Relationships and work schedules

long distance, love, opposite schedules, relationships

{via}

I’m not sure if I’ve written about this on the blog (but maybe I’ve tweeted about it), but I work a swing shift schedule.  My work hours are from 2PM to 11PM on a normal day, but sometimes earlier if I skip lunch.  I was hired for my current job exclusively for the swing shift, so unless I apply for another job internally or with another company, this is going to be my work schedule indefinitely.  I was temporarily put on a morning schedule for about a year, but now I’m back to swing.

Justin works an earlier shift, from 6AM to 3PM.  We don’t live together at the moment.

And now, for the next 4 months or so, my mom will be living with me since she’s taken a temporary job in my area.  So now be seeing Justin maybe an hour or two a day on the weekdays if we have lunch & dinner together, and then most of the weekend (thank goodness).

I know that there are many other couples who find themselves in long distance relationships, and I’m very thankful to be close in proximity to Justin, but sometimes having opposite schedules like this really makes me miss him a lot.

:(

I’d like to know, have you ever had an opposite work schedule with your significant other?  Or do you have a long distance relationship?  How do you make it work?

I’m such a sap when it comes to dogs.

animal rescue, dogs, love, shelter dogs

This post from Madebygirl made me burst into tears!

I think shelter dogs are the greatest.  Really.  I’m so thankful for rescuing Buddy every single day.  I used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college and these dogs can have  such an inspiring capacity for love…. I don’t think enough people realize they can adopt such amazing friends there.

Audrey & Eldad Hagar never imagined that when they began photographing the hundreds of fostered dogs (and other creatures) who came through their home, that they would actually create a book. They just wanted to remember the animals they had shared great memories with.

Below is their short story about a little dog named Bradley…


“We rescued Bradley from the shelter last night, and today I took him to a neurologist.

The doctor had only sad news for Bradley…

We agreed he should go to sleep and not suffer this severe hydrocephalus. (as you can see, his head is weirdly shaped due to a lot of fluids in his head / brain).

I didn’t want to let him go yet, so from the vet I took Bradley to the beach, I sat with him, played with him, and I fed him many cheeseburgers and fried chicken.

We sat there for two hours, and after that I took him to the vet’s office right on the beach, and he went to sleep forever :-(

It was such a sad day… I cried like a baby for this little guy. Even now when I am typing these words, tears are coming to my eyes…” (The end)

Today is my one-year anniversary with my little dog, Buddy.  I remember taking him home from the rescue center just like it was yesterday!  He really does light up my life.

Happy One Year, Buddy!
