    @belimawr - Plumbing problems suck. I don't envy you there. Good luck with that one. At least Galvanized pipe is easy to replace compared to copper pipe.

    Nah, when I get around to it, I will replace with copper. Galvanized is just too much trouble.

    What about the new PVC pipes? The new plastics are designed specifically for hot water. No brazing involved.

    I think I'm a lil burned out myself but on the 'watching what I eat side'. It's so much easier to not give a *kitten* lol.

    As the weather is warmer, I am trying to walk a bit more. Unfortunately, tonight I walked to the 'large animal area' and stepped in a big, deep pile of *kitten*.... :grumble: ruined my pants.

    Hey, all! Mind if I join you? I don't work the night shift, but I'm nocturnal by nature, so I'm always up all night. It would be nice to have some people to talk to when everyone else I know is sleeping. :smile:

    Hey ya'll just wanted to stop in and say hey. I see many of you have interesting jobs. Props to everyone! I'm Britt, I work for 911. Currently dealing with night shifts for work and day shifts with my child lol. Sitting at about 4hrs left til its time to leave and hit the gym (first time trying to workout after work instead of before). Little one is with grandparents this weekend which means hopefully sleep until time to get dressed for the next shift! How's everyone else's night going? What do yall usually do after work? Head straight home and sleep or stay up for while?

    @LacednLace - I've tried the before and after work workouts. Really I find that it depends on the weather. I really try to take advantage of good sleeping weather but if it's sunny and warm, the bike comes out and I'm off riding for a couple hours. :smiley:

    Can't speak for everyone, but I don't mind. I was nocturnal growing up so I stayed up all night got maybe 2hrs of sleep before school/college or work. Then I had my son.....Forcing 20yrs of being nocturnal out the windows. Forced myself to function during daytime and sleep at night. Then got stuck back on night shifts lol. So yeah, no issues here if you wanna hang out. What do you usually do at night if not work?

    Well, it's slowed down. Time for a trip on the exercise bike and a shower and on to my last 24 hours for this shift.

    Its been gorgeous out here lately when I get off. But with having a toddler I find it hard to stay up and pray I get sleep versus forcing getting a few hrs right away and being awake while he is too. Though I'm glad someone responded. Im testing this workout after work in hopes itll help me nod off easier and keep me motivated on getting my workouts in versus feeling like I have to wake up hrs early and rush my workout and shower before work.

    I head home. Have 2-3 drinks and then crash. Then try to get my workout in when I wake up. I hate night shift though. Hopefully only doing it for a 3 month rotation

    Well, my fiance works until midnight and then stays up until roughly 6 o'clock, so I'm usually just hanging out with him or doing something else to pass the time (reading, crafty stuff, lurking on MFP, etc.). :smile: We don't have any kids, and I have some physical issues that limit my job opportunities, so I have more than my fair share of free time at the moment.

    I go home, feed all the animals we have, and sleep. It's quietest in the am at MadDog Manor, so that's when I sleep!! It seems as if I'm up for good by 2 or 3 pm, which sucks, but whatever, gotta pay the bills

    I go home, set up the coffee pot for the day walkers of my household, clean the kitchen, and then workout, shower, crash. :sleeping:
