work windows after lunch today, but there's a possibility of rain between 1-3pm, so that may not work out afterall. Just in case though, I'm ready as I washed the towels we use last night and I brought in our two buckets when I got home from work. The temps got down to about 39 F. last night and when I put hot water into the buckets I want to make sure it stays hot for a while, that's why I brought them in. If we don't work, then I may have some time to play for a bit here, but I should also work on going through paperwork and organizing and filing which hasn't been done in quite a while. If I do it right I can do both, do some organizing and take a break here and there and hang out here some too. (There's a possibility that my older daughter may move back home for a while and we're currently using her room to store our paperwork for the business. I've not filed anything since putting it all in there.

You are always so busy Marsha, it was cold here this morning. We always tend to "invade" the spare room with papers, our guest room is now filled with paperwork of my husband.

I quite like your idea of spending some time sorting out your papers. When they are all in the right place hours can be saved just looking for them .

I'll never get it all done,though. I will always be behind or at least until I'm not working both jobs. Nice idea though.

Midnight shift? Oh that is hard! I don't think I can work on that shift. I'll die early if I can't sleep 7 to 8 hours at night.

Sounds as if you have been very busy. I have been neglecting my filing lately as well. Since my computer crashed I have been using my laptop on the couch. That has put a real crimp in my organization. Speaking of older kids moving back in... my oldest son moved back in with us last month. It is so nice to have him here.

Looks like you're going to be busy. I am in the process of inventory. I need to know what is still here and that lets me know what sold over the Thanksgiving weekend too. I love my home based business... Our spare room has a bed in it and it is often used by the kids, I keep it as a guest room - hopefully my kids will remain guests and not move home
