Finally!

April 3rd, 2015 at 07:51 am

I phoned work this morning and I finally got through to the manager I wanted to talk to. She said she had tried to phone me, but couldn't get through. That sounds like she only tried once...

I go back to work tomorrow. My new contract is 24.5hrs over three days, which is an hour less than my old contract. I also start earlier, with one 7am start and two 6am starts. This means that I will be home earlier though, so that's good, it will just take a while for my body clock to adjust.

We got a takeaway last night - my idea. I've got dinners made for the kids made in advance that are in the freezer. I need to make up a packed lunch for tomorrow.

I haven't done a full working week since December 2013, before my first surgery. It's going to be a shock. Plus I need to learn what to do in the new department.

    Happy your hours and days are established, it's really going to be a shock to your body clock to cope with such significant change. Just take it one hour at a time and expect to be exhausted when you return home for the 1st few weeks. It does get better and feel more routine after 6 weeks or two months. Don't be upset if the house feels like a tip, if you keep things minimalistic, it will get better after 6 weeks.
