It's only Monday.

This week is not going to be awesome:/ I say this not because I am a negative Nancy, but because Adam is working night shift...twelve hour night shift all week long. This is a big transition for us. Not only does it suck for Adam (who wants to work twelves on night shift?!,) but it's hard on me as well. I like all of our little routines and seeing his face every day :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that Adam was able to get this supervisor position in food and in Portland. It is going to give him the experience in food that he wants and needs to pursue his ideal job, but in the first four months since he has been there he has been switched from working day shift to swing shift indefinitely. I was really hoping we were done with weird shifts:/ This might not seem like a big deal to most, but for us, we enjoy the time we spend together after work, including having dinner in the evenings and unwinding together. We just like to be with one another. We're kind of in love:) Adam switching to swing shift changed our evening routine from having our little family dinners and relaxing time to a quick hello around 11:00 p.m. when Adam gets home from work and then bed time because I wake up anywhere between 6:15 and 7:30 a.m. Adam is awesome in that he still makes an effort to go to bed at the same time I do even though he is just getting home from work. It's a compromise really because on days I work later I stay up until 12:30-1 a.m. with him :) With him working 6 p.m.-6 a.m. we will literally be missing one another all week, or at least until Thursday afternoon since I have that day off.

Adam is the calm in my day. Spending time with him makes me happy. He makes those days when I get stuck going through the motions at work worth it. Need I say more on why I'm going to miss seeing his face this week? I think you get it :)
