Why I am Tired, Everyday?
After seven snooze of my alarm, I woke up with a tired mind early this morning. Actually, it was late already because my alarm schedule already had snoozed 7 times and it is 10 minutes in between. Why? I adjust the time every time it snooze. I decided to stand from my bed eventhough my daughter dog is stopping me. She is scratching my clothes until my shorts fall down. I instantly ran to the bathroom to hide from her and took a bath. I went out of the house and gladly there is a jeep on stand by. There are 2 passenger, make it total of three because of me. There was no traffic. Within 20 minutes I am at work already. During Monday, it is a protocol on our office to take a swab before entering the premises. Every Monday is the swab day and every Friday is the Rapid Test day. Our swab is for nasal only, not the kind that they are doing in the hospital. It is not painful at all. Rapid Test is pricking the finger to get blood to test for the presence of Antigen. I already have Igg. It means the complete dose of vaccine that is my body is now working and protecting me from the virus. When I "graduated", means when I am cleared to enter inside the office it was 9am already. I looked at my workload and I felt sad. I visualizer myself already, getting tired and annoyed by the on going rush and reports in front of me.
Like this! It consists of 34 delivery receipts for report that I need to file and segregate and some are needed to recheck for some unserved items and be kept in the proper magazine folder. I also need to read messages from viber, answer phone calls, sort documents and... Its a lot of work. That is why I will just look at my stuffed toys in the wall to see some cute things and just relax for a moment.
I'm glad that 9am to 12 pm is fast. Or maybe because I am busy that I do not notice the time. Toy experience everyday, the time always runs quickly. I realized it is already lunch, I need to eat.
I think this one is chicken fillet. I love the sauce. I love mayonnaise and that is the sauce. I finished this lunch immediately because I want to take a nap. My eyes were closing while chewing the food. I didn't wait for the food to be digested, I took a nwp already.
So who took the picture? It's me!! I snap it before dozing off. Zzzzzzz I woke up with loads of work again but this time, I am driven, (naks, I am driven daw?) or let's say I am motivated to come home on time so I need to finish everything before the end of the shift. I go home at 6 in the evening and I am at home by 6:30 as I 30 minutes away from the office. I don't want to put in details what I had done in the afternoon because my fingers are getting tired now and I guess it is not needed anymore. At 6:30 in the evening, I will just rest for 10 minutes, the sleep again. I have a 9:30 pm work, another job, a part time job online. I work as an order entry junior level in a private Australian company. I finish my shift at 4am. Actually, it is a full time job now. They allow me to have a 6 hour full time job because of the pandemic. I have another job aside from that job and that is sending emails to prospect, that is from another employer. It is a partime freelance job. I just need to finish the emails and I am good. I do the emails inside the 9:30 to 4am shift. I give in to sleep I guess at 4:30 sm and wake up at 7 to 7:45, with another series of snooze adjustment. It's obvious now why I am always tired... I am doing 3 jobs in a day. I only have one rest day and that is Saturday night. The life as an online order entry and email support happens every Sunday to Friday night. Now that I try to be active at this platform I can only be real active during Saturday. Why I have 3 jobs? If you read my story about fire, I shared to you that I need contingency plan. I have been workung these thrre jobs since 2018 and the money I saved did help me and my family almost everyday, especially now that it is pandemic. I cannot be complacent as anything could happen but I do not anticipate not so good events, though. Money problems is the least I want in life. I want to be worry free and financially stable. I am still looking for additional income because I want some of my money to work for me by investing. My next project is MP2 or Pagibig MP2. Am I killing myself for doing this? Of course. I don't want to get sick that is why I take vitamins and food supplements for my brain and body. I always take a nap in between breaks on both of my shift. I can sleep for 10 minutes. Yes, I am depriving myself of complete rest so I am doing that every Saturday. Final Thoughts I want my money to work for me and not me working for money. That is a realistic goal for me. Right now I'm to far away from that but I wi make sure it will happen. I do my best!!! What helps me to work when I'm tired? Christmas old song wakes me up and move me to work. I cannot play it at the office because lots of people will laugh at me. But I do sometimes with a very low volume. This is to remind me that I need to work work work because Santa Clause is coming to town. I perfect blend of roast coffee is a saviour!! When I am about to cry because I feel I need to sleep but I can't, I will cry, I will feel sorry for myself, I make a coffee, drink it, wipe my tears and get back to work. Do not feel sorry for me because I plan this 5 years ago and have been doing this for 3 years now. I am proud of myself for making it happen so I believe i will make my goal come true in the near future.
Final words, do not deprive yourself from rest. Find a way to make a goal happen that still will give you rest. Thanks for reading guys. I go back to work now!!

Nakakapagod po yang palagiang swab at rapid test.
Sinabi mo pa! Maluwag na ilong ko eh.
Graaabbbee! I salute youuu ma'am. Ang sipag nyo pooo. Pero sana po wag nyo kalimutan bigyan ng break sometimes yung sarili nyo 🤗. Keep safe po.
Oo sis pag rest day, rest day talaga ako para maka bawi.
3 jobs? OMG! I know hardwork pays off, sana makamit mo na hinahangad mo para sa pamilya mo. Pero alagaan mo din katawan mo. Ingat palagi.
Thank you sissy! Yes I will take care of myself!
