So I have survived my first week working the evening shift 🙂 To be honest it is the ones one is working with who makes the day bad or good and these people I work with made it good 🙂 The job itself is just as boring or fun no matter what shift one is working even though I really don’t want to work nights ever again.
I’ll be working Monday to Thursday every week and then for some reason they’ve decided that we also must work every other Friday and to make it even better they’ve made that day longer. So I’ll be working one and a half hour more those days. In my opinion that’s a not too smart idea but I’m not the one deciding these things. So yesterday I was quite tired all day and even though I had an almost two hour long nap I still was so tired in the evening that I went to bed earlier than I had planned.
The dogs and I have had some really nice morning walks this week, one of the big plusses about working in the evenings. Later on when the nights are getting so long that they’ll start before 4 pm I still will have those walks in daylight. The dogs have mostly behaved really well but one evening some deer had started to “bark”, they do that when they are warning about dangers. So naturally my dogs had been answering and since they too then must have been warning about something the evening had become pretty lively 🙂 🙂 🙂
Alma also shows how happy she is that I’m at home again by shouting her lungs out 🙂 🙂 🙂 I told her that I really like that she likes me being back again but could she possible be doing that a bit more quiet 🙂 🙂 To my big surprise she is now mostly shouting in either the old garage or in the dog house 🙂 🙂 I’ve also noticed that there is a big space in the big fridge at work so that I can go to the grocery store and buy things that needs to stay cool just before I start to work! That’s a huge plus because I don’t want to have to go grocery shopping either early in the morning at work days or in the weekend.
So so far things work as good as they can. Tomorrow I’ll most likely be a bit late for work because I’m waiting for a package. Originally I was going to get it to the grocerystore in the village where I work but for some reason the mail delivery company decided that no” Either You go and get it at the big office in Falköping or You’ll have to stay at home and sign that You’ve gotten it. The thing (it is one of those things one use to pick fruit high up in the trees) costs less than $ 10US! I’ve had packages delivered to my home (well mostly to my neighbors but they were close enough) costing three times as much and not having to be at home at all. I really don’t understand how they are thinking at Post Nord as the company is called 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is time for a cup of tea and after that perhaps a tiny nap so that I won’t go to bed too early tonight.
Have a great day!

The spiders have been busy in your part of the world. I haven’t seen any orb weaver webs yet but it’s been very warm. They’re probably hiding in the shade.
Night shift is difficult but it usually was a bit more relaxed. It also usually had some very interesting people working on it. I mean interesting in both the good and odd sense. I’m not really a night person anymore so I’d have a hard time on that shift. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
This week the weather here has been insufferably hot. The AC had been idle since the end of July but its been running constantly this week.
The highlight of the week was when I rescued a baby snapping turtle from death by either being squashed by traffic or broiled by exposure on the hot asphalt. It was incredibly tiny and very cute. No more than an inch long. I thought it was a clod of dried mud until I saw the head, legs, and tail. I hope it grows up to be really big and mean.

Hi Caryn!
Yes very busy but I’ve just recently seen the first orb webs. Not many around but I can see a few more each day. It all depends on how much morning dew we’re having 🙂
Yes so much more relaxing, no bosses around to make our day bad 🙂
We’re three people over 50 and the rest are more or less kids and that can make the day interesting. I’m so glad I’m much older 🙂 🙂 🙂
We’ve had a rather nice week. A bit too warm at the beginning but now it has started to cool down and it was finally below 50F when I came home last night, not even a mosquito had the energy to annoy us 🙂 Still more and more moose flies around now but since I’ve started to wear a light grey hoodie on our walks they tend to avoid me, I have two brown ones as well but they have almost the color of deer and moose so those flies avoids lighter colors.
We don’t have either turtles or tortoises here but I have read about those snapping turtles, yes lets hope it does grow up to become one of those really big and mean ones 🙂 🙂 🙂 (to be honest we do have turtles living here because people tend to buy them as pets and when they become too big or they get tired of them people tend to toss them out into our lakes. They’ll survive here but our winters are too long for the small ones to survive.
Have a great day!
