Work, Work and More Work makes Lisa a Boring Girl!

I just got off work - for the second time. I worked my 10 hours at my full-time job - came home - ate - then went to work at my second part-time job. You may wonder why I have a part-time job - well I am too.

I have two reasons to do this part-time job. First of all, I need the extra money. I just got my second pay check and guess where it went? To the grocery store. On food. We gotta eat. The second reason is because it is helping me lose weight and gain muscle. This part-time job puts me on my feet for hours where my full time job doesn’t. I clean windows and mirrors so I am bending and stooping. I pull trash and replace the bags so that is more bending and lifting. I mop floors and that works out my whole body.

In case you haven’t guessed, I am doing janitor work. It gives me a work out for a minimum of 2 hours at the church we clean. I have been doing this for about a month now and I am just now getting use to it. I usually sweat and get hot and out of breath but it wasn’t so bad tonight. I thought after working 10 hours I would be more tired but here it is after midnight and I can’t sleep. I am working 4 days on my full-time job so I have Fridays off.

Since my schedule change I have added a new building. It will take me 5 hours to clean it. I will do it on Friday afternoons. This will give me more time to make some extra money and also more time to get the exercise because not only do I have 4 bathrooms to clean and classrooms to clean and windows to clean but I also have to vacuum. The vacuum we use is put on your back with straps. It is heavy and I have to have it strapped to my back. In order to unplug it from the wall so the cord will reach where I need to go, I have to bend over with it on. Not only am I going to do all that work but I have to mop 4 bathrooms and 4 classrooms.

I bought a 2 pack of those 5 hr energy shots that aren’t supposed to make you jittery or crash and burn. I will be trying it Friday. I hope to keep doing this to not only earn a little extra money but to help me get the needed exercise I need without going to the boring gym. But don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t dare give up my full time job for the second job.

So I am getting 2 extra hours on Mondays nights and Friday nights and I will get 2 extra hours Wednesday night because the church is Lutheran and they are having services Friday night.

So you might ask me when I sleep? I get by on 6 hours. I would like to take a nap at work but I only have half and hour instead of an hour so I can’t but I used to. When I look in the mirror I see dark circles under my eyes but a thinner face. Some people have noticed my body changing but the scales don’t tell the truth. My clothes fit better and looser. I think I am gaining muscle. When I get the courage to post a full length photo, I will.

So to make a long speech boring, I have come to the realization that I am a compulsive, perfectionist procrastinator.
