First Night Down

Morning!

This is my first weekend off this year! And by off, I mean that I'm actually off with absolutely nobody that I'm travelling to see or spending the weekend with, and the day is all mine.

(Apart from the little fact that I'm on callout. But last night I had 0 calls, and it was lovely.)

The last week or so I've been making up hours in work by catching a lift with my housemate in and arriving at work by 7.45am after waking around 7am. This is on top of having not actually had many days off since Christmas and having made an effort to wake at 9.30am while on late shift last time so that I could get things done before I had to head to work.

Yesterday, a shift swap which meant that I worked a late shift for someone, I woke at 6.20am. This morning, a glorious rare Saturday where I am not working (technically not true) I woke at 6am. Shit!

I've never had a sleeping pattern, have always kinda liked that unlike the rest of my working friends I have no problems with staying up until 3am and then getting up at 8.30am to get to work. I don't want to be waking at 6am every day! I'm on late shift for the next two weeks, and I'm gonna have to knock it on it's head. I don't mind waking at 10am, but seriously - waking at 6am with a horrific hangover and having only had 3 hours of sleep? No thanks!

I was supposed to be getting up and having a full day of photography fun today. It's miserable and grey outside. Always the way. I need to finish my rolls of film by Wednesday, and I'm notoriously bad for actually getting round to doing stuff before work when I'm on late shift.

So what to do with myself?! I was thinking of skipping the gym if I was going to be walking around all day taking photos. However now it's grey and eww until about midday according to the BBC and I don't really fancy venturing out for a while, to the gym or with a camera.

Last time I had the morning off while waiting to catch a train I got so bored I'd been into town and back by 11.30am and I had no idea what to do with myself!
