Alana's Journey

[ChrissyRyan]

I went the gym this afternoon and walked on the treadmill. The entire time I walked, all I could feel was my hips and butt swaying back and forth. Fat redistribution seems to be picking up speed, and don't think I can physically walk like a guy anymore. I think this might be permanent.  🤩

This is good news for us who transition.

Hugs,

Chrissy

Today is a holiday for us government workers. It was nice to get 10 hours of sleep for the first time in a month. I'm going to be off for a few weeks very soon. When I get back from vacation, I'll have a few weeks of working day shift, then I'll be back on my normal afternoon work schedule. I don't know how people work days. I'm just not wired for working it

I do not know how people can work the night shift!

I enjoyed it. All the supervisors worked days, so no one was bothering you, and you could get stuff done.

The downside was that you had to sleep when the rest of the world was awake, so you could sleep or go shopping, pay bills, and do normal stuff instead. I love my sleep too much to sacrifice it.

I did a spell of continental shifts when I did a spell in a bottling plant, rotating 8 hr ones and the 12hr 3days 3 nights. Hard work.

The best shift I did was the twilight shift Mon-Fri 16:00pm to 1:00 am with a 19:30 finish on a Friday! Was perfect. You could get everything you needed to do done during the day worked till 1 am then a lie in to say 10:00 and start again.

I think it's one of those things where you're wired to do it. I always hated being up early in the morning. Working in the morning has always felt like it's going against my body clock. Working afternoons has always felt very natural to me. I probably have a messed up circadian rhythm.

Rotating shifts is brutal. I had a previous job where we very short handed. I ended up working 3p-3a for weeeks on end.

Not having any admins is one of the things I enjoy about working afternoons. It's nice to get up in the late morning and go workout when the gym is empty, or take care of all my appointments when everyone is at work.
