Bored, Bored, Bored

That's me and that is what I'm feeling.

It is only Tuesday and already the week has been too long.

I did my first volunteer shift with the Domestic Violence Victim support unit last Sunday evening, which could attribute to my lethargy today. My shift was from 7pm to midnight and I have to admit that I am not as young as I used to be? Nor do I want to be. I enjoy getting to bed early in order to get my beauty sleep, and who doesn't need that.

Unfortunately, we didn't get one single call out to assist any victims of domestic violence, which is really a good thing if you happen to be the intended victim. So my partner and I drove around to the different precincts, and checked for any reports that we needed to followed up on. Nothing. So we got back in the car and just kept driving. It would be nice to think that on sunday night the city was living domestic violence free, but I am more likely to think that it is happening but no one was reporting it.

So by the time the shift ended, and I was home in my cosy bed, it was after 1am. For someone who starts work at 7am, this is way too late! Admittedly, I did pretty well. I woke up before the alarm went off, and felt great until around 2pm....then it was all downhill.

I wish I could say I was in bed at 7pm that evening but I had homework to finish, and an exam to study for, and we met up with a friend for an hour. So by 10.30 I was totally exhausted, which seems to describe my daily existence, of late.

So for now it is good bye, and good night.
