The Night Shift


From Wednesday morning to Sunday morning this is all I see of my husband. He now works the night shift. From 6 p.m. to sometime in the wee morning hours he sits at a computer in the newsroom and puts up the news on the Web. I get up at 7 a.m. and leave for work around 9:15 and get home about 6:30. We have Sundays and Mondays together -- then the whole thing starts over again.

Allan has adapted to all the light in our bedroom by putting a little feather pillow over his eyes. He is adjusting by getting a little more sleep each day.

We talk on the phone lots -- I remind him to walk the dog, what to eat, what chores to do. He calls me with questions on cooking directions and where to find things. For now it okay -- but I'll be glad when his schedule changes back!
