What happens when I’m tired
Dear Cousin Out In The Americalands!
So, on Tuesday 30th August, I had a looooong day at work (Okay, so it wasn’t like I worked extra that day, (I didn’t work at all!!!) there was just a lot of travelling to do, so I spent a lot of time with my manager).
Because I knew this day was coming, I thought I’d go to bed super early (8pm) to get enough sleep, but I just couldn’t!!! There are reasons for this, and it’s mainly how this house is, so I’ll explain it another day. All you need to know is that I got about 1 hour sleep and my day started at 4am.
(meat 5am with make up on to cover up some of the dark circles under my eyes!)
My manager picked me up at 5:45am and we were off! We went to Pineham, Northampton first of all so I could meet some people that I get emails from and to learn more about what they do, so I can understand my job better too. I then had to go to a meeting in Oxford, because that’s where the Purchasing department of where I work is and so we had to go to them.
Now at this point, it’s 2pm. I’ve been awake for 10 hours and been travelling in a car for around 4 hours. Over the years, riding in cars make me feel more and more ill and groggy and TIRED! Also, the meeting rom was incredibly warm as it was a hot day and there’s no air-con (we live in England, no air-con is quite common).
I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP!!!
I could feel my eyes closing more and more, I then understood what authors are on about when they write about heavy eyelids and stuff, I honestly couldn’t keep them open. I had to go out for a bit to get some water. We were in that room for 2 hours and the meeting had barely anything to do with me. I was only there because I had no where else to be.
I didn’t get home until 7pm. I was shattered. Only just about convinced myself to heat up some food, and conked out at 9!
I cannot exist without sleep, I really can’t. But, my manager makes the Northampton trip every 2 weeks, so I’m going to have to get used to it. My weekends are literally just going to be my sleep catch up!
Until next time, see ya later!
