Have you ever felt like 24 hours is not enough to do everything that you wanna accomplish?
So much to do, so lil time to do it.
I have a lot of things in mind but I got no energy and enough time to do it.
Now let me share to you a day in my life.
During week days I normally would just focus on my Job because that is the only thing that is giving us an income. It has been so hard to get back on track but for the past months we are trying. I work at home so travelling should not be an issue but because I work on a graveyard shift it makes me feel like getting a life seems to be a challenge.
I start my shift at 11PM but I get up normally an hour or an hour and thirty minutes before 11PM to prepare my tools and open all the sites and files that I need to access.
Once my shift starts there should be no way that I would get up on that Computer not unless if I could have a chance to rest for two 15 minutes break and a one 30 minutes break which serves as our lunch schedule.
Ideally our shift should end at 7AM but when there is any meeting which usually happens that would end thirty minutes after or an hour plus I had to do some admin tasks like sending reports for the day I usually get up from my station at 8AM to 9AM worse just like what happened earlier I finished 11AM. (No. It is not an overtime in case you ask, also I take my breakfast while working so just to make sure I can maximize the time and hopefully end what needs to be done right away.)
Then I would eat my lunch. Usually I would sleep around 12 noon or 1PM. Seldom that I sleep 9AM or 10AM.
Then when I wake up at usually around 4-5PM I would start to think of an article and I know it makes me slowdown because yeah, for sometimes I am not confident if I am making any sense. I feel tired and sleepy all the time. I cannot even make any noise.
After making an article I'll take a bath then eat at 6PM then I will try my best to take a nap at 7PM so again I could get up an hour or an hour and thirty minutes before my shift.
Things that makes me not do properly or not do at all:
Giving time to my kids.
Teaching them alphabet and just the usual mom and daughter bonding. It saddens me that instead of being near to my daughters and give them time to cuddle I am unable to do that. I want to stroll around, I want to bring them to some safe place to enjoy instead of just being inside the house always. I am at home but I got all my mind focus on working and believe me or not I have tried to think logically how I can manage my time in a way that I can give time to my family.
Being a wife or Live in Partner Oftentimes I fail this because I am too tired and weak to even talk too much after my shift. I even get a migraine due to stress. I wanted to talk with my partner, get sometime to plan the future of our children and check if how is he but really got no strength to do that anymore, he is also busy finding ways to be hired working at home set up in any way while taking care of my daughters but it is way too different when I am the one taking care of them as I get to understand their "Love Language".
Chores
My husband do the Laundry most of the time so I do my best to be proactive and fix the clothes ones dry in the Cabinet but at times it will just all pile up unfold for a week til I get to have my rest day and start to do general cleaning. At times I cannot even do anything on rest day because I want to just lay down and grab more sleep.
EXERCISE!
Oh God! How I have been aiming to jog in 3AM to 4AM in the morning.
But usually wakes up during rest day at 6AM sometimes I could not get enough sleep since whenever it is the usual time for me to get up my eyes would automatically open and I would then start to have a hard time going back to sleep. That is why I try to finish a bottle of Beer during rest day to make me sleep properly.
Funny thoughts at times:
I wanna pretend to be sick and ask a doctor to just make me a medical certificate so I can rest. Like I feel getting sick! LOL!
I sometimes pray for a power outage or my computer to messed up. But to no avail I have only experience it once and while this is happening still I cannot sleep thinking about my pending tasks that surely would pile up if I cannot get back to work before my shift ends.
I wish to dream of number combination and buy a Lotto ticket and hopefully it makes me win Millions! (HAHAHA!)
Sometimes I get to think what if BCH would pump higher like $500 one day so I can start gaining profit.
But all these are just funny thoughts during this time as I type this article with a painful eyes because I know I lack some sleep and a lil headache. I know I cannot slowdown. I should not.
I want to keep this Community. I want to be always active. And every lil cents of BitcoinCash I am earning here has been a great help for the past 5 months.
Can you tell me how can I find rest in these restless days?
...end thoughts...
My mom sometimes would tell me to quit my job and look for a new one but is there any other job that gives benefit of working from home and makes me support two families?
Plus I am afraid that if I do that I may not like the environment. I cannot say this is my comfort zone but I just really cannot take the risk of resigning without making sure that I will be in a good company because once I resign I have to render for 30 days on my current company, while the Salary of the last 15 days would be released after 45 days from the date that I am cleared. Then if ever I find a new job it would possibly be that I won't get paid til the next 15 days.
As a mom, it would be too hard for me to handle the budget and I do not want to loan at anyone anymore. Having debts is such a nightmare with its high interest.
Thank you much for reading my dilemma. If ever we have the same schedule and you are a mom like me may I ask how did you manage your time? I envy those who are stay at home mom supported by their partners but I just cannot see myself staying at home all my life coz I know I have the ability and skills of being in a Corporate world.
As for my partner, since pandemic it made him so hard to get back up plus no one will take care of our two kids.
Ano work mo te?
